### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-13*

The positive is, it has every course.  It even has Montclair Golf Course near me, which is a dive bar with nine 50 yard holes attached.  At its best it really feels like the courses, with appropriate slopes even.

The negatives are basically everything else.  The courses look and play like giants grass fields with fairways scattered about (as opposed to OB areas).  Very generic and not accurate.  The physics are wonky, with the ball bouncing often like mad, more like it’s being shot out of a cannon.  The ball tracking tends to wildly exaggerate spin on my R10.  Balls curve like 90 degrees, it’s wild.  Under 100 yards feels like luck of the draw.

### 5/5 — Garmin app

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.8*

Works great love the new updated graphics does sometimes mess up on the driver but irons wedges and sometimes woods are very accurate

### 4/5 — Jcdky

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.8*

Other than loosing connection and freezing up it was ok

### 5/5 — Amazing golf sim app

*2026-08-01, version 1.0.8*

Home tee hero is by far the best home sim app I have used. Love the regular courses and the enhanced. So glad they added compatibility for the R10 also.

### 5/5 — Big upgrade from previous for Garmin devices.

*2026-07-08*

I had bought awesome golf previously because this app just was not good enough, with the new updates for the R10, it has completely changed everything about how I play golf on my sim. Courses are incredibly detailed and it’s honestly my fav software to play on out of all of the other big names out there. Super happy that Garmin extended this update to us R10 peeps! Can’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — R10 Rules

*2026-07-07, version 1.0.7*

HTH Gr8 Fun

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-06-21, version 1.0.5*

Need to get rid of the +3 and make options for putting. Give the distance to the hole , so I can put on my putting green. Otherwise it is a fun app

### 1/5 — App keeps freezing

*2026-06-21, version 1.0.5*

The app keeps freezing and i have to manually quit and go back into the app every swing

### 1/5 — Constantly Freezing

*2026-06-20, version 1.0.5*

Cant enjoy a seamless experience because the app freezes every single hole - was totally fine before they separated it from the Garmin Golf App.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-06-19*

The new app is an amazing upgrade over the last time i had a membership 3 years ago. Good work Garmin!! now, if you could make the 2 gimmie rings configurable, you’d get 6 stars 😁
