Golf Genius Reviews

Thanks for response. No way to recreate situation that happened at US Kids World event though. According to US Kids it sounds like app was overwhelmed by incredibly large number of players in field entering scores. Went away from live scoring for rest of tournament.

GolfGenius is just okay when it works. It usually lags at least two holes behind and on some days it doesn’t work at all. Not a great thing for parents who didn’t get to make it to the tournament due to illness or injury but wanted to keep up with scoring. The final round is always very important but many times GolfGenius just doesn’t show up to play! Even with trying all the old tricks of turning the phone off, refreshing, etc., nothing helps. Maybe some “golf IT genius” could actually fix the bugs in GolfGenius so we could see what was going on with our kids!

GolfGenius says I am not part of any leagues/ events/ trips when I try to enter either my GGID or email and password. I’ve deleted and reloaded app several times to no avail. Works great in web browser but not GolfGenius!!!! Arghhhhh

I have tried many times and I cannot connect to GG. Tried changing password and that didn’t work. Tried logging out of account on my computer. That didn’t work. Double and triple checked password, GGID and email address. I give up.

I work at a course and have login access to golf genius and I downloaded GolfGenius to use and I can not log in says I’m not part of any leagues, events or trips. I put in a GGID and get the same information. However if I go to the website on my phone the GGID works fine and so I’m not sure what the problem is. I love the program and would love to see how this end works to be able to have our golfers use this.

GolfGenius primarily used by country clubs. Average age is probably high esp. in Fl. And Az. You can’t enlarge the screen to make it more readable and in the Fl. Sun it’s impossible to see. Make the scores larger or allow screen to be enlarged when viewing. Our eyes aren’t that good and there is no reason for this unless you get a perverse pleasure in punishing seniors!

I’m new to using golf genius for our club events, but when I tried to enter scores it says to enter scores using GolfGenius while using iPad. I then go to GolfGenius and type in my GGID and it tells me I am not part of any events and won’t let me sign-in, but when I go to website and use the same GGID, it works just fine.

Are you kidding? Downloaded app. How do you register? There is no way to get in without already signing up. Would be great, if there were directions on how to do so, but guess what? Nope!! Not even a link to a website. I’d give you zero stars if this would allow it.

Our league has switched to GolfGenius and honestly it’s awful. It’s very difficult to read leaderboards and results. It’s like it was made for a PC and then simply “wrapped” and distributed as an “app”. Lots of scrolling left to right and up / down to see any information.

Is there a way to create a tournament amongst friends or are events only able to be created vi the club level?

by Mela914

but pls fix the fact that you chat have multiple match IDS entered at once. You have to log out and log back in. A real pain! Otherwise it’s great for seeing everyone’s scorecards post app and easy to enter the scores on the spot

Consistently drains battery at excessive rate even though location services off and only entering scores then immediately locking screen off. 4 hours match drains iPhone X 50% or more.

It would be nice if I could follow my niece on GolfGenius. Every tournament she's in says to use this to see live scoring and the leaderboard but I have no credentials and there doesn't seem to be any way to register as a user without them.

I’m playing on a tournament this week and we were directed to download GolfGenius . I must have used GolfGenius in the past but I’ve tried every email account I’ve ever had and no dice. In short, I am unable to register or reactivate a dormant account. Help?

by Groverdill

GolfGenius is awesome except for one simple thing: the login window. When the keyboard pops up it covers the text and you can’t see what you are typing. Great app otherwise but the first impression is not good. Please FIX this!!!!

by AceHacker

Yours is a great App. I use it 3 times weekly. My club uses it for Registration. There is a trigger (Pulled by unknown) that changes Registration to ‘Closed’. Okay so far. The problem is that a registrant cannot Cancel after Registration is Closed. Calling Pro Shop doesn’t always work. (Those guys are overworked.) It would seem being able to cancel at anytime would be a win for all stakeholders. Thanks for a great App.

I have been a user of the Genius app from nearly the beginning. This company and this product is superior in every way to other scoring and tournament software apps. I researched multiple options and every year when my renewal comes up I look again. The features alone are worth the product, but as an admin and profesional, what keeps me coming back is the outstanding and quick customer support. I get better support from Genius than not just a “golf” company, but any company at all. Add to this their receptivity to product enhancement suggestions and you can’t go wrong!

If you are playing in an event with mobile scoring, this is an easy-to-use and fun app. Also very easy to upload candid pictures of participants enjoying themselves at the Tournament. If you are viewing the portal from an iPad or device with a larger screen, it’s better just to use the portal accessed via your browser.

The Golf Genius software offers a far more comprehensive selection of tournament opens and customizability than any other mobile golf scoring app.

One note, if your club/league did not purchase the premium version, you will not be able to use GolfGenius .

Support is also incredibly quick at getting back to you on a question.

Love being able to follow scores while not at the tournament. Would be great if there was a way to save GGIDs. Also would be great if I could rename or tag GGID to be able to remember what tournament it was without having to open it. Make sense?

by ArcticSunPad

Our club is forcing us to use GolfGenius for tournaments and leagues. Everyone I have spoken to hates it and thinks it is worse than the old manual scorecards. It is impossible to determine the status of our matches real time and even the leaderboard is useless for our league.

Literally can’t access info for the men’s Maryvale golf club, worked two months ago, not working now

by Joh1234felicia

Not part of any league or events or trips. I can sign on via your website no difficulty but GolfGenius won’t let me sign-on

by Travelin Dave

Does it make sense to anyone that a 'non-premium' user can use the website easily to register for club tournaments, etc but can't even log in to GolfGenius ? Why the difference!

by Jean Golfer

Previous had access. Have app have all sign on deleted redownloaded will not let me sign in

by Bullisthisnicknametakenalso?

I just downloaded this for an upcoming tournament I’m having and my phone said payment processed. How much does it cost? I’m not going to require 144 golfers to download GolfGenius if there is a fee.

by Jvalley18

Said it updated to iPhone X. App still crops the screen, it may now support iPhone X in other ways, but screen is the same.

by Eldedo

I is the program at work at my course, I am the main user. Why can’t I sign on on the mobile app?

by Beth992426

GolfGenius is great but the age restrictions is a problem. My child’s junior golf event wanted the players to download GolfGenius but it’s listed as 17+ and some parents either didn’t know their restrictions code or didn’t trust GolfGenius due to the high age limit and didn’t want it on their junior players phone. They need to change the age appropriateness level or juniors need to use a different app.

Worked well

by NCforreal

The live leaderboard is a great feature, makes the round exciting to see how the field is stacking up on any given night
