I’ve only played 5-6 rounds with my new Garmin S60, but I totally dig it. I love having yardages in my wrist at all times, so I don’t have to pull out my phone or scope every time I need a distance. It also syncs really nice and gives you a great visual overview of your round on your smart phone (Garmin Golf app). I have 58 y/o eyes, so was a little curious how I would read it w/o readers, but it’s fine for me. Couple minor drawbacks: Plenty of juice for one full round. Touch & go on that second round, though. I keep a battery brick in my bag, just in case. Also, you can zoom in a little and check yardage on that bunker or Creek, but it’s a little clunky for that. Not a smoothe pinch in/out for zoom. All in all, definitely a good purchase. BTW, I think you can get pretty much the same yardage functionality with Garmin’s more basic models for a cheaper price, but I was happy to pay more for the upgrade to Approach S60.

I use multiple Garmin golf devices, S62 Golf watch, R10 Launch Monitor and C10 club sensors for in game data collection. There are LOT of opportunities for these product lines to integrate into the Garmin golf app for much better data collection and followup analysis. Other applications such as 18 Birdies and Golf Shot are advancing technology in terms of player performance for game improvement. 1. Strokes gained per round. Garmin Golf doesn't provide that information. It uses averages over 10 rounds. 2. Strokes gained for specific clubs. Garmin Golf bunches shots into Drives, Approach, Chips and Putts instead of strokes gained by club. I would like to know which club or range of clubs I should work on. 3. In round GPS overview using the phone is far far behind the other golf apps. One can't look at distances for possible shots. That information is available on the watch but that can be cumbersome. Additionally, the overlay is a 'cartoon' graphic where other apps use photos with more details. Overall, while I using the multiples Garmin devices where I do like the concept of a centralized app to collect all my data, this application is in need of a complete redesign to keep up with the competitors.

I’ve been using the Garmin S20 for the better part of year, a friend told me about the Garmin Golf app within the last couple months, I feel like an idiot for not having been using the app along with the watch the entire time. It does a great job of journalizing your rounds, tracking stats and even calculating your handicap. I play 4 times a week, so I’ve developed a large sample size, the app let’s me know how far I hit each club, it tracks historical data where you can look up every shot you’ve played on a single hole over a period of time and it has greatly improved my course management and my overall scores. Great job keeping it simple and user friendly, even old people should be able to figure it out!! Lol

It may work better if all clubs had the CT 10 accessories. However, I don’t feel you should need them to be able to get semi-accurate shot statistics. For example, I accidentally put that I hit a 3 wood off the tee. When I went in to look at the round, I noticed that I hit the 3 wood button. I updated that to my driver, but it still shows that drive as the average for my 3 wood. I hit the ball nowhere near the average 3 wood totals in the app. I have several clubs like that now, but Garmin uses your last 10 rounds, so it will be on there for awhile. No way to manually update it. I really wanted the help of this functionality to tell me how far that I’m hitting each club. It isn’t valuable with all the skewed data. Since the CT 10’s connect directly. They would probably help with this, but I’m not ready to spend that kind of money until the app gets a bit better tracking.The watch is fantastic and functional. GPS works great and the features are first rate. I will keep uploading to Garmin Golf just in case it gets better in the future, but at the moment this isn’t helpful.

I have been using this app along with my s42 and T10 for than 6 months. So, when it works it’s fine. But, I can’t never get by not editing every round I played. It’s impossible and It’s very FRUSTRATING when it miss track which shot is played at which hole. I often need to spend nearly an hour edit it if only it is allowed. Every once a while it will record all the shots from two or three holes I played in one. So I will have 10+ shots recorded in one hole, and there is not a single way I can change those shots that’s miss recorded to the correct one. They have the gps coordinates why can’t I’ll it just let me move it to the other hole??? The miss shots diluted statistic so I will have to exclude the whole round from the data. I just wish they can add a few more features in the post round edit. I am pretty sure many people have experience the exact same thing I have and they would definitely appreciate it. Anyway, I don’t even know if they read this stuff. I hope some day they will get to it…..

I just purchased S62 watch and was excited to see all the data it could gather for my game. Garmin is supposed to be the best in the business when it comes to GPS and data and I had not heard much from golfing community what the Garmin Golf app was like. I used the app for first time yesterday and was dumbfounded how bad and basic it is compared to what is available now from competitors such a grint, 18birdies, shotscope, etc. While the data points are there and is presented in a decent interface. It could be so much better organized and even more data can be extracted and provided. The actual on course map when you play is not interactive at all and it looks like cartoon! This is crazy, this app does not reflect Garmin quality at all. I’m going back to using the grint app for on course GPS map and using the Garmin watch for data shot tracking/analysis. But this pretty much burned any possibilities for purchasing additional Garmin products in the future.

I really like this app. The interface with my garmin watch are good. Not great, but it works. Distances are a bit off and not completely sure which way. And I’m talking about tee distances that I hit my driver. The course distances are solid. But sometimes I hit a drive and it tracks to the ball. I see the number. But when I review my round; I have a different number. Sometimes more. Sometimes less. I don’t really care about that really. My point of having this is to play on the course. It works well for that. Somehow though; I am never asked about my putts as I give my hole score. So at the end of my rounds; I have no putts recorded. Not sure how to fix this. As I get better; it’s kind of important. It also doesn’t ask fairway hits or GIRs. All this should be inputted each hole. And the watch never ask for this to be imputed. Maybe you can help me with this

I like the app. It works well with my Garmin Approach S62 watch. I don’t like apps that make things hard or complex. This app along with the watch generally makes things easy including shot tracking, club performance (even without the C10 system which I also got), scoring and distance. There are a few minor issues. First it’s impossible to import anything from other apps, so if you are switching you either have to enter manually or start over. Second the standard club lofts are not editable. They’re all wrong for my new clubs. That seems like it should be an easy fix. Third, I used club performance tracking first and then added the C10 system. All my club performance stats seemed to get wiped out. Then the next day the came back. Not sure what happened. Other than those minor imperfections I like the app a lot. Especially for use with the watch.

I purchased the Garmin R10 launch monitor and this app is the companion to that. First, the device is wildly inaccurate. DefinitelyNOT worth the money. Any positive review must have been paid for. Second, this app looks to have been designed by a child, and not a very intelligent one. Pretty much all launch monitor software will show you almost all of the important shot data right on the screen, front and center. Not this one. You get three pieces of data. Now, you can choose which three, but come on. Three is a joke. Especially when using an iPad and there is plenty of screen real estate. Garmin falsely advertises that you get to sim courses for free where other launch monitor charge. That’s b.s. You get a one week free trial, then you have to pay. None of which you can do from their app. All there app is, is a launch pad into all the other apps from third parties, aside from the feeble driving range app. That one is all on Garmin’s head.

I like the app and will give 5 stars once this glitch is addressed. I’ve had my Approach 20s for two weeks now and have played around 10 rounds with it. I’ve enjoyed the watch and app when they’ve worked together. However, my last 3 rounds, while saved in the watch, did not migrate to the GGolf app. First of all, I’d like to see my score from yesterday as I didn’t keep it on a card. At this point that whole round is gone. Secondly, I’d like to see where I need to improve. A handy feature when the watch and app work well together. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I’ve turned the watch off/on. Disconnected reconnected the Bluetooth. Disconnected reconnected the Garmin connect app. Tried syncing both GGarmin and GConnect app to watch several times. I get notifications from phone to watch. I see my steps and “activity”. It’s only the scorecard that doesn’t sync. Without that it makes the watch good for distances only. Which is not worth it. Please fix this issue!
