Golf Handicap

Golf GPS rangefinder, unlimited scorecards, an estimated handicap index, and an AI coach that actually reads your rounds — all in one golf app. The core golf tools are free. Go Pro only for the advanced AI coaching. Log a round, see exactly where your strokes are going, and know if you are really getting better. Most golf apps hide on-course GPS distances and handicap tracking behind an expensive subscription. We give the core away for free and offer an affordable Pro subscription only for the advanced AI coaching. FREE — EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE COURSE • GPS rangefinder — mark the green, then watch your distance to the pin update live in yards or meters as you walk the hole. Uses your device GPS and free open map data, so there is nothing extra to pay for. • Unlimited scorecards — log every hole with score, putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation and penalties. Your full round history stays on your device. • Estimated handicap index — save your rounds and watch a personal index move over time, so you can finally see whether your game is trending the right way. • Per-round and season stats — scoring average, average to par, best round, fairways, greens in regulation (GIR), putts per round and 3-putt rate. • Fast, clean interface built for one hand and bright sunlight, plus your first AI round analysis free so you can see the coach in action. AN AI COACH THAT READS YOUR GAME (PRO) This is the part other golf apps do not do. The moment a round is saved, the coach turns your own numbers into a plan: • Unlimited AI round analysis — a short, honest read of every round: where your strokes went, which misses cost you the most, and the one thing to work on next. • AI practice plans — a weekly plan built from your recent miss patterns and drawn from a library of real golf drills. No generic tips — it is grounded in your rounds. • Advanced trends — a handicap trend graph, scoring broken down by par, and tendency charts that show exactly where your game is leaking strokes. • Monthly AI trend digest — a once-a-month summary of how your game is moving. • No ads, plus one-tap CSV export of your full round history. BETWEEN ROUNDS — KEEP IMPROVING Golf is not just weekends. Log range, putting, chipping, bunker and fitness sessions, set season goals, and keep the practice engine running through the off-season — so you come back to spring sharper, not rusty. PRO — ONE SIMPLE SUBSCRIPTION Go Pro monthly or annually to unlock the full AI coach, advanced trends and CSV export. The annual plan is the best value, and you can cancel anytime — the free core golf tools stay free either way. AN HONEST NOTE ON YOUR HANDICAP The index this app calculates is an estimate for personal tracking only. It is NOT an official handicap, and this app is not affiliated with the USGA, WHS or any golf-authority handicap body — the number cannot be used for tournament or league eligibility. It is built for the majority of golfers who simply want to know, honestly, if they are improving. GPS distances are estimates from your device and free open map data, not a certified laser rangefinder, so please do not rely on them in competition. Log a round, see where your strokes are really going, and let the coach tell you what to practice next. Download Golf Handicap Tracker and go play your best golf.
