## What is Handicap Tracker?

Handicap Tracker is the simple way to calculate and track your golf handicap with the World Handicap System (WHS). Add the courses you play, post your scores, and watch your Handicap Index update — no membership, no account, no sign-up.

CALCULATE YOUR HANDICAP INDEX
Post a round and Handicap Tracker computes your Handicap Index using the World Handicap System (WHS) 2024 method — the framework used by golf's governing bodies. Your index updates automatically every time you add a round.

A COURSE HANDICAP FOR ANY COURSE
Add any course you play with its course rating, slope rating, and par. Handicap Tracker gives you a Course Handicap for each one, shown as a whole number, so you know your strokes before you tee off.

SEE EVERY ROUND'S SCORE DIFFERENTIAL
Each round shows its own Score Differential, so you can see exactly how every round factors into your index.

18- AND 9-HOLE ROUNDS
Post full 18-hole rounds or 9-hole rounds. Nine-hole rounds are combined into 18-hole equivalents using the official expected-score method, so they count the right way toward your index. Your first index establishes after 54 holes — any mix of 9s and 18s.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Watch your Handicap Index trend over time with charts and stats, see which rounds are counting toward your index right now, and spot whether your game is heading in the right direction.

SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Your courses and rounds sync automatically over iCloud, so your full history is on every device you sign in to.

DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
A clean, fast, native design — including full Dark Mode. Export your full round history to CSV whenever you want it.

HANDICAP TRACKER PRO — OPTIONAL
Handicap Tracker is free and supported by ads. Pro is an optional upgrade for golfers who want more:
- Handicap Card: share or print a clean card of your index as a PDF or image
- No ads
- What Counts Next: see the score you need at your home course to lower your index
- Deeper stats: more ways to look at your index over time

Everything free stays free. Your Handicap Index, Course Handicap, round history, stats, and CSV export are not moving behind the paywall.

Pro Annual: an auto-renewing subscription at $19.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
Pro Lifetime: a one-time purchase of $59.99 — not a subscription, nothing to renew.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

### 5/5 — Great Free App

*2026-07-16*

One of the best golf handicap apps out there. Love 9 hole rounds count towards your handicap. Would highly recommend to anyone.

### 5/5 — Good app for free

*2026-07-12, version 3.0.0*

Have to enter the courses but works great and is free

### 5/5 — Excellent App 10/10

*2025-11-09*

I would highly recommend this app. It is a free and easy way to get an accurate handicap index. Personally, I have used it for YEARS. I have all of those scores and courses saved right here. It saves Everything! The good ones and the bad. The rush you get when you type that fresh low score in and hit save…Bang! Watch your number drop on the graph.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-05-26*

I downloaded this app and took the time to add all of my courses and rounds from the last seven years and a few months later, it just deleted everything - no courses, no rounds, all gone.

### 1/5 — Lost all my data

*2025-05-20*

Do not use this app!!! I’ve been recording my scores in this app for two years and yesterday it said I have no scores and no courses. No data. All gone.

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2025-04-26*

Tested with “dummy scores” and this app is just as accurate as My EG. Not playing in official competitions anymore so refuse to pay £55 per year for something I can get for free. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but gives me all I need, an accurate handicap.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and Free!

*2024-11-19*

Good way to keep track of your handicap

### 2/5 — Music

*2024-06-22, version 2.0.1*

I hate it every time I put in my score some Mexican music comes on how about eliminating it I’m offended

### 5/5 — Andy Hop

*2024-01-28*

I play golf socially for fun with friends and didn’t want to pay expensive monthly or yearly subscription to see what my WHS handicap would be.  This app is amazing and easy to use.  Wonderful.  Well done.

### 3/5 — Stopped

*2023-12-16*

App stopped working. Every round my handicap stayed the same. And was not able to send email to Corey
