Using an iPhone as a Golf GPS? Who would have thought? Actually, that’s the first thing that came into my mind when I heard about iPhone’s GPS capabilities. Golf GPS devices are very useful but they often cost as much as an iPhone. Thanks to the power of iPhone SDK, various companies have developed Golf range-finders and GPS that can be used by all golf fans who own an iPhone. These apps may be costly, but they don’t cost as much as a regular Golf GPS.

If you are looking to save yourself some money while taking your golf game to the next level, here are 10 Golf GPS iPhone applications worth trying:

Golfshot – Golf GPS: a great Golf range finder for iPhone. You get 15,000+ courses that are mapped with this app. In addition, GPS Aerial view is provided as well.

  1. I tried almost all the ones that you talked about and I clearly prefer OhMyGolf. The maps with distance are so very cool, much more easy to read than a satellite image, although I’d like to have a satellite image too… the other thing about the maps is that you can ask for your course to be drawn, and the OhMyGolf dev team actually drew a course for me in less than a day. and the way to take sore is so much more easy than anything else. When you’re playing you just don’t want to have to tap 40 times on the screen at each hole, just to take score.

    They could do better on a few things, most notably, they should be able to take more info like whitch club I used and where did I shoot, hit tracking… for more statistics. i asked them about it and they said they were going to do it in the near future. We’ll see. In the mean time, I’m really pleased with it

    Cheers,
    John

  2. Great list, much appreciated…I would like to see the prices as well but I guess I can do that part myself since you’ve already supplied this much information. I’m constantly looking for new apps to make my score tracking as simple as can be so i can concentrate on my game.

  3. I’m the developer of QuickYardage, a new iPhone rangefinder app.. It was designed to be a simple, functional rangefinder that did not have feature bloat that lead some other apps to be confusing and expensive.

    It does not use a course database, which sometimes doesn’t have the course you need, or even worse, has out-of-date markers that give you the wrong distance.

    It will also work even when GPS accuracy is not great (you can bypass GPS altogether).

    Heres’ the link to the app in the iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickyardage/id370844874?mt=8

    And here’s the Facebook page for it:
