Ratings and reviews

Update: My account was dormant, hence the issues I was having logging in (issue now resolved). I've only increased to 3 stars because error checking because the lack of error handling resulted in poor user experience. Aside from the initial login issues, the application seems okay. It certainly meets the requirement of posting a score. Can't get past accepting the terms and conditions. Click Agree and Continue, nothing happens. same behavior on the website.

It is nice to have but not user friendly at all. If you tilt your phone to see your scorecard the app crashes. If you click '2025 Rewind' it shows year 2024 data. It calculates handicap, and I can use it to keep score, and it has GPS for most courses. It is very useful, just too buggy. For what I pay annually to track my handicap I expect a better performing app.

Although the intent of this app is great, the course GPS is sketchy and only works at approximately 75% of the courses you play. Its frustrating to get to a course that does not provide golf cart GPS and I try to use this app and it doesn't always work.

What’s new

In this release, we made several enhancements and bug fixes to improve the GHIN app experience:

• Facial Recognition login to quickly and securely log in (on supported devices).
• Match Play scorecard enhancements allow users to view front-9, back-9, and overall results to easily track which team is ahead.
• We corrected how Playing Handicaps are calculated for Match Play games in the Handicap Calculator.
