So I have seen these being talked about around the site, and I have decided to have a side by side comparison done. From what I have read, these are the two most popular GPS apps, and I think it would be worth knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each app compared to the other. So anyone who has used either of these, or preferably both, could give us a pros/cons list or something that compares the two, or just something you like about the one you use. Post away!

I looked into the Golfshot app and every review in the app store was 5 stars. From what I understand it works much better than you would expect considering its only $30. One person wrote he compared it with his brothers range finder and WHEN there was different results it was only by a yard or 2.

Figure out which apps have the courses you want to use... I DL'ed Airvue golf on my Iphone 4 for $10, took it out last weekend and it was ok, felt the distances were consistently 5-7 yards shorter than the distance stones and course markers were suggesting though...

I downloaded the free golflogix app the other day and I'm going to try it out today.  It's annoying with all the ad's and stuff but if i like it I will just buy the full app.

I dig on GolfLogix.First pulled it up when lacking an in-cart GPS at a course I was visiting and couldn't be happier. Great graphics, by far the most courses and some cool new features that just dropped last month. Best of all, it's free. I hear the paid membership is even better, but have yet to test it out.

Just upgraded from the free to paid app for GolfLogix and it's worth every penny! Love the new video flyover feature and the fact that you can track your club yardages and the software will average out for you to create your own yardage book. Anyone want to buy a Laser Rangefinder? I don't need it any more!

Golflogix is superior. Awesome that you can track your club yardages and the software will average out for you to create your own yardage book. Plus, the s corekeeping feature is so easy to use. Has knocked several shots off my handicap.

Both are good apps, but the new features from GolfLogix have it pulling away in my view. The changes they've made over the past year are really helpful and the app just looks great. Plus you can try it for free, can't beat that.

love that golflogix is free and the so many courses are included... keeping score is easy and helps me keep track of my game better... the aerial video and graphics are awesome... yardage is solid and reliable. recommend this for golfers looking for a good and easy addition to your game.

I think people can see that, and it's a line we won't cross.

If you want the best, you will need the iPhone with Golfshots. They both have some of the same options and arboth easy to use. I have the Droid X with Golfshots and GolfLogix and I mainly use Golfshots even though the Droid version of GolfLogix has better features. Although GolfLogix has better features, half of them make the software freeze. I get tons of crashes with GolfLogix on my Droid. I can't get through a1 round without having 3-4 crashes. Even with all the updates, mine still crashes. I have emailed them tons of times with no response. Golfshots on the otherhand for Droid does not get all the good iPhone features. It is bare in comparison to  the iPhone version. I have never had Golfshots crash though. Runs perfect every time. Once Golfshots develops a Droid version that has all the features as the iPhone, it will completely run the GPS market.

If you have any questions, let me know. I know both of them very well.

But does golflogix crash on the iphone? And what features would make you want to use golflogix more if it didn't crash?

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
