Golf Counter

Golf Counter counts your golf strokes on Apple Watch. Counting, putts, penalties, courses and pars, the scorecard, playing partners and sharing all work without any purchase. No sign-up, no login.

One tap per stroke

Tap the big number for a stroke, or turn the Digital Crown — it works with a glove on. Putts and penalties have their own buttons, and "−1" takes back only the last press. On Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or later you can also double tap.

Your round is never lost

Every stroke is saved the moment you press. If the app closes or the watch goes back to the clock, open it again and you are on the same hole with the same count.

Pars fill in by themselves

The nearest course is found with GPS and picked for you. On courses with known pars, all 18 pars are there from the first tee. On a course with no data, play it once and the pars are there next time.

Scorecard on iPhone

Strokes counted on the watch arrive on iPhone by themselves. Review them on a scorecard with circles for birdies and squares for bogeys, and share it as a picture. Finished rounds can be fixed hole by hole.

Playing partners

Add up to three partners. Their scores start at par, so most holes need one or two taps.

Easy on the battery

No heart rate or motion sensors are used, and GPS only while the app is on screen.

Golf Counter Pro (one-time in-app purchase)

Distance to the green (middle, front and back), the next hole coming up by itself at the next tee, swing counting (beta), detailed stats and CSV export of every round. You pay once; it never renews.

Privacy

Your scores stay on your Apple Watch and iPhone and are never sent anywhere. No ads.
