PinHigh brings your round to life, a GPS golf app powered by an AI opponent calibrated to real published statistics, validated across 14,000+ simulated rounds and benchmarked against golf manufactures' handicap data. Play your home course. Beat the benchmark. HOW IT WORKS: Pick your course, set your AI competitor's skill level, and play hole by hole on a real satellite map. After each shot, tap AI Play and watch your opponent work the same hole factoring fairway width, tree lines, bunkers, greens, wind, and slope in real time. Every AI shot is statistically grounded. A 15-handicap misses greens the way a 15-handicap actually does. A scratch golfer scrambles the way scratch golfers actually do. This isn't a slider it's math. FEATURES: AI Opponent - Benchmark-calibrated to Arccos and tour-published stats (fairways hit, GIR, scrambling, putts per round) GPS Distance - Real-time yardage to front, center, and back of green from your exact location Shot Tracer - Watch the AI's animated shot path hole by hole on satellite imagery Scorecard - Full 9 or 18-hole scorecard with live AI vs. you scoring Pro Mode - Wind direction, speed, and slope-adjusted yardage for maximum realism Formats - Stroke play, match play, scramble, and tournament Multiple Competitors - Play against up to 3 AI opponents simultaneously, or more in Tournament Mode Course Coverage - Lincoln Park, Golden Gate Park, TPC Harding Park, Half Moon Bay Golf Links, and expanding Round History - Review every hole, score, and stat from past rounds AI SKILL TIERS: Dial in exactly who you want to beat from your Weekend Warrior to a Tour Average Player. Recreational (20 HCP) Club Player (15 HCP) Club Champion (4 HCP) Scratch (0 HCP) NCAA DI (+1 HCP) LPGA Tour PGA Tour FOR CLUBS & COACHES: PinHigh's Course Pro tier lets club professionals and chapter directors deploy a custom AI opponent calibrated to their specific course geometry. First Tee chapters use PinHigh as a practice partner between lessons, a statistically real competitor available on every hole, every day. BUILT DIFFERENT Most golf GPS apps show you the distance. PinHigh shows you what's possible. Every round becomes a competitive match against an opponent who respects the same geometry you're standing on and plays every shot the way the numbers say they should. Download free. Play a round. See where you stack up.
