About Bad Golf App: Scorecard & GPS
Bad Golf is the free golf app for your regular group — one shared live scorecard, a GPS rangefinder with satellite maps, real handicaps, and every side game you already play, scored automatically in units so nobody is doing napkin math at the 19th hole. ONE LIVE SCORECARD Start a round, send the invite by text, and everyone scores on their own phone while the card stays in sync across the group. Friends at home can follow hole by hole. Finished rounds save to everyone's history automatically. GPS ON EVERY HOLE Front, middle and back yardages to the green on a satellite view, plus lay-up and carry numbers on holes that have them mapped. More than 11,000 U.S. courses come with their scorecard, tee ratings and slope. Missing your home course? Add it and map the greens yourself in minutes. 40+ GAMES, SCORED FOR YOU Skins with carry-overs, Nassau with the Huckle press, Wolf, Vegas, Banker, Hammer, Stableford, Quota, Match Play, Team Match Play, Best Ball, Combo Score, Ryder Cup, Scramble, Split Sixes, Niners, Bingo Bango Bongo, Umbrella and Pot of Gold — plus greenies, sandies, barkies, Rolos, Snake, chip-ins, closest to the pin, long putt, long drive and birdie bump. Pick your games at setup and Bad Golf keeps every tally, applies handicaps, and shows the Unit Totals card when the round ends. Bad Golf just keeps score. A REAL HANDICAP Post your rounds and get a Handicap Index calculated with World Handicap System math — score differentials, best-of-20, net double bogey caps — applied per tee and per hole by stroke index, so a 5 and a 20 can play a fair match. LEAGUES THAT RUN THEMSELVES Create a season, invite the field, and Bad Golf builds the weekly matchups, flights, league handicaps, standings, prize pools and playoffs. Absences and subs handled. Commissioners get their Thursdays back. TOURNAMENTS & EVENTS Buddies trips, member-guests, charity scrambles: multi-day events with groups, pairings, tee times, field-wide side games and a live event leaderboard on every phone. KNOW YOUR GAME Fairways, greens in regulation, putts, sand saves, scoring mix and round-by-round trends, tracked from the scores you are already entering. Earn 75 badges for the great shots and the bad ones — yes, there is one for the snowman. APPLE WATCH Yardages and score entry on your wrist. BUILT FOR THE GROUP, NOT THE GRINDERS Bad Golf is not a tour-pro training tool. It is for the Saturday crew that plays the same games every week and wants the score kept straight, beyond argument. Free. No subscription, no ads. Bad Golf, Better Times.

What’s new
Version 2026.11.1938 · Updated October 20, 2026
MAP VIEW • Tap Map / Sat on the GPS screen to switch from satellite to a clean, yardage-book style hole map. It's available on courses that have the hole shapes, with more added every night. • Bunkers and tree lines have bold outlines so they stand out at a glance. • New "Color-blind friendly" setting in your profile: green slope shows orange for up, blue for down and light gray for level, and Map view becomes your default. TOURNAMENTS • Split 6's is now available as a group's own game for any group of 3. • Event results now include a Quota standings table for the whole field, with points, quota and units for every player. • The Final standings card you send after an event now lists Quota and Stableford, names each group's own games, and shows the points behind each one. • Skins carry-overs at the end of a round now count in the event totals, matching what your group's board shows. • Saving the day's games can no longer change a group's own games by mistake. FIXES • On Course Preview, the close button no longer covers the Arcs button. • Other small fixes and polish.
