Golf GPS is a simple app. It tells distance to bunkers, water hazards, and pins. Many similar apps requires subscription (hopefully no additional cost) , or you need to build your own map ahead of time. While struggling with my terrible iron shot, I got an idea. When you play golf, you see red, white, blue yardage represents 100, 150 and 200 yards respectively from the pin. The idea was why don’t I reverse it on my iPhone screen.

It draws a map around you, and put blue pin where you are. And draw red, white, blue circle around you. Since I can add circle easily, I add three more: 50, 250 & 300 yard. For those who are familiar with meter, I add an option for you.

Those circle should be enough for most player while the app allows you to drop yardage wherever you want. Drop and drag it to a point you want, and it will tell exact distance from your location. Those yardages will be stored internally and will be displayed again until you delete it.

Pros and cons of Golf GPS app for iPhone and iPad

Golf GPS app good for

Fantastic! You can measure distance to any point such as bunker, hazard.... But please enlarge the number showing distance. It is too small to see while walking.
Nice & simple the best for free, no registration and hiden fees unlike the others
This app is for people who simply want to know distances. No extra features to get in the way such as stats, etc. The app works grerat and allows you to add your own markers. You can also remove markers by clicking on them, though it would be nice to see a remove all button. Compared to paid apps like Golf Logix, Golf GPS does what you need with no annoyances. Definitely recommend this app over all the others Ive used.
A simple effective app that does its job well. Its the only Golf GPS I ever use because it does exactly what I need it to: it shows how far away things are from my ball. One recommendation - have the cross-hairs always show the distance, so I can quickly scroll around the screen to check multiple points without having to set pins.
Would recommend this over other range finder apps. The only suggestion to improve is to allow the crosshairs to show yardage as it scrolls over areas rather than having to drop pins all over the map.
No cartoonish or artists renditions of holes, just satellite images of your exact location with circles drawn to locate distances. No bells or whistles either. But what more do you need? Just be sure to have reception where your course is, otherwise this app may be useless.

Some bad moments

The iphones GPS is not accurate enough for measuring your distances on the course. I compared Golf GPS with a telemeter, when the telemeter showed 70m, the app showed 85m, almost 2 clubs difference.
its an almost useless Golf GPS app. to install others to save ur time.
Who needs lots of bells and whistles when this wonderfully simplistic App gives you what you need quick and painless. Absolutely great.
Awesome golf tool! SImple and elegant. No BS setup , no wondering if your course is in it and no mapping. Look at the arial image and drop the marker pin where you want he ball to land....or not to land! Get distance to water hazzards, sand traps, and grass bunkers. Makes a great range finder for shooting sports too! I use it to dial in yardage on prarie dogs and to see how far away that great shot was. This app is a total winner!
Does what it is supposed to do. I downloaded this one by accident. The one my buddy was using kept changing the distance. This one was always spot on. The drop feature is really nice.
I dont usually write reviews but I must. This app is incredible!!!!! Found it just prior to tee time and soooo glad I did! Yardage was precise on every hole. No need to guess where to hit if unfamiliar with the course. Works with google maps for any course on the planet for free!! Drop a pin by bunkers or water hazards to see continual distance. I was very impresses and amazed!!! Loaded fast and instant spool up from standby on my iphone4. Great job.
