Some watches that support the Golf activity are not preloaded with golf course maps. For these watches, golf courses are downloaded, installed, and updated through the Garmin Connect app instead of Garmin Express. Once downloaded in the Garmin Connect app and added to your watch, your watch will display the 5 closest courses based on your watch's GPS location.

Although courses are downloaded individually through the Garmin Connect app instead of through Garmin Express like devices that have preloaded mapping, the course information will be identical.

Downloading Golf Courses From the Garmin Connect App

From the Garmin Connect app access the menu:
- Android: Select (Upper left corner)
- iOS: Select More (Lower right corner)
Select Download Golf Courses
Select + (upper right corner)
Search for a specific course by name
Select next to the desired course
- The course list will be based on distance from your phone's last known GPS location.

The course will now be saved in the Connect app, and is ready to sync to the watch when you are at the course. See the steps for adding golf courses to the watch for steps on transferring the course from the Garmin Connect app to your watch.
