"I admit I was skeptical, but ParPoints is a blast!" – Alan Shipnuck / Fire Pit Collective Join the new golf scoring revolution, where you choose the position on each hole you think you can score par from and score points when you shoot par or better. There are no penalties for bogeys or worse, so you can enjoy more of the shots that keep you coming back to the course—and less of the shots that make you want to throw your clubs in the river. "ParPoints is one of the most exciting golf ideas to come along in a long time." – Randy Syring / PGA Pro Set personal records, earn bag tags for special accomplishments, and compete against your friends with live group scoring. With access to over 38,000 courses around the world, load up ParPoints and head to your favorite course today, and play with anyone on any other course in real time, with a shared leaderboard. "I live in California, and I had to come all the way to the middle of Kansas to discover the most exciting thing going on in golf." – Chuck Mowrey / California golf enthusiast Looking to improve your game? Shoot par consistently from a certain distance before you move back, and watch your skills grow with your distance. This is a great approach for youth golfers, endorsed by PGA pros across the country. You can even keep score for kids without them needing an account. Setting up a tournament? Make it a ParPoints tournament to liven up the scoring and get a quick solution for a live, real-time leaderboard in everyone’s pockets. Have a regular game at your home course? Break up the monotony by playing your old holes from positions you’ve never been able to try before. "ParPoints is changing the game." – Matt Ginella / Fire Pit Collective Golf should be fun. We’re here to make sure it is. Par is possible. Go out there and get yours, with ParPoints.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Imagine Golf at 7.2K against ParPoints Golf's 48. Imagine Golf also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ParPoints Golf's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Imagine Golf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ParPoints Golf sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Imagine Golf holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imagine Golf has 7.2K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Imagine Golf's written reviews are positive against 100% of ParPoints Golf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Imagine Golf ships an update every 3 weeks, ParPoints Golf every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
