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.

Frustrating, doesnt work after a while..!!
Downloaded the app, it worked for a while, now i get a pop up on my iPhone saying (Geo error-204, opration could not be completed) deleted app and downloaded again. Same problem.
Is there anything else i could do? or just delete and forget it.
Brilliant app
Just been out with this and am very impressed!!!
Able to locate distances accurately to any part of the course.
Only small downside is it roams to another location before it locates to your position.
Other than having the function of keeping score/ fir/ gir etc.. It is very good.
Good but
Unless your course 3G signal available, it's useless. My club courses about 13~14 holes out of 36 are not beable to download the map.
Great idea
I gave this a try on my local course and found it particularly beneficial from 120 yards in. Very simple and does what it says on the tin!!
The only down side is it seems to sap my battery even when I return to my iPhone home screen.
poor.
its a great idea but its just not fast enough when its deciding the distance and not always working. fix and it should be really good and a good save of money:)
Great
Very accurate on the golf course, very handy when you can't find the on course distance markers, easy to understand
