Keeping Score With the Garmin Golf App
The Garmin Golf™ app can be used to track and keep score of your round of golf. The Garmin Golf app can also be used without a Garmin® golf-capable device for players that still want to track their scores and compare their rank among other Garmin Golf app users. This can also be useful if you forget your Garmin device but still want to track your round.
NOTE: Keeping score without using a Garmin golf-capable device will not provide GPS distance information for the course, and you will only see a basic layout for each hole. If you have the Garmin Golf™ Membership subscription, keeping score on the Garmin Golf app will show Green Contours. For more information, see - Understanding Green Contours and Compatible Garmin Golf Products.
