Core

Precision GPS Rangefinder

Front, center, and back distances that update as you move — mapped for 40,000+ courses worldwide.

Angle-Aware Yardages

Front, center, and back distances dynamically adjust based on your angle of approach — not just a straight line to the flag.

40,000+ Courses

Worldwide course database with two map engines — Apple Maps and Google Maps — so coverage is broad, practical, and ready for travel.

Target Planning

Drag a target anywhere on the hole map to see layup distances, carry-over hazards, or plan your safest angle into the green.

Bunkers & Hazards

Distances to bunkers, water hazards, and layup targets displayed on-screen so you always know what's in play.

Up to 6 Players

Track scores for up to 6 players in the same round. Scorecard and stat tracking for the whole group.

Customizable Courses

Add courses, move pins, and edit tee boxes so your home course is always mapped exactly as it plays.

AI

Play Like Adjustments

The app thinks like a caddie — adjusting your recommended club for elevation change, wind, and your own distances.

Elevation Adjustment

Playing uphill or downhill? The AI adjusts your effective yardage so you pick the right club — not just the distance on the map.

Wind Factor

Into the wind or downwind? Factor in conditions and get a recommendation that accounts for how far the ball will actually carry.

Club Suggestion

Enter your club distances once. ForeFun recommends the right club for the shot based on your actual distances, not tour averages.

AI Green Maps

AI Green Contour Maps

See the shape of every green before you putt. AI-generated contour overlays for courses worldwide.

3D Green Contours

AI-generated contour maps show slope direction and severity across the entire green — read the break before you even walk to the pin.

Approach Planning

Know which side of the green to attack from based on the slope — choose the right pin-hunting angle or play to the safe center.

Always Current

Contour data is generated from the latest course information so the map reflects the green as it plays today.

Scorecard & Shot Tracking

A Round Worth Framing

The calligraphy scorecard turns your round into something worth keeping. Shot dispersion shows the honest truth about your game.

Calligraphy Scorecard

A beautifully typeset scorecard for every round — share it, print it, or keep it as a record of your best days on the course.

Shot Dispersion

See where your shots actually land on a map overlay. Understand your miss patterns so you can aim smarter and stop fighting the wrong mistakes.

Full Round History

Every round you've ever played is stored. Scroll back through your history and compare rounds, courses, and progress over time.

Apple Watch

Full Feature Parity on Your Wrist

ForeFun runs natively on Apple Watch — all the key features, no phone needed on the course.

Watch-Native App

ForeFun on Apple Watch runs independently. Check yardages, log shots, and track your round without pulling out your phone.

Tap to Log a Shot

Log shot distances right from your wrist. Walk to the ball, tap, and the yardage is recorded — no manual entry needed.

Live Distance Updates

Distance to the green updates in real time as you walk. Look at your watch — not your phone — to stay focused on the shot.

Comparisons

How ForeFun Stacks Up

Deciding between apps? We've written honest side-by-side breakdowns of how ForeFun compares to the other major golf GPS apps — on price, Apple Watch support, green tools, and on-course focus.

18Birdies is feature-heavy and social-first. ForeFun is leaner, faster on-course, and built around the round rather than the community.

Golfshot costs more per year. ForeFun delivers dynamic yardages, green contours, shot dispersion, and Apple Watch parity for less.

TheGrint emphasizes USGA handicaps and social scoring. ForeFun focuses on GPS precision, Apple Watch flow, and on-course decision-making.

GolfLogix is known for green contours. ForeFun matches that and adds angle-aware yardages, shot tracking, and full Apple Watch support.

Arccos requires hardware sensors. ForeFun runs entirely on iPhone and Apple Watch — no clip-on sensors, no added setup cost.

⭐ Retired Carpenter
Apr 2, 2024 — 61Sonoma (United States)
"This app is absolutely amazing. I've been using it for two seasons in my Golf League. My friends have a $400 rangefinder, and I am within a yard of them on every single hole."
⭐ Better than I expected!
Jan 6, 2022 — Andy Kotz / AKMusic Productions (United States)

⭐ Once I read the FAQ'S

"Once I read the FAQ's marking the distance for each club is as easy as a button push. I've used this with my Apple Watch on 12 rounds… marking the yardage to bunkers, hazards, etc. for the $19.99 a year, I consider it a bargain!"
