The iPhone app is free for good: unlimited rounds, GPS, the scorecard and your history. No trial clock, no ads, no round limit.

  • Front, center and back

    GPS distances to every green on one line, with the one you play on biggest. Tap the fairway to drop a layup target.

  • A proper scorecard

    Up to four players on one card, birdie rings and bogey boxes, notes if you want them. Share it to the group chat as an image.

  • 21,000+ courses

    Search any course, download it, pick your tee: yardages, pars and handicaps for every tee on the card.

  • History that stays yours

    Every round kept, with the tee, the rating and slope, and your notes. Yards or meters, your call.

  • No account needed

    Open the app and play. Sign in with Apple later if you want your rounds backed up and on your watch.

Simplify Golf Pro

Your wrist, your Lock Screen,
the hazards.

Pro is the round beyond the phone screen. Your first round includes all of it, so you decide after you've played, not before.

  • Apple WatchPro

    Distances and scoring on your wrist, synced with your iPhone. Start a round from the watch and leave the phone in the bag.

  • Lock Screen scoringPro

    Enter every score without leaving your Lock Screen, or from the Dynamic Island. The round lives where you can reach it.

  • Hazards and doglegsPro

    Carry distances to the bunkers, the water and the corner, listed under the green numbers, plus a caddie note for the holes that need one.

  • Offline mapsPro

    Course imagery saved on your iPhone before you leave the house, for rounds without a signal. The GPS never needed one.

  • StatisticsPro

    Rounds played, scoring averages and your best scores across your history, from completed 18-hole rounds.

  • Handicap estimatePro

    A World Handicap System style estimate from your last twenty rounds. An estimate, always labelled as one, until you post officially.

Questions

Before you download.

Is the app really free?

Yes. Unlimited rounds, GPS distances, the scorecard, course downloads and your history are free on iPhone with no time limit and no ads. Pro is an optional subscription for the watch, the Lock Screen, hazards, offline maps, statistics and the handicap estimate.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play as a guest from the first launch. Sign in with Apple when you want your rounds backed up, synced to a new phone or shown on your Apple Watch.

Which watches work?

Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later, paired with an iPhone on iOS 18 or later. The watch shows distances and takes scores on its own; you can also start a round from the wrist.

Does it work without a signal?

GPS distances work anywhere once a course is downloaded, no signal needed. Pro also keeps the satellite map for courses you save for offline use.

Is my course in there?

The database covers 21,000+ courses with GPS and tee-by-tee yardages, and the app lets you report anything that looks wrong from the hole itself. Fixes publish to everyone.

Is the handicap official?

No. It is an estimate that follows the World Handicap System method, labelled as an estimate in the app. Post your scores with your golf association for an official index.

How does the Pro trial work?

Your very first round includes every Pro feature, no trial needed. After that, the annual plan starts with a 14-day free trial; the monthly plan has none. Both renew through the App Store and can be cancelled from your Apple ID settings.
