During a round I set my phone down, play the hole and when I pick it up to enter score, GIR, Fairway hit, etc. it resets to the Home Screen and the previous holes played have been deleted. No way to resume play.

Using the app on my iphone 13 pro for scoring/gps during a round the app resets to the splash screen each time I open it. As previously stated, it retains the round info but it sure takes up time to do this. Very frustrating.

My GHIN # 11272004 Golfer lookup is not working for several weeks. I contacted GHIN yesterday- they told me to contact my golf club- legend oaks. Tyler at legend oaks also confirmed his app is not letting him lookup up golfers.

Apple Watch app for GHIN would not open, I have it connected to blue tooth on my phone that works just fine

By Vincent Spiziri   1 year ago


The current round needs to be restarted frequently. The ap doesn’t reset or freeze but stops the current round. You then need to restart the round. It remembers your entries up to that point (you get to a screen asking you to either delete or finish) but you need to reload the course and re-link with the Apple Watch. Happened several times during each round.

I didn't have problems with endless buffering on my old phone but on my new Galaxy it buffers after the first time I load up the app. I have tried reinstalling the app three times same result. I also get a pop window indicating a problem try later type of message.

In the middle of the round the lowere portion of screen expands to half way up. The remaining half is not so small the course layout with ysrdage is not enough to help. Reloaded app but same problem.

Using the USGA GHIN app with Iphone and apple watch, when the phone locks the yardage is no longer available on the apple watch. Have to put passcode in to unlock the phone each time to be able to see yardage on the iphone, this is very annoying. Is there a work around for this problem? Thank you...

This was PREVIOUSLY a good app that worked flawlessly, until GHIN apparently (and recently) acquired it. Now it's crap; crashes all the time; can't find a satellite; defaults to the green map instead of the hole map. Unreliable; makes my rounds WORSE not better.

Play with GPS loads course then goes back to home screen. Galaxy S21+ and Android.

I’ve upgraded to GHIN gps enhanced. I have Apple Watch series 5 paired with IPhone 12 Pro. The app works on phone. The app is on Apple Watch , the GHIN app on phone detects Apple Watch and requests you to open app on Watch, but when activating the app on the watch, it momentarily opens but does not stay open. Other People have posted same problem. What is the fix? Please respond Thanks Marianne

iPhone app is stuck on score screen, won’t allow me to swipe back to GPS yardages screen. If I post the score and hit “next” it goes to the next hole score instead of GPS yardages and is stuck there. Uninstalled and reinstalled, still stuck.

The app on my iPhone has not been working for several days

By Christian Emden   1 year ago


I have now made repeatedly the experience that in the middle of the round the GHIN app shuts down, and when restarted, i can't get back in my current game. Which is annoying if i keep track of my score via the app. this issue occured also before the apple watch inclusion was implemented.

By Gary Reed   1 year ago


Once course is selected app will not bring up course graphics but returns to home screen. It will let me post my score but no graphics or yardages for holes. Not sure how to fix this. Have tried the fixes on the internet but to no avail.

Since I subscribed six weeks ago, the app has unlocked twice for a half dozen holes on seven rounds. It says “do you want to upgrade?” And I say yes and it tells me that I’m already subscribed. About 1 of 20 attempts it actually unlocks the green features. I canceled my subscription, but I can’t get a refund. I feel very ripped off.

My GHIN App shows only distance to green center with lock on front and back distances. On one course it showed front, center and back on the front nine and only center on back nine. The settings screen is set to show all three distances. I am using the free version (4.2.2) on an Android phone and have uninstalled and re-installed and cleared the cache. Still have the problem and so do some of my friends.

The app won’t let me choose tees when calculating course handicap. How can I fix that?

By Raynor Smith   1 year ago


I select play w gps and the first hole loads w yardages but no course graphics for 1st hole. I select next hole and the app crashes. Also, it shows that these features may locked, so I select to upgrade for $39.99, but app tells me Im already registered.

After a use or two and I go back and select my home course, it won’t let me select a tee. Not for any partners I have on my iPhone. Only thing that lets it work is rebooting iPhone. Can you fix it?

After logging my scores for 3 times my app just spins trying to connect. Requires I uninstall and reinstall. This has been going on for at least 2 years. I have the latest Android phone and was a problem for my last android phone. Do you know why this occurs?

By Rob Keene   1 year ago


I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro android device and tried the fix below, but it didn't work. I cleared the cache but not the user data. If I clear user data is it going to clear all of my scores out where I have to start over establishing my handicap? This would be a great feature, but once it loads and I try to put in input or click to go to next hole the app crashes.

Everytime you launch the GPS feature, after the first hole comes up, it crashes. This is on a new android phone.


Common dislikes about GHIN app

- You cannot like and comment on peoples posted scores.

- USGA is 10 years behind the times with their monopoly on the handicap system.

- After updating app to the latest version the app is stuck on the trial screen which will not scroll or close even after returning to my home screen.

- App will not work as I cannot access the home screen.
