ACCURATE YARDAGES ON 7,584 COURSES • Greens, bunkers, water and fairway edges from OpenStreetMap. Real geometry, not sketches. • Front, centre and back yardages that update as you walk • Elevation from USGS terrain data • Works offline: the course you're playing is on your phone before you tee off THIRTY FORMATS Stroke, Stableford, Skins, Nassau, Wolf, Best Ball, Vegas, Sixes, 2-2-2, Hammer, Bingo Bango Bongo, Garbage, and Criers & Whiners, plus Match Play, Scramble, and more. Pick a format, tee off and enter scores hole by hole. Live standings show where the match stands after every hole. Play with your group, or solo. YOUR GROUP • Your crew and a league table • Head-to-head records against the people you actually play • A private feed only your group can see ON YOUR WRIST • Apple Watch app with front, centre and back yardages for the hole you're on • Enter scores from your wrist • Start a golf workout on the watch to save the round to Apple Health HONEST BY DESIGN If we don't know a number, we don't show one. A hole with no par isn't scored against a guessed par. Where data is missing, Foursomes Golf says so instead of filling the gap with something plausible.
