About

Golf Range Sim

Read full description

■ Every range ball becomes a shot on the course Hit a ball at the driving range, enter what it did, and the ball flies exactly that way on a virtual golf course. Distance, left/right miss, trajectory height — that is all you enter. The course does the rest. "Where would that one have finished on a real hole?" Now you know, on every ball. Bucket practice becomes a round of golf. ■ Simple to enter - Distance: set it with a slider - Left/right: enter the start direction and the curve separately - Trajectory: low, normal or high You can also switch to a simple mode and pick "right, small" by feel. Yards or metres, your choice. ■ Four courses - Sunrise Country Club (Par 72, 6,392 yards) Tree-lined parkland. Start here. - Riverside Golf Club (Par 60, short course) Ponds and a river. A quick round when time is short. - Alpen Ridge Country Club (Par 70, hard) Mountain golf. Big elevation changes, ravine and water carries. - Ocean Cliff Links (Par 72, hardest) Seaside links. The ocean is in play on every hole, and on some it runs down both sides. 72 holes in total, each with back, regular and forward tees. ■ Reading the hole - See the hole in 3D from behind the ball as you choose your line - A course map shows the layout, out of bounds and 100/150/200 yard markers - An orange pole marks your carry, adjusted for wind, slope and your current lie - On uphill and downhill holes a "plays like" distance shows what you actually need - Green view shows the slopes and the exact distance to the pin ■ No putting Once you reach the green, the number of putts is decided from the distance to the pin. You can tune the one-putt distance in Settings to match your own game. ■ Records and analysis Every round is saved automatically. - Average score, best score, greens in regulation - Handicap, calculated from your last 20 rounds - Measured club distances, with a prompt to update your settings when they drift - Directional tendency per club — whether you miss right or left - Score trend over time Analysis is generated on your device. Your records are never sent anywhere. Scorecards can be exported as an image, free of charge. ■ Who it is for - Golfers who practise often but rarely get on a course - Anyone bored of hitting balls with no target - Players who want to know their real club distances - Working out a strategy before a round ■ Pricing Two courses (Sunrise and Riverside) are free, with no limits. The paid courses (Alpen Ridge and Ocean Cliff) can be played with: - A round ticket: one 18-hole round - A half-round ticket: one 9-hole round - The paid plan (monthly): unlimited play at no extra charge The paid plan also removes ads and adds shot redo, unlimited round history, detailed analysis, pin difficulty and wind control. ■ Also - iCloud backup, so your records follow you to a new device - No account required - iPad supported ■ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Terms of Use (EULA) https://fukusefeb-dev.github.io/golf_practice_simulation_legal/terms.html Privacy Policy https://fukusefeb-dev.github.io/golf_practice_simulation_legal/privacy.html The paid plan is an auto-renewing subscription.
