## What is GOLFRiSE?

Scan your scorecard. AI extracts scores & stats, then posts your hole-by-hole scores & stats to the USGA in seconds. Plan. Scan. Post. Save.

SCAN & POST IN SECONDS
Take a photo of your paper scorecard after your round and golfrise extracts your scores & stats — plus scores for every golfer on the card — recognizes the course you're at, and prepares your hole-by-hole scores and stats for USGA submission.

OFFICIAL USGA INTEGRATION
Connected directly to the USGA. Post hole-by-hole scores AND stats that count toward your official Handicap Index®. View your Handicap Index®, scoring record, and round history all in one place.

CAPTURE EVERY GOLFER
Playing with friends? Capture scores for everyone on the scorecard simultaneously. Share rounds with your group and keep everyone's game tracked — even if they don't have the app yet.

SMART STATISTICS
Go beyond the score. golfrise automatically detects and tracks:
· Fairways Hit
· Greens in Regulation (GIR)
· Putts per hole
· Drive accuracy
· Approach accuracy

COURSE DISCOVERY
Browse and follow your favorite courses. See scorecards, round history, news, and connect with other golfers who play there — all in a dedicated course page. PRO users can chat with the @golfrise AI bot to learn more about the course.

GPS & DISTANCES
Ad-free and available for all Standard and PRO users. Live yardages to the front, center, and back of every green. Distances adjusted for slop & elevation. Hole maps keep you oriented on any course, without a separate rangefinder app.

CONNECT & COMPETE
Add friends to your rounds for easy game tracking (skins, match play, stableford). Chat with your friends and the @golfrise AI bot to plan trips and rounds. Track golfers you've played with.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-15, version 1.1.4*

I’ve been using Golfrise to capture my scorecards and post to my handicap.  It’s fast and easy and I really like the design!

### 5/5 — Favorite golf app yet

*2026-04-30, version 1.1.4*

I’ve used a bunch of other apps but they are all clunky. I just started using golfrise and the simplicity is exactly what I was looking for. I use it to upload my scorecards and I’ve just started playing with some of the other features. Overall, great app for me as a mediocre golfer. Highly recommend.
