Use Augmented Reality (AR) to visualize the course in real time and quickly find the green, even when it’s out of sight. With Siri Shortcuts, you can control key actions hands-free while you play.
Augmented Reality (AR)
1. Open Hole19 and start a new round.
2. When the hole map appears, tap the AR icon (cube on the right side).
3. Point your device toward the course to: See the direction to the green > View distances to the front, middle, and back of the green > Better understand doglegs and blind shots
4. Move your phone slowly to scan the surroundings. You can rotate 360° to see distances and direction overlaid around you.
5. Tap the AR icon again to return to the flyover view.
