Meet Larry, your golf coach in your pocket. Prop your phone up, hit balls, and Larry watches every swing. He tells you out loud what he sees, gives you one thing to fix, and lets you know the moment you've got it. No more guessing, no more watching ten YouTube videos before your round. LIVE LESSONS Real-time coaching from Larry. He finds the one thing costing you the most, coaches it swing by swing, and shows you a before and after when you're done. UPLOAD A SWING Already filmed your swing? Upload it, trim it to just the swing, and Larry breaks it down. See every measurement, from your posture to your swing plane, and exactly where he wants you. LEARN TO READ THE GREEN See the putt before you hit it. Point your phone at the green and OVR shows you the line, where to aim, and how hard to hit it. Learn to read greens yourself, one putt at a time. LARRY'S 5 Test your golf IQ. Five course management questions a day, the decisions that actually save strokes: which club, when to lay up, how to play the lie. Answer out loud and Larry lets you know how you did. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every lesson, every read, and every Larry's 5 adds up. See your scores, how often your reads are right, and whether your fixes are sticking.

The app UAE golf societies run on. Live scoring and leaderboards for your society, free GPS yardages on 11 UAE courses, and an AI caddie that knows your real distances. SOCIETY DAYS, SORTED Your captain posts the event; you join in one tap. Everyone scores their own card, the leaderboard updates live on every phone and on the clubhouse screen, and results go out the same evening. The Order of Merit keeps itself all season. Captains: we will run your next event, free — fairways.ae/societies. YARDAGES THAT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE Front, centre and back on every hole of every mapped UAE course, free, without leaving the scorecard. Fairways+ adds the 3D yardage book and the Smart Caddie, which suggests a club from your own measured distances rather than from a chart. SCORE ANY ROUND Stableford, stroke play, match play, scramble, betterball or a casual knock, on any UAE course. Scan a printed scorecard with the camera. Your Fairways handicap estimate (unofficial) updates when you hole out on 18 — get an official WHS handicap from the Emirates Golf Federation at egfgolf.ae. AI THAT TELLS YOU ONE THING Film one swing and the AI Swing Studio measures tempo, turn and sway on your phone — your last five clips are kept privately so you can compare — then names the one thing to work on. Finish a round and Explain My Round says where the shots went. Both in Fairways+. AND THE REST Follow your mates, give kudos, post to the feed. Join games and societies. Stamp every course you play in the UAE Golf Passport. Head-to-head and monthly challenges scored live from real rounds. MEMBERSHIP Everything that gets a society round the course is free: scoring, societies, live leaderboards, the Order of Merit, basic yardages, the handicap estimate, the feed. Every new account includes 14 days of Fairways+. Fairways+ — the 3D yardage book, the Smart Caddie, the AI Swing Studio, Explain My Round, advanced stats and your full history — is AED 29.99 a month or AED 315 a year. Founding Member: AED 199.99 a year, held for as long as you stay, for the first 250 UAE golfers, until 31 December 2026. Prices include VAT. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. Cancel anytime.

Probably the best golf app in the UAE.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fairways.ae at none against OVR Golf's 4. Fairways.ae also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
