Your Handicap Index, worked out the way your federation works it out. And your game, hole by hole. IT WORKS IN EVERY COUNTRY THE WHS REACHES The World Handicap System is used in more than a hundred countries, and this app applies its official calculation in full: the average of the best 8 differentials of the last 20, soft cap and hard cap, the exceptional score reduction, the Low Handicap Index over 365 days. No local variant, no approximation. UNIVERSAL USE: THREE NUMBERS ARE ENOUGH Wherever you play, all you need is par, Course Rating and Slope, printed on every scorecard in the world: you enter them by hand in ten seconds, and the courses you play most often you save under a name of your own. The 220 Italian clubs are already included, with the data of every set of tees. It all works with no connection. HOW MANY STROKES DO I GET ON THIS COURSE Pick the club, the course and the colour of the tees — or give the numbers yourself — and the app works out your course handicap with the official formula, HI × Slope / 113 + (CR − Par). YOUR GAME, HOLE BY HOLE In the Course tab you record the round as you play it, in two ways. Competition: strokes, putts, tee shot and penalties, a few taps per hole, without holding anyone up. Practice: shot by shot — where you play from, the club, how it went against the target, the mistake if there was one, and where the ball ends up. Out of it come the real numbers: greens in regulation, fairways hit, putts per round, scrambling and up-and-down, sand saves, penalties, and how you score with woods, long irons, mid irons, short irons and wedges — so you know if the problem is the drive or the fifteen yards. After each shot you can tap a face for how you felt. You read them over several rounds at once — last 10, last month, three months, this year, all — or over the rounds you pick. While a round is open no statistics are shown: Rule 4.3 allows you to record data during a round, not to analyse it before the round ends. THE COURSE PARS, ONCE AND FOR ALL Map the pars hole by hole and give the map a name: it comes back on your next round there, you can copy it onto another course, rename it, delete it. Write it at home with the scorecard in hand, and correct it mid-round too: the strokes you already wrote stay, and the results are recomputed. PAIRS AND TEAM COMPETITIONS Pick the form of play and the app works out everyone's handicap: four-ball better ball, foursomes, greensomes, scrambles from 2 to 5 players, and match play with the strokes given. Every player can start from different tees. The allowances are the official ones, and every one can be changed. WHAT WILL MY HANDICAP BE AFTER THE ROUND Enter your Stableford points and you know at once how your Handicap Index will move, without waiting for the next day. PLAY THE ROUND BEFORE YOU PLAY IT The Challenge tab tells you, before you set off, what score you need to come down, to stay where you are, and below which threshold you go back up. SEE WHERE THE NUMBER COMES FROM The panel "The calculation" opens every step: the sum of the eight, the division, the rounding, the adjustments. AND ALSO — 9-hole and 18-hole rounds, with the expected differential for the nine — Put a round on hold and resume it whenever you like; edit it after saving too — Export your rounds as JSON or as a CSV table, to analyse them where you like — Drafts: prepare a competition beforehand, confirm it afterwards — An archive by year, your best ever, and the run of each season — A backup file, so changing phone loses nothing WHAT STAYS FREE, ALWAYS The handicap calculation, the strokes you receive, your record and the backup will never carry a price: they are the app, not an accessory. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no sign-up, no server. Everything on the phone. NOTE The figure worked out here is a prediction: the official one can differ slightly if a PCC adjustment is applied, which is only known after the competition. The app says so on every result. ## Is Guess My Golf Handicap safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Guess My Golf Handicap. ## Is Guess My Golf Handicap legit?

Your game, hole by hole. WHERE IT IS AND WHAT IS INSIDE There is one more tab at the bottom of the screen, Course, with the flag. It is the home of the hole-by-hole round, and it has three parts: • Rounds — the next round to start and every round you have played • Stats — what your rounds say, over the period you choose or the rounds you select • Courses — the par maps of the courses you saved You start from the green panel "Play with stats": pick the course, tap Set up the round, choose how you want to keep score, and go. The tabs you already use — Play, Simulate, Record, Challenge — stay where they are and do not change at all. TWO WAYS TO KEEP SCORE Competition, quick: strokes, putts, tee shot and penalties, a few taps per hole, without holding anyone up. The app works out the green in regulation. Practice, shot by shot: where you play from, the club, how it went against the target, the mistake if there was one — chunk, top, hook — and where the ball ends up. Penalties follow the Rules. You can switch mode mid-round: the holes already entered stay as they are. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER Greens in regulation, fairways hit, putts per round and per hole, scrambling and up-and-down, sand saves, penalties by type. And how you score with each band of clubs: woods, long irons, mid irons, short irons and wedges — so you know whether the problem is the drive or the fifteen yards. While a round is open no statistics are shown: Rule 4.3 allows you to record data during a round, not to analyse it before the round ends. HOW YOU FELT After each shot you can tap a face. It is there to show you, with a cool head, how you handle emotion on the course and what happens to the next shot after a mistake. THE COURSE PARS, ONCE AND FOR ALL Map the pars hole by hole and give the map a name: it comes back on your next round there, you can copy it onto another course with the same number of holes, rename it, delete it. Write it at home with the scorecard in hand, from Course > Courses, without starting a round. And correct it mid-round too: the strokes you already wrote stay, greens in regulation and results are recomputed. Courses entered by hand with par, CR and Slope work the same way. THE ROUND STAYS YOURS Put a round on hold and resume it whenever you like, even starting another one meanwhile. A saved round can be corrected in every part: holes, putts, shot by shot, pars, date, course, tees, mode and notes. And it exports as JSON, to open it here again, or as a CSV table to analyse it elsewhere; exported rounds import back without replacing anything. SCORECARD COLOURS Results use the code of competition boards: yellow for eagle, red for birdie, no colour for par, blue for bogey and beyond. YOUR DATA, SAFE The app keeps a copy of everything at each launch, on top of the automatic backup, and before any restore it tells you what you are about to replace. It all stays on the phone. YOUR HANDICAP IS UNTOUCHED Hole-by-hole rounds live on their own: they never enter your record and never affect the Handicap Index calculation, which stays the official WHS one. ### 2.11.52 — 2026-09-16 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Guess My Golf Handicap | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Golf Handicap — Index Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/golf-handicap-index-tracker/id6805731800) | — | Free | Sports | | [Golf Handicap - HCP PRO](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/golf-handicap-hcp-pro/id6790091937) | — | Free | Sports | | [GolfTracker - Handicap WHS](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/golftracker-handicap-whs/id6780661462) | — | Free | Sports | | [NGTrainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ngtrainer/id6746931920) | — | Free | Sports | | [Golf Score Keeper: Parfolio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/golf-score-keeper-parfolio/id6791954892) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Sports | | [Wager Golf: Scorecard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wager-golf-scorecard/id6767638917) | — | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
