Garmin Watch Golf
Great watch so far every course I haves played the Garmin has given me the correct yardage
Awfu
Practice range just a black screen most of the time
Range finds
I wish that they had the yardages in the app not just on the devices
Driving range keeps failing
The new home tee hero is great, but the practice range keeps failing..screen goes dark and no shots tracked
Rarely works
This app rarely works and constantly needs to be restarted.
Garmin golf
So far been great.
Invalid Date
The app won’t accept today ‘s date as valid. “August” “09” “2026”. I can’t create an account so I can’t use the app and pair to my phone.
Needs an Apple Watch app for course scores and GPS distances
Would be nice with a lifetime pay once purchase with an addition of an apple watch app then I would buy it. I’m looking for a golf gps app for the watch and this is the closest thing. Maybe also pair with an optional small yearly fee to update courses if desired
Issue with app accuracy
I play at a course called Aroeira in Portugal. They are currently doing some works around number 2 so the course is being played in a different order for the next 2 years. The watch has updated to the correct starting hole 1 (used to be the 13th). But the app hasn’t - so when capturing scores and reviewing the scores are wrong and there for the points. Why is the watch updated properly and the app not - surely they are one and the same - please fix. Thanks
Poor code for displaying Range results
Range results: Takes several seconds to do a simple sort for something simple like clubhead or ball speed.. who wrote this bad code????
Great!
Overall great! Paired with a r10 sensor it’s a lot of fun. Not perfect but makes it fun and handy.
Trash
Game never renders. Been problem for a year and no update.
Range help
When the app is working properly, it’s a fantastic tool. It gives you serious data to help. Adjust your swing and contact. Unfortunately the device sometimes stops working and like most Garmin products. The charging system is very old-school using micro USB. Unfortunately in Hawaii in a marine environment, all of my previous Garmin watches and bike equipment, charging system rust out. I won’t use Garmin again after this stops working. Otherwise it’s fantastic.
Disappointed
I’ve been using the app for well over a year and am left with nothing but disappointment. My watch (Approach S70) is a great lifestyle watch but when it comes to golf it is a huge let down. Forget any reasonable stats on chipping or putting unless you have sensors. No allowances for positional or recovery shots where you may be playing to get back into play thus falsely showing info on club distances. The app falls well short of the data provided its competitors. I also have the Garmin laser finder and there is often big distances shown on the watch/app.
Script Size
I notice recent update has some nice features. Eg 3d and expand view so you can actually now see teeing positions clearly. However the script size really small, and does not expand with expanding view. Was this actually ever tested with a focus!! group? Another item. When I used Garminconnect first a few years ago, golf rounds showed on Calender, colour coded with other activities. I liked beiing able to go to one place and see all activities, swim , gym, golf.Any prosect of returnig to that?
Best Purchase in a Long Time
I’ve tried numerous apps. Some with sensors, and some without. I don’t want to carry a range finder. My friend had a garmin golf watch and I was relying on him when we played together. I bought the S44 and it is perfect for my needs. Great watch for golf.
What is the purpose of this app?
Have a garmin instinct and Apple Watch. This app has zero functionality for my Apple watch to keep score, distance etc.
Would be great if the hole by hole score could load directly to GHIN and Golf Canada.

Why can’t garmin stop my s70 from disconnecting?
When I’m in the middle of golfing, I go to check the wind and it keeps saying unable to connect to Golf app. I have to restart the app and the wind will show again for an hour and then it happens again. I have tried giving my location full access not just when using the app, but the issue still happens. This started after updating the app months ago. Before then, it was working fine for about a year as it was happening before that. Garmin, please work on this issue. This is a $700 watch. The watch is great app functionality not so much
Eh
My biggest problem with this app is that it doesn’t seem to automatically identify statistical outliers for yardages. For example it claims my max drive is 450 yards - and I think the only way to fix this myself would be to scrub through every single hole to find where it thinks this happened and deleting that shot. It’s really frustrating that garmin can’t identify obviously wrong data and omit it from stats. Would LOVE to see this improved.
Good app
I like the app overall it helps recall the round.
Hot garbage
The companion app for a $500 launch monitor just displays a black screen instead of the practice map and distance tracking doesn’t work.
Delete and Reinstall
Was working great until the last update. Lots of bugs after update but I deleted and reinstalled and it’s back to normal. App is decent for tracking scores. My watch doesn’t pick up every shot I hit so tracking is a bit unreliable. It would be good if the app could break down your performance on each hole on each course.
Stats
When mid round and checking the app due to the wind missing the scores are all so missing on some holes
Great… when it works
Love it for using with my R10, but I have to uninstall it and reinstall it about every other driving range session because of black screen. Annoying! Fix it!
Bama Boyz Golf
Best accessories for play golf. Love it!!!!!
Black Screen
Black screen at the driving range when using R10
Easy to use golf app
Easy enough to use to track score but used in combo with a Garmin watch and sensors such as CT10 and it becomes quite the powerhouse for golf tracking. No sub required as watch and trackers are optional and represent the bulk of the cost. The CT10 and app will track location of clubs and map whereabouts on course. The watch and CT10 will record club, distance, location and score data. After the round the watch syncs to app and displays each hole, club and distance. App provides more metrics when playing the same course multiple time and club stats which are useful and free. It does not provide as much details as Accros but it is a good trade off. CT10 batteries can be swapped out when required.
