User Reviews

GolfNow Compete is praised for ease of use and for enabling competition with friends, plus decent GPS/scorecard features. However, it suffers recurring reliability and feature issues: scores don’t save, logins fail, GPS can be unreliable, and there are gaps in game formats, GHIN integration, and Apple Watch support. These bugs and missing features hinder its long-term usefulness despite evident potential.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive interface (several reviews note it's straightforward to use and user-friendly)
Good for competing with friends and tracking round scores (positively mentioned as a core use-case)
GPS accuracy and a useful scorecard that tracks fairways, putts, and greens (praised when functioning)

Cons

Scores and round data often fail to save or are not saved after submission, leading to incomplete rounds
Login/session issues appear frequently (sessions expire or users can’t log in)
Limited game formats and missing features (no skins, match play, or teams; GHIN integration lacking)
GPS reliability problems (location services stop working or fail to load)
Lack of Apple Watch support / no watch capability currently; users want watch integration

I updated on Wednesday and played golf yesterday and like the new scoring look, however, at the end of the round upon entering my score for the 18th hole, I went to save the round and it gave me an error that it could not save. It didn’t say what the error was so I hit X at the top to see what it would do. I was able to pull up the scorecard and found out that three scores were missing including 18 which I had just entered along with holes 11 & 12. I remember seeing the total over par updating throughout the round and that appeared correct. I remember that I had to re-enter the score for 12 a couple holes later. Something is out of synch with this update. It also switched between the old scoring format and the new. I had to click on the Scores box to get back to the new format.

I love the gps feature, it knows which course I’m at. Weird that I can score putts but I cannot see what I put later after the round. Could be better!
