Best iPhone Golf GPS App?


Recommended Posts

I'm currently trialling Swing By Swing GPS and it's good, really good! Of course you don't get the "elite" functionality without a subscription but as a free GPS it's great so far.

I upgraded to the "looper" level and am happy with it.  For what you pay it works great.

Golfshot

don't buy the golf scape it's not worth it - doesn't centre when using and I find that the markers for yardages are off! Battery life is garbage iPhone will be dead by the time the round is done BUT good at keeping scores, stats on GIR FIR etc so you know where you are struggling.

GolfCardGPS paid version for $3.99.  Recently downloaded the now Shotly app and looking forward to trying it this weekend.  Looks pretty good (the free version).  Anyone try it yet?

Hi, Hugh here.

I have tried a few different apps ... GolfShot, Swing U, Golf GPS and VPAR.

I am currently using an iPhone 6s with these apps and cannot recommend VPAR highly enough. It is by far and away the best of these apps. The GPS feature is very accurate although it does not always get the tee positions correct when switching between Black, Blue and White markers but this deficiency is easily overcome by using the ball position marker on the location of the tee box. It has several excellent features and the scorecard is easy to use.

The only thing I really need is a suitable cradle to hold my iphone on my clicgear 3.5+ cart which does not involve using the umbrella holder as these 2 accessories need to be used in tandem to see the screen clearly when used in sunny conditions. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Hugh here as well. Hello from Florida.

I like Golfshot as well. Although after 3 years another app would have to be unbelievable to get me to switch.

Hole 19

Another vote for Hole 19. The app can be used in an Apple Watch. I just leave the phone in the buggy and refer to the AW4 for the distances when I’m in the tee box/fairway  

I also use The Tag Heuer golf app. The graphics is better and it also provides distance readings across several areas around the green. It can also be added as a complication in the AW.

    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
