### 1/5 — Truly awful

*2026-07-05*

Not for for purpose. An absolute disgrace of an update/app. Can’t find friends, can’t add friends, asks you to pay a guest fee when adding a friend manually. But you can’t create a general scorecard without a tee time so you either book multiple tee times (on each) or only one person can do a card. The news feature is waste of time. No one wants o use the app for that. Handicap, booking tee times and submitting scores. That’s it.

### 1/5 — Not a great app update

*2026-06-11*

The recent upgrade has made this app even worse. Search friends criteria/options are very confusing and do not work properly most of the times. Even when you manage to find one and send a friend request, the other person never receives the request although on the my app it says ‘pending request’. Next time I login to the app, ending request will have disappeared and instead add as a friend will appear against the same friend who I had added previously. There is no way adding new friends to the list😬. Absolutely useless app.

### 1/5 — Can’t see scores properly

*2026-05-25*

A strange update, which now means that I need to look at the same data, but just in a much smaller font, and takes more effort to see the only thing I need to see - my scores. 

What exactly is the point of launching an app that is worse at the one thing people use the app for. 

Please ask your USERS  what they want out of the app. No one cares about news, or adverts. They want to see their scores, and you have just taken a significant backwards step - truly baffling.

### 1/5 — Version 3.0.0 update

*2026-05-22*

I’m very impressed with how bad the recent changes to the Scottish Golf app are. The previous layout made it very easy to identify your 8 counting scores at a glance, with the fully green-highlighted scores providing a clear and intuitive visual system.

The new flag-based layout feels like a significant step backwards in usability. What was once quick and straightforward to understand is now unnecessarily cluttered and harder to follow. For an app feature that many golfers regularly rely on to track their handicap, clarity and simplicity should be the priority.

I would strongly encourage the development team to consider either:

* reverting to the previous design, or
* adding an option for users to switch between the old and new display styles.

The previous version was far more user-friendly and effective.

If I could rate 0 stars I would.

### 2/5 — News is of no interest

*2026-05-20*

I’ll reserve judgment on the basic functions until I’ve used it a few times after this most recent update. The old version was shockingly bad so hopefully this will be better.
Others have commented it is difficult to see your 8 counting scores - I disagree (the green flags next to the counting scores is quite obvious). 
However I agree with others that the “news” section should be somewhere else away from the main homepage. At least let the user reorder the sections (so we can stick it down the bottom out of the way).

### 2/5 — Could be so much better

*2026-03-20, version 2.0.8*

Given that this is the main Scottish Golf app you would think that the powers that be would develop something that is intuitive, easy to navigate, with good UI and UX. This is app has none of that. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-19, version 2.0.8*

I can login to my account on the website without a problem but if I try to use the app it says the membership number and / or password are not recognised.  If I use “forgot password” the link takes me to the English golf website(!), which not surprisingly doesn’t recognise my CDH number, so a complete doom loop!

### 3/5 — Adding Friends

*2026-01-15*

Helpful to add scorecards and great that it can access all GB&I courses if a little clunky. Would be a big improvement if also allowed friends to be added on England Golf and pick friends directly when setting up a new score card.

### 1/5 — Too many ADVERTS

*2025-10-11, version 2.0.8*

Very annoying with totally unnecessary ADVERTS unrelated to golf.

### 3/5 — Lack of efficiency

*2025-09-22*

It works good for maintaining handicap but almost seems pointless linking users to friends list when scorecard doesn’t even use the list to simplify locating regular others to join on card or just be a marker. It still needs them to be searched for as it was done to add them onto the friends list. It would greatly benefit from being linked to Apple Watch as it’s annoying getting a phone out constantly when just like a golf watch you could interact with a started score care so to keep your score up to date but with a phone remaining in your golf bag.
