# CORE Golf vs Tee Time Trainer

Tee Time Trainer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). CORE Golf's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 15).

Both are free to download. CORE Golf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Tee Time Trainer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tee Time Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CORE Golf has 80 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 69% and 70% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
