GolfStat helps you understand what is actually happening in your golf game. After each hole you record a few quick stats. After the round, the app pulls everything together into a breakdown that shows where you are playing well and where you are losing strokes. Your handicap factors into the analysis so the feedback is based on your level instead of comparing you to a scratch golfer. While you are on the course, you can use your phone's GPS to measure the distance of any shot you hit. Tap once where you are. Walk to your ball. Tap again. The shot gets logged with the club you used. After the round, the app calculates your average distance for every club in your bag, which is the kind of data you usually only get from a launch monitor. You can edit or delete any logged shot if something looked off. You can also browse past rounds, compare them, and watch your stats trend over time as you play more. Per hole tracking: Score, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, penalty strokes, sand saves, scrambling, and anything else you want to capture. Round summary: Total score, fairway percentage, GIR percentage, average putts per hole, scrambling rate, and how you played versus your handicap. Shot log: Average distance per club, longest and shortest shots, every shot from every round you logged, and a clear view of which clubs need more range time. This app is built for golfers who want real numbers on their game without spending hours typing things into a spreadsheet. Even if you only get out once a month, the data builds up over time and starts to tell you things about your game that you would not otherwise notice.

Golf Score Stats is for golfers who want more than a round log — you want to understand your game. Enter your scores and putts hole-by-hole in seconds. The app turns that data into over 40 stats and a dozen charts: your handicap (World Handicap System rules), trends over time, putts per GIR, scramble rate by par type, blow-up-hole detection, front-9 vs back-9 differentials, per-course roll-ups, hole-by-hole heat maps, and personal records — plus on-device AI summaries that read your round and tell you what to work on. Originally built for golfers who play a lot of simulator rounds, Golf Score Stats works just as well for real courses. Search any course by name to pull in location, an automatic satellite map pin, and a course photo. Track distances in yards or metres — your preference, per scorecard. Everything stays on your device — no accounts, no servers, no ads, no tracking.
