Build a golf routine you can keep. Golf Apps brings purposeful practice, clear lessons, a scorecard, and swing video review together on iPhone and iPad, with layouts that adapt to wider displays. PRACTICE WITH A PURPOSE Choose a ready-made session or build a range, short-game, putting, or home-practice plan. Set a target, record attempts, undo mistakes, pause, and resume. Plan a series of range visits and compare a baseline with a retest. VOICE NOTES & RECAP Capture practice observations by voice or typing. Edit your session recap, choose a next step and save it in History. Dictation needs microphone permission and supported on-device speech. Track active practice from your Lock Screen. LEARN, THEN TRY IT Explore 51 lessons across 14 courses. Browse by topic and experience level, search the library, save lessons, and keep personal takeaways. Diagrams and interactive examples explain each exercise. Continue where you left off or choose a daily selection. MAKE ROOM FOR HOME PRACTICE Create a gentle putting station using a clear carpet lane and materials such as socks, a towel, or surface-safe tape. Follow a defined target and a ten-attempt task. Each setup includes equipment and safety checks. REVIEW YOUR SWING Watch the included filming demonstration, record with the full-screen camera, or import a video from Photos. Saved videos begin replaying when you open review. Step through frames, draw guide lines, bookmark clips, and compare saved videos. Follow eight guided swing exercises with clear steps and repetitions. Experimental on-device tracking can estimate swing timing and timing repeatability when usable motion is detected. You can adjust markers manually and keep the original video when tracking is unavailable. These estimates are practice aids, not a professional technique or ball-flight assessment. KEEP AN HONEST SCORE Record a 9- or 18-hole round with strokes, putts, penalties, and editable par. Keep practice and round history together and organize a club bag with optional measured carry distances. Location-based round tools depend on device permissions and available course information; the app does not offer a worldwide GPS course-map database or an official Handicap Index. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Start a round or practice, enter scores, add strokes or putts, and move between holes. Record practice attempts, undo mistakes, and finish and save a session. Scores are saved on Watch and delivered to iPhone, with a retry option when needed. Optional GPS recording and beta motion swing detection need permissions; detected swings require your confirmation, and putts are entered manually. GET GUIDANCE FROM YOUR RESULTS Guided coaching questions and practice suggestions use your recorded activity. On compatible devices with Apple Intelligence and its model available, you can ask a short free-form question in English. Guided offline coaching remains available without Apple Intelligence. YOUR GAME, YOUR CHOICE Start without an account. Apple sign-in and iCloud progress sync are optional. Keep local practice and round history, lesson notes, and your club bag. Your swing videos are processed and stored on the recording device; videos and active sessions are excluded from progress sync. Export recorded data as JSON when you choose; video files are excluded. GOLF PRO The filming tutorial and one practice session are free. Golf Pro unlocks swing recording, analysis and comparison, the full lessons and guided practice plans, and bag, progress and round insights. Choose a weekly, monthly, or yearly auto-renewable subscription. Each plan provides the same access. Prices and billing periods appear before purchase. Restore purchases in the app and manage or cancel subscriptions in App Store settings. Golf Apps requires iOS 26 or later. New learning content is delivered through app updates.
