About this app

Add another level of fun and competition to your game with the free Garmin Golf app. Download it to your phone to compete with your friends and fellow golfers. Each round can take on a tournament feel on any of more than 40,000 courses worldwide.

When paired with a compatible Garmin device, the Garmin Golf app lets you track your golf game in several ways. Some Garmin devices allow you to upload scorecards in real-time directly through the Garmin Golf app. Other devices require uploading your round through the Garmin Connect app on your phone or Garmin Express on your computer, and then you can review leaderboards and stats in Garmin Golf. (Refer to https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/590068#devices for a list of compatible devices.) You can also receive smart notifications and respond to notifications from some compatible Garmin devices that are paired with the app.

If you don’t have a compatible Garmin device, you can still use the app to participate in weekly leaderboards and tournaments by entering your score manually. Players can also set up their own tournament events, invite multiple friends to compete and live chat with one another during the events.

Garmin Golf needs SMS permission to allow you to receive and send SMS text messages from your Garmin devices (1). We also need call log permission to display incoming calls on your devices.

Ratings and reviews

It a horrible experience. We were so excited to use this app for our yearly family golf retreat. We ensure that all setting were correct. We could only see a few players. Then it started freezing up and was very annoying. When you clicked the leaderboard it would open up. Which why we were using this app. We even install and reinstalland that didn't help. It was happening on both Android phones and iPhones. So incredibly disappointed.

The app is ok though the graphics are pretty low grade, but there are a lot of courses. However the fact that it doesn't fit to screen for larger formats like a tablet is an absolute joke. The app has been out forever and at $10 a month you'd think I'd be able to stream it to a tv and have it fit.

r10 launch monitor has an advertised margin of error of 5 yards, but it seemed more like 20. Shots that are seen missing left are reported as missing right. Data says path and face angle are to the right, but the ball flew a draw path, meaning the data is useless. App has difficulty staying connected to monitor when switching between modes. Home Tee Hero somehow can't register the same launch data from the driving range mode and reports shots as hit along the ground. A complete waste of money.
