The Trail Golf keeps all of it for central Florida's golf cart communities - every round, your stats, your trophies, the courses you've checked off. And a live leaderboard that puts your whole group on one board, so you always know exactly where you stand. Golf here is never just 18 holes. It's your weekly game with the same three friends, and the cart ride home talking about the putt that lipped out. Everything you do alone is your golf journey. Score every round, achieve accomplishments for playing, make friends and be social. Track your stats, full history, earn trophies & more. Get GPS yardages on the scorecard on mapped courses. Every local course, pre-loaded. ONE LIVE LEADERBOARD FOR EVERY COURSE IN YOUR COMMUNITY Boards are separated by tee, so a card from the forward tees is never stacked against one from the back. And it isn't a national feed of strangers. It's the people you actually play with, on the courses you actually play. Championship, executive, and pitch and putt courses, 800+ holes in total, with rated tees, real slopes, and per-hole stroke indexes. The 27-hole clubs know their rotations, so picking your two nines takes one tap and the rating is already right. No setup. Pick a course, pick a tee, start scoring. A HANDICAP THAT KEEPS ITSELF Your Trail Handicap updates from the scores you already enter, using the same World Handicap System methodology golfers know: your best 8 of the last 20, nine hole rounds handled properly, net double bogey adjustment applied. Fair games with anybody, off any tee. THE TRAIL PASSPORT Every course you play stamps your Passport. Tiers, medals, and milestones earned course by course. Every new course, every personal best, on a shelf that travels with you. BUILT FOR PLAYING, NOT FIDDLING Big buttons and high contrast, made to be read one handed in real Florida sun with a glove on. The first tap on a hole lands on par, so most holes take one tap. Scores are color coded so an eagle, a birdie, and a double read at a glance. Leave mid round and come back exactly where you were. No signal on the back nine? Scores queue on your phone and sync the moment you reconnect.
