LinePlay Golf is a caddie in your pocket: live GPS distances, wind, slopes, and the line to play — on every shot. KNOW YOUR NUMBER Live distances to the green from anywhere on the hole. Tap the map to measure any target, drag your carry marker to plan the shot, and swipe hole to hole — or let GPS advance for you when you reach the next tee. PLAY THE CONDITIONS — PRO Real-time wind and elevation turn raw yardage into the number the shot actually plays. 150 yards uphill into the breeze isn't 150 — LinePlay shows what it truly plays and which of YOUR clubs covers it. READ EVERY GREEN — PRO Slope heatmaps built from USGS elevation data map each green's tilt before you step on it. See the break, pick your line, and putt with a plan. SEE THE FAIRWAY'S SHAPE — PRO Terrain heatmaps and roll arrows reveal where the fairway kicks, feeds, and gathers — so you can pick the landing spot that works with the ground, not against it. PLAN THE HOLE A strategy engine matched to your own club distances suggests tee shots and layups in three styles — aggressive, tactical, or conservative — with hazards drawn right on the map. KEEP SCORE, SEE PROGRESS Fast score entry, putts, fairways, and greens in regulation. Full round history with your scoring trends, plus per-hole handicap strokes so you always know where you're getting one. FREE VS PRO LinePlay Golf is free: GPS distances, hole maps, strategy, scoring, and stats. LinePlay Pro adds wind, plays-like distances, green reads, and fairway terrain — $4.99/month or $39.99/year after a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
