About

Flagstick

Read full description

Flagstick is a golf GPS rangefinder that does the one job you actually want on the course: tell you how far it is. Every distance in the app is free. Every yardage is free. No account, no social feed, no ads. DISTANCES THAT MEAN SOMETHING • Front, centre and back of the green, measured along your line of play — so an approach from the side doesn't under-read the front edge. • Distance to the pin itself on courses that have one surveyed. • Carry and clear yardages for every bunker and water hazard still ahead of you. Ones you've already walked past are filtered out. PLAYS LIKE Uphill, downhill, into the wind, cold morning, desert altitude — Flagstick works out what the shot actually plays like and shows you every part of the calculation, so you can see where the number came from and disagree with it if you want. YOUR CLUBS, NOT AVERAGES FROM STRANGERS Mark your ball, walk up to it, tap the club you hit. After a few swings Flagstick knows what you really carry with each club and starts suggesting one. It uses the median of your recent shots, so a single topped drive doesn't move your numbers. A TRADING CARD OF YOUR ROUND Take a photo at the course and Flagstick prints it onto a golf trading card with your name, the course and your score, in three different card faces. Share it in a text message like a real card. There's no feed to post it to and nobody else to follow. BUILT FOR THE DESERT 48 Coachella Valley courses are already inside the app — Indian Wells, PGA West, Desert Willow, Terra Lago and more. Open it on the first tee with no signal and it just works. Courses anywhere else in the world can be added by name or from where you're standing, and once downloaded they work offline too. ALSO IN THERE • Auto hole advance when you walk onto the next tee • Scorecard with optional fairways, greens in regulation and putts • Round history with your card from every round PRIVACY Your location is used only while a round is open and never leaves your phone. There's no account to create, nothing is uploaded, and there's no analytics or tracking of any kind. Course data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database License. Weather and elevation come from Open-Meteo. Yardages are GPS estimates, typically accurate to within a few yards. They're a guide, not a substitute for your own eyes. FLAGSTICK PRO Every yardage — front, centre, back, the pin and hazard carries — is free, forever. Flagstick Pro is $39.99 per year and adds plays-like distance, your learned club distances and club suggestions, your full record and personal bests, and every trading-card face plus your scorecard as a shareable card. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
