Yard Buddy: Golf GPS
Yardages. Nothing else.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Front, center and back from where you stand. 19,000+ courses, no ads, works with no signal. Try it free for a month.
Yard Buddy shows you one thing: how far you are from the green.
Front, center and back, from exactly where you stand. Nothing to set up.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
No ads. Not on the course, not between holes, not ever.
Works without signal. Courses are saved to your phone the first time you open them. After that a dead zone changes nothing.
Bunkers and water. Tap the yardage for every bunker and water ahead: how far to reach it and how far to carry it.
The watch works on its own. Yard Buddy on Apple Watch is not a mirror of your phone. It holds the course itself and measures from your wrist. Leave the phone in the cart.
Say it out loud. Tap the speaker and it reads the distance, so you can keep your glove on and your eyes on the shot.
Keep score. Tap the score box and pick the number. Strokes only, kept on your phone.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick your course from the ones nearest you. Walk. The hole changes by itself as you move up the course.
COURSES
19,000+ courses with full yardages in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, Spain, South Korea, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, ZA, DK, FI, AT, CH, MX, NO, MY, TH, PT, Japan, BE and ID, and growing every week. Pick a country, then a course, or search by name, town or street.
9,000+ more courses in 180+ countries open on a satellite photo: tap the green to see how far it is.
Yards or meters, your choice.
