A free golf GPS that reads the whole hole.
GolfCore is a free golf GPS for iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS. It gives yardages to the front, center and back of the green, to the bunkers and water along your line, and to wherever you want to lay up.
Every number you would ask a caddie for.
Stand anywhere on the course and GolfCore measures from your phone's GPS to the front, center and back of the green. The course is drawn hole by hole, so every number sits on a picture of the hole you are playing.
- Front, center and back from your phone's GPS, at every course
- Hazards and carries the bunker lip, the far side of the water
- Any point on the hole tap the map to measure to your layup
A rangefinder that sees around corners.
A laser rangefinder needs a clear line to the flag. GPS works from anywhere, so GolfCore gives you the carry over a hazard and the green beyond the trees as easily as the flag in front of you.
- Blind greens the front and back of a green you cannot see
- Doglegs the distance to the corner from the tee
- On the wrist yards to the flag from the watch's own GPS
Keep score and every shot.
The scorecard sits on the map, so scoring never takes you away from the hole. Every hole can be shared as a shot-by-shot card.
- Putts, fairways and greens recorded as you go, hole by hole
- Play together friends scan your QR code to join the round
- Mark Shot a pin on every shot, with its club and distance
Ask Siri for the number.
Keep the glove on. Siri answers with the yards to the pin and to the middle of the green on the hole you are playing.
- “How far is the flag in GolfCore” yards to the pin and the middle of the green
- “Ask my GolfCore caddie” a read on the shot in front of you
- iPhone and Apple Watch part of CaddyCore Premium
Yardage and scoring are free at every course. Premium adds the caddie's read.

Common questions
Is the GolfCore golf GPS free?
Yes. The course map, GPS yardages and the scorecard are free at every course. CaddyCore Premium adds green maps, modeled wind, caddie reads and offline courses.
Does GolfCore work like a rangefinder?
Yes. It gives GPS yardages to the front, center and back of the green and to hazards and layup points, and it works from anywhere on the course, even with the flag out of sight.
Does it work on a watch?
Yes, on Apple Watch and on Wear OS watches such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The watch shows yards to the flag from its own GPS, the front and back of the green, the bunkers and water on your line, and a score button.
Can I ask Siri for the yardage?
Yes, with CaddyCore Premium. Say “Siri, how far is the flag in GolfCore” on your iPhone or Apple Watch and Siri answers with the yards to the pin and to the middle of the green. Say “Ask my GolfCore caddie” to ask about your shot.
