Golph is a golf GPS built around one idea: get out of your way. Most golf apps treat the course like a dashboard. Feeds, badges, leaderboards, stats — a whole phone screen competing for your attention before you've even hit a shot. Golph does the opposite. One number. A quiet map. Then nothing. WHAT GOLPH DOES – GPS yardages to wherever you need them – Calmed satellite view that keeps the course as the focus – Tap-to-aim with a soft beam showing your line and carry distance – Simple scorecard that stays out of your way – Beat yourself: your shot history builds a ghost over time, so every round you're racing the best version of you at this course – 31,000+ courses worldwide THE GHOST Every landing position is logged silently as you play. After a few rounds, Golph shows you a heatmap of past-you — warm where you score, cool where trouble lives. It's not about stats. It's about knowing your own game well enough to beat it. THE PHILOSOPHY No social feed. No badges. No leaderboard of strangers. You paid for this app, so it works for you — not the other way around. The best round of your life happened when you forgot your phone. Golph tries to make that easier. Battery life notice: continued background GPS use may affect battery life.

Takes 15 tries of resetting it to play a round of golf with it. I re signed up 2 times just because this is the only app I have downloaded when I’m on Hole one, so I have no choice. Nothing like paying for a whole year just for the app to tell you your subscription content exist when you need it. Also, don’t accidentally close the app while your playing…you will loose all your progress in the round. It used to work just fine last year, but every time this happens, you loose all your scores and data. Also, when I accidentally closed it yesterday, I couldn’t even restart a game. The app just kept closing. So, shame on me for not talking a score card. That 2 rounds of golf that was ruined because my score was messed up. Most likely deleting this app. They don’t accept feedback on the app…so I’ll wait to see if anything is fixed but I doubt if. If you don’t want to throw your phone during golf, find a new app. This app is more annoying then hooking a driver into the woods. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-04-12, version 3.4.2* Love using the platform. Best app forkeeping up with friends ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2023-03-11, version 3.3.2* Super simple and easy to use. Enjoyed golfing with this app last season as a new comer to the sport. Can’t wait to see what else is in store for future upgrades. Thanks @golph! ### 1/5 — Poor coverage *2023-01-22, version 3.0.9* App looks like it has potential. My course is not on it. When asked to enter the course to map it, the submit button does not work. Released too soon. Look forward to seeing it when it is finished ### 2/5 — Very few courses *2023-01-09, version 3.0.9* App looks nice but has just 1 of the 7 courses I play. Perhaps when the app has matured it will be great but not for me at this time. ### 5/5 — My go to golf app *2022-12-06, version 3.0.1* Love using the app and has helped my game since starting to use. Dev team is quick to add new courses and highly suggest any golfer to use! ### 1/5 — US Courses Only *2022-11-30, version 3.0* This app only works for American golf courses. No Canadian courses comes up in search or location. Not sure why this app is made available internationally, if it doesn't work internationally. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2022-11-29, version 3.0* Great and easy to use! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-11-26, version 3.0* Amazing software!!!! This made me feel a little more comfortable with this new sports endeavor I’m embarking on! ### 5/5 — Best Golf App Out There *2022-11-24, version 3.0* So easy to use and great way to connect to the golfing community. My boys love to check in and see who’s golfing where! ## Frequently asked questions about Golph ### What does the Golph app do?

It's a reset. We rebuilt Golph from the ground up around one idea: the calm of a great caddie. One number, a quiet map, and an app that gets out of the way so you can actually play. WHAT'S NEW – Entirely redesigned interface. Calmed satellite imagery, one hero yardage, nothing competing for your attention. – Tap-to-aim beam. A soft cone of light from your ball to your target, with carry distance shown on the course. – The ghost. Your shot positions are now logged every round, building a spatial record of your game over time. Warm where you score. Cool where trouble lives. More rounds = better ghost. – Expanding Live Activity. One number on your Lock Screen. Tap Score and it grows a stepper right there — no need to open the app. – Scoring rebuilt. Par-anchored stepper with golf's own visual language: circles for under, squares for over. – No more news feed. If you were with us before — thank you, and we're sorry it took this long. If you left, we think you'll find something worth coming back to. Shut up and golf. ### 3.5 — 2024-10-10 Just updating some packages to keep the app running as smoothly as it should.
