Before Your Round
From the Play Golf tab, search for your golf course and tap the blue Play Golf button once you find it.
On the first screen, you can choose general round details such as the number of holes (9 or 18), the round date, the game format, whether scores should be tracked, whether the round should count for handicap purposes, and whether the round will be visible to your followers.
If you only want to view distances without keeping score, enable the GPS Only toggle (turn it blue).
The second screen is dedicated to you and your friends. Here, you can customize the leaderboard name, share the round via link or QR code in multiplayer rounds, add Side Games, create groups, and confirm your Handicap and Playing Handicap.
To select your starting Tee, tap your photo or avatar.
During the Round
On the hole map, you will see the Tee position, the center of the green, and the distance to it in the top-right corner. You can also drag the target icon around the map to check distances to any point on the hole.
By default, the target is placed where the app estimates your first shot is most likely to land.
If you have a Premium or Intelligence subscription, you will also see Plays Like distances on the left side of the screen.
The bottom bar displays the hole Par and Stroke Index. Tap it to jump to any other hole on the course.
On the right side of the map, you will find several icons that give access to different features depending on whether you are using the Free, Premium, or Intelligence plan.
To keep your scores shot by shot, use the Shot Tracker. Find instructions here.
Add Scores
After finishing a hole, swipe left or tap the Right Arrow ( > ) on the bottom bar to add your scores and stats.
In Total Strokes, enter the total number of strokes it took to finish the hole.
Then, add how many of those strokes were:
- Putts
- Sand Shots
- Penalties
Use the Fairway icons to track your Driving Accuracy.
For multiplayer rounds, scroll down to add your friends' scores.
After the Round
Once you finish your round, tap the bottom bar and then select Finish Round to save your round and review your scorecard and round stats.

On the Performance tab, you can review, edit, or share your rounds at any time. Tap Rounds to see the full list of saved rounds, then select a round to open the Round Summary.

Notes
-
If it's your first round
Make sure you have already entered your Handicap and updated the My Bag section with your clubs and the distances you usually hit with them.
-
Pick Up
Available in Stableford rounds when you decide not to finish a hole, usually due to too many strokes.
In Match Play rounds, it can also be used when another player has already won the hole with a better score. -
Select Your Starting tee
Before starting your round, you can choose your preferred Tee colour or course format from the second Round Settings screen by tapping your photo or avatar.
You can also change it during the round from the Settings icon on the hole map, or later by editing the saved round.
Some courses may display an M or L next to the Tee colour: M = Men and L = Ladies.