Hard to use
Not an easy process
Practice display goes black?
Anyone else having trouble with the practice field image going black? I’ve cleared my default browser history and website data, reinstalled the app, and made sure I have 100% battery. Just started happening after the last update…
Heading in the wrong direction
Flawless app for soo many years. Loved it. Recently, been a pain in the U KNOW WHAT !!! Biggest issue now is how it doesn’t tally up your total fairways, GIR’s and putts. I did get it to work couple weeks ago by going into the settings deleted the downloaded course I played and refreshed the scorecard and the totals popped up. Need to do it after every round tho. Before that, the app wouldn’t keep the recorded putts I entered during my rounds. Would have to enter them manually when I got home. Had to start using a card again so I wouldn’t forget. Lately been having sync issues with my S70, latest update now’s requires so May “clicks” to fix mistakes made on the course ( club selection, missed inputs, shots that didn’t register). Too many drop downs, wheels, and selections now. I’ll never understand why “TECHIES” just don’t leave alone what isn’t broken. Please Garmin, don’t let me start looking elsewhere for my golf stats toys. Please fix. PLEASE !!!!
Black screen
I keep getting a black screen and the course won’t load. Very frustrating and makes my R10 unusable
Watch GUI
Watch GUI is difficult
What happened?
Used this app for years but now find my 9 holes scores don’t show up on the scorecard & neither do putting stats or GIR … really poor .. sort it out garmin asap please
Lost watch can’t enter total score
I would love to continue using this app, but I lost my watch. Until I find it I cannot enter my total score if I have forgotten to enter it whole by hole on the course. It is so annoying.
Outstanding value
This device is so much fun! Paired with the awesome golf app on an iPad at the range you get instant feedback with all the relevant stats.
Venue X1 Unusable
Purchased the X1 worked great until last update. App is unusable. Crashes before round is over loosing ALL data. Watch has to be restarted then you run the chance of loosing data again. Garmin has been aware of the issue for 6 weeks and still have not fixed the issue. Selling my X1 if anyone is interested.
Room for growth
Should be able to track the hole and greens from the app. Does not follow you on the app in course view and green contours don’t work even tho I am a member..works on the watch. Should be able to see on app where you are and far to go to green or layups.
Thought it was better.
I’ve used other golf apps like The Grint, so I have a good benchmark for comparison. One thing I genuinely like about the Garmin Golf app is that, when paired with the club sensors, the shot tracking and scorekeeping work really well and feel seamless. That said, beyond those features, the app feels quite outdated. I expected much more—especially considering how much data Garmin collects during my rounds. Apps like The Grint provide far more useful insights with less manual input, while Garmin seems to underutilize the rich data it already has. There’s so much untapped potential here. With better analytics, smarter insights, and a more modern interface, this could easily be one of the best golf apps on the market. Garmin, please invest in updating this app—it has a lot more to give.
Need distances on the phone app

Recent Update
The most recent update was awesome! Better integration with my watch and keeping score. Thank you!
Driving range works 1% of the time/ Awesome golf simulator app 1000x better
Terrible app for driving range and tracking shots. You’ll be lucky if it works at all. It will either load at a black screen, load into the driving range successfully and track a few shots then go back to a black screen, or start flashing after a shot and eventually go to a black screen. I have to troubleshoot every time I want to use the garmin app and have spent 10-15 mins every time I use it. None of the solutions garmin offer work at all. I have restarted my r10 and phone, and disconnected/reconnected Bluetooth what feels like a 100 times now in the month I’ve owned it. My advice is to download Awesome Golf Simulator. It is a subscription but completely worth it if you don’t want to waste your time with the garmin app.
Scorecard and Shot Map
The latest version does not swap from portrait to landscape when in ‘View Full Scorecard’ mode - so you can view all 18 holes on the scorecard. It REALLY needs to show Stableford as well as gross and nett score once you enter a handicap. Golfers need to know both scores. Would also be much better if it showed Satellite images for ‘View Shot Map’ mode. Otherwise a great app.
Hazard stats
After last update there doesn’t seem to be any yardage to hazard screens anymore. This sucks!
Scorecard no longer has totals
The latest update 3.7 has deleted the totals in the full scorecard.
Love it!
Knowing distance of each shot, plus distance to the pin, high/low on the green has improved my game! Also helps me know my clubs better as I know how far the ball has gone! Love it!
What have you done?
This app used to work sporadically, but at least upload to Strava. Now it doesn't either it's utter garbage And apparently Garmin doesn't care. Fix it or lose a long-term customer
Just freezes since update
Following update on 5th Nov app just freezes - can no longer access any golf rounds on app - totally useless, 1 star. Update 18th Nov. Thanks Garmin, since the revised update of 15th issue now resolved - all works again, so changed review to 4 stars.
Tracking inconsistent
Putts, GIR, fairways, I enter the data on the S60 as I play. Save the round and they are blank. I get the score and shot maps. I get penalties but the count is off. Great for hands free scoring and gps distance. Not good for much else.
Scorecard Glitch
Love the Approach watch & seems accurate. Enjoy all features but after last update scorecard stopped totaling 9’s & statistics stopped displaying when trying to share with friends. Please look to fix if possible. Thanks
