Play Golf GPS Rangefinder: Golf Pad on PC and Mac

About the Game

Golf GPS Rangefinder: Golf by Golf Pad GPS is a comprehensive, free golf companion that turns your device into a precise rangefinder, a detailed scorecard, and a personal shot tracker. Designed to work seamlessly on over 40,000 courses globally, the app provides instant distances to the front, middle, and back of any green, along with the ability to measure yardages to any hazard or landmark with a simple tap on the aerial map. There is no registration required to start playing, and the app is optimized to conserve battery life during your round.
The application conforms to USGA tournament rules through its Regulation Mode, ensuring you can rely on it during competitive play. Beyond basic distances, you can unlock a deeper understanding of your game with the optional Golf Pad TAGS system, which automatically tracks every shot to provide actionable insights like shot dispersion and strokes gained data. However, the core GPS, scoring, and shot-tracking features remain completely free and fully functional without any additional hardware.
Key Features at No Cost
Access a powerful set of tools without paying a dime. The app delivers immediate yardages to the middle, front, and back of the green, and you can touch any point on the course map to get a precise distance. A PGA-quality digital scorecard supports up to four golfers, tracking strokes, putts, penalties, sand shots, and fairways hit. The one-tap shot tracker makes it easy to log club selection and position, measuring the length of every drive or approach shot, which you can later review on a map and share with friends. Aerial satellite maps with flyover previews are available for every hole, and you can view rangefinder distances directly on your screen without unlocking your phone.
Comprehensive Statistics and Analysis
Your entire playing history is stored and accessible for review, allowing you to edit past scores or add notes at any time. The app tracks a wide range of statistics to monitor your progress, including scoring averages, total putts, accuracy percentages, penalties, fairways hit, sand saves, greens in regulation, and the distance walked during a round. For those seeking deeper improvement, the revolutionary Strokes Gained shot-by-shot analysis breaks down your performance against benchmarks to identify specific strengths and weaknesses in your game.
Social Play and Sharing
Golf is often a social experience, and the app enhances this with group rounds and online leaderboards. You can share your complete scorecards, personal notes, and interactive shot maps with friends via Twitter, Facebook, or email, either during the round or after you finish. The community of over two million golfers has already moved to Golf Pad GPS, playing more than seven million rounds, favoring its comprehensive free offering over other golf GPS navigator apps.
Premium Upgrades and Wearable Sync
While the free version is fully featured and not a trial, upgrading to Golf Pad Premium unlocks extended statistics, handicap scoring, and the ability to sync with smartwatches, including Android Wear and Samsung Gear devices. This allows you to check distances and track shots directly from your wrist.
Enhanced Experience on PC with MuMuPlayer
Playing Golf GPS Rangefinder: Golf on a PC using MuMuPlayer elevates the entire pre-round and post-round experience. The large monitor provides an unmatched view of the aerial satellite maps and flyovers, making it significantly easier to study course layouts and plan strategies for each hole. Using a mouse to tap for distances to bunkers, water, or layup points offers a level of precision that is difficult to achieve on a smaller touchscreen. MuMuPlayer also provides a stable environment for reviewing your complete playing history, analyzing Strokes Gained reports, and examining shot maps after your round, all while keeping your mobile device charged and ready for the course.
