Know your game, not just your scores. Golf Score Stats turns every round into clear, personal insight, scores on your Apple Watch, and can read a scorecard for you. SCORE ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Start a round on the phone and the holes appear on your wrist. Tap in shots and putts, swipe to the next hole, swipe past the last one to finish. The phone keeps every score in step, and Finish Later parks the round on the watch until you pick it up again. SNAP A SCORECARD Adding a course takes seconds. Take a photo of the scorecard, or use a screenshot or PDF, and the app fills in every tee's yardages, pars, slope and rating for you to check. It all happens on your iPhone. Or type a name and pick the course from suggestions worldwide, complete with its location, map pin and photo. If the card has no rating, one tap fills a plausible one, and a rating that can't be right is flagged wherever its tees are picked. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR GAME On-device AI reviews each round, each course and your game as a whole, and tells you what really cost you strokes and what to work on next. Every judgment comes from your own numbers, compared with golfers at your handicap, so the advice fits you. YOUR SEASON IN GOLF A review of any stretch of rounds: scoring, handicap at the start and the end, greens and putts against the stretch before, where you improved, your best nine, your steadiest run and your most-played courses. Share it as one picture. HOW EACH COURSE PLAYS FOR YOU See whether a course plays easier or harder for you than its rating says, your good-day score from those tees, the holes that give you the most trouble, and which courses you beat your handicap on. THE STATS THAT MATTER • Your handicap, average and trend pinned at the top of the Stats tab, with one tap to filter by course, tees or dates • Official World Handicap System handicap, including 9-hole rounds, with a full history chart • A what-if that tells you the score you need next round to reach a target index • 40+ stats: putts per GIR, scrambling by par type, bounce-back and blow-up holes, front vs back nine, personal records and more • A dozen full-screen charts and hole-by-hole heat maps, with trends that show your form over a season • Per-course and per-tee breakdowns FAST ROUND ENTRY Enter scores and putts hole by hole on a big keypad with your running score pinned above. Birdies are circled and bogeys squared, just like a paper card, and each hole shows your average on it. Stop part-way and finish later. Afterwards, read the round back: its flow hole by hole, the tally of birdies to doubles, greens hit and whether it counts toward your handicap. Share a club-style scorecard as an image or PDF. ASK SIRI "Start a round in Golf Score Stats", "What's my handicap in Golf Score Stats", "How was my last round in Golf Score Stats". Your courses show up in Spotlight too. MADE FOR SIM AND REAL GOLF Built for golfers who play lots of simulator rounds, and just as good on real courses. Yards or metres, set per scorecard. Find any round by course, tees or notes. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No accounts, no servers of ours, no ads, no tracking. Your rounds and settings are backed up to your own iCloud Drive automatically, so a new phone picks up where you left off, and an iPhone and an iPad stay in step with each other. Two copies of the same player from two devices merge into one. Export and import your data any time.
