I’ve used this app numerous times, since downloading it! I belong to two golf courses in Northern New York, Malone Golf Course and Highland Greens Golf Course in Brushton, New York. At Malone, the app is working great! In Brushton, the back nine are working great, however, the front nine are off by one hole! WhyGolf has been advised of the situation! The front nine shows the first hole as a par three! In reality, it’s hole number nine and the Tee Box is where the cup is located! Hole number one is actually hole number two, a par four. Each hole after that is off by one! I was able to work around it though, by posting my score on the proper hole! So far, I love the app, just waiting for the app to be updated!
Very Helpful Tool

Tons of useful information in the app. The green reading tool helped me understand how break varies based on green speed - something I’d never seen presented so simply before. It’s helped me make puts.Using the app to log my rounds provides super actionable data without being overly invasive. I learned I miss short left over 50% of the time, helping me adjust my yardage and alignment. Great app overall.

App review
MikeTheCopAsMyFriendsCallMe
I’ve been playing with the free version for a while’s decided to try the pro version. So far, I like it a lot. Primarily for layup and carry distance for hazards. The watch scoring is flawless and on the pro version, having the green map on my watch is really helpful. I would recommend this app very highly.
Very Easy and Simple to Use!
