Review summary

Users find the Golf Canada app useful for basic stroke play scoring and GPS maps during golf, but widespread issues hamper the experience. Frequent crashes, poor GPS accuracy, inability to edit or save rounds reliably, and loss of detailed hole-by-hole stats frustrate players. The forced per-hole score entry and lack of historic score management are major pain points. While some like the updated design and features after reinstalling, most wish for improvements such as restoring detailed stat tracking, better stability, editing options, and improved GPS functionality.

Pros

GPS feature providing course maps during play
Stroke play scoring functionality is good
App has an organized design and decent overall scoring capabilities
The new look and features are liked by some users after reinstall
Ability to post total scores (though limited) is present

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes and bugs, including Home button issues
Poor or broken GPS functionality, inaccurate course locations and delayed updates
Inability to edit rounds or make changes mid-round (e.g., changing holes from 18 to 9, adding players)
Loss of detailed hole-by-hole stat tracking (putts, GIR, fairways, ups/downs, etc.) and media options
Forced input of hole-by-hole scores without option to enter total score quickly
No clear handicap history or stats graphs, and limited filtering options for stats
Inconvenient login prompts and sometimes problematic saving of rounds
Lack of ability to manage clubs or create a personalized bag in the app

2024-10-13	Jo*****	Stat tracking terrible. Older version of inputting scores and stats much better and faster to input. Please return stats to hold by hole score input as an option.

2024-10-12	Br*****	There's a Home button bug that's been there for years now. After you post a score, the Home button does NOT take you back to Welcome screen so you can review your friend's latest scores and such. Instead, it acts just like the Profile button. The workaround is to kill the running Golf Canada app and restart it to see the Welcome screen.

2024-10-09	Da*****	What happened to the details per hole (gir, fairway, putts etc...) and the option to Media???

2023-10-21	Pa*****	Edit: Was seamless and very organized before the update over the summer of 2023. Please don't change the whole look for no reason. Or, at least offer a classic look setting to have a choice. As well, current issue on my android is that no round saves or updates an edit. It always says error but then sometimes actually saves one or several times in duplicate, or just never saves. A total number of putts stat in each round and also overall starlt of putts per round would be a nice update

2023-08-12	El*****	Fails regularly. Works occasionally. Very frustrating Tried the updated version. Crashed every time I tried to use it. Update as of spring 2022. Still crashes and freezes. GPS is all over the place and unusable. Update as of summer 2023. Cannot access app. Freezes up upon opening with a message about privacy.

2023-06-17	Ke*****	The login issue is fixed, thankfully. I don't even mind the ads, they aren't too bad. The issue is the GPS. I'm not sure whether it's fine or course (assuming the later) but the GPS doesn't update quickly enough. I find myself waiting to tak a shot and the GPS is jumping all over the map. Par 3s are annoying because you can't move the center aim for carry distances. The stroke play scoring is great.looking to test out skins game.not being able to enter playing partner rounds isn't good.

2022-05-31	Ne*****	Updated thoughts: Only 2 improvements i can think of are including stableford scoring (using hdcp,) and showing net par per hole is while playing and on the screen card using my handicap. Playing an entire round and not being able to see how it compares to my hdcp until the very end is frustrating. This may not be a problem for established golfers, but for someone near to the game it could be done to better encourage positive play. Otherwise great app.

2022-05-24	C *****	App was great however lately on occasion it suddenly is jumping around from hole to hole with wrong scores showing. Has only happened a couple times but concerning as it never did this before. Overall good app. Wish you could change to 9 holes from 18 if you stop early it's difficult to do. Most features work good otherwise

2021-10-12	J *****	GPS features appear to be broken. Keeps ramming Toronto courses down my throat as 'nearest courses' despite my never having been east of Winnipeg. Yes, my gps is enabled for this app. The map constantly centers on Toronto making it difficult to use for someone in BC. Perhaps everything else works fine, I don't know because I didn't even enter a score due to it's ridiculous lack of function.
