Registered Golf Genius players will find the free Golf Genius mobile app an exciting and useful addition to their golf experience. The app is also designed to reduce effort and save valuable time for the pro shop staff and league managers.
Here are a few of the most important app functions: (1) Live score entry out on the course (scores can be entered by players or pro staff) that immediately updates full field leaderboards on large TV displays in the clubhouse and on the app itself; (2) access to the custom member portal where players can view tee sheets, results, statistics, etc.; (3) an easy and fast way to upload photos, creating photo galleries that add to the fun for any event; (4) mobile access for club pros and league managers to all events on the golf calendar, with dates, registrants, tee sheets, hole-by-hole scorecards, final results, etc.; (5) mobile, contextual branding exposure and messaging customized for corporate and charity outings sponsors, which translates into an attractive and differentiated “outings offer” and the opportunity for clubs hosting outings to maximize revenue.
The Golf Genius mobile app is designed for both iPhone and iPad.
Golf Genius Positive Reviews
So soApp is ok. We use it every week for our weekend games at the club (past three years or so for a group of 50+ golfers). It’s very messy when it comes to registration and cancellation. When I go to open tee times and confirm a spot, there is no way to take myself out of the tee sheet if something changes in my schedule or if it was a mistake. How difficult could it be to allow someone to cancel their own registration. We have several issues every week because of this. We’re now looking at other options that could do a better job..#GolfernotGeniusVersion: 11.0
Superior SupportI 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!.IplaymoregolfVersion: 5.3.4
Scoring IssueI think the app does a good job. I like how it tracks player stats for my club. We use the app for scoring each week. One thing most of us struggle with is when we accidentally skip a hole when scoring—we enter hole 12’s scores in on hole 13. Then it throws off the whole scorecard. Messy. It would be great if the app could warn me that I skipped a hole before letting me save scores on the next hole (when trying to save scores on hole 13 it should let me know that no scores were entered on 12)..Soccer steve2Version: 5.4.2
User ThoughtYours 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..AceHackerVersion: 6.1
Golf Genius vs GHINI wonder why a handicap with Golf Genius is different from a handicap with GHIN. I have played over 60 rounds this year and have an 8.8 handicap with GHIN. Recently, I played in an “event” that utilized the Golf Genius app to compute the results. I normally play from between 5,800-6,200 yards. During this event, I played tees that were 6,500-6,700 yards. Yet, my handicap was reduced because I didn’t play from the tees that were actually behind the tees I played from..Jayhawks21Version: 7.2
Good appThe 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 the app.
Support is also incredibly quick at getting back to you on a question..Ncarlson6425Version: 5.0.6
Great app for competitions BUTBut 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.Mela914Version: 5.3.4
Great AppIf 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..John D 3Version: 5.3.1
Great app for following scores from far awayLove 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?.Pgmrob3Version: 6.7
Can’t log inI’m playing on a tournament this week and we were directed to download the app. I must have used the app 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?.BCBfloVersion: 5.3.6
Please fix the Login windowThis app 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!!!!.GroverdillVersion: 5.3.4
Great appWe use GG for our men’s club and it makes scoring across all the games we have so easy. It’s a little pricey but overall worth it..Tank69kmaVersion: 8.4
SpectatorIt would be nice if I could follow my niece on this app. 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..Smack004Version: 5.2.1
Good app but heavy battery drainConsistently 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..Bigmrv07Version: 5.4

Personal Tournament UseGreat App for golf course run tournaments. The live leaderboard is fantastic, however is there any possible option for charity or personal small hosted tournaments? Wondering as the $250 purchase fee is quite significant if we’re running 5-15 tournaments a summer with groups of 8-24 golfers. E.SadBoyDontLieVersion: 5.3.6

Golf Genius Negative Reviews
This is what you get when it’s all you’ve got.My men’s club uses golf genius to manage all of our tournament needs. It’s ok. It’s clunky. Either GG has poor training or lacks customer support, likely both. The app won’t let me access my club but the site will. My mens club board doesn’t know what’s going on and GG is nowhere to be found. I’ve deleted the app, reinstalled, shut my phone down, soft reset. Downloaded the app directly from the site where I’m logged in and accessing my club. Still nothing. Gonna be hard to track my tournament scores live as required by my club…
The error that continues to pop for me is “You are not part of any leagues / events / trips”. Inaccurate since I’m accessing my league with all the same login information.
Side note, it’s not the most user friendly when tracking your scores and summarizing your round at the end to balance to your official card. It’s fine in that aspect but is not exceptional..Allnamestaken1932Version: 8.4
Lots of potential but deep flawsThe club integrations via Member Portal are extremely clumsy. I can’t tell if this is the fault of the club setting up the customization but ideally the app and backend service itself would have good templates for most event formats and make it impossible for these club customizations to be so poor.
The app is frequently in some kind of disconnected state which a quick logout/login always fixes (suggesting that it’s the fault of the app, not the wireless 3G/4G connection).
It’s also not uncommon that after you post scores on a few holes, some of those scores have not actually been persisted off-phone. For example after correctly submitting scores for 12 holes, someone else will tell me that we are missing scores for holes 4-9, for example. Their view, and the server-side view, do not reflect what we submitted.
So, lots of potential. Would like to see an integration with Venmo so we can enforce a buy-in at the time someone signs up for an event. It’s a pain to chase them after the fact..Qwerty-97Version: 10.3
Okay…when it worksThis app 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 the app 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 this app so we could see what was going on with our kids!.Lemon WackiVersion: 6.9
FrustratingSo frustrating to use. In a multi day event it never seems to default to the correct day. Always need to manually change it. And when scoring is open it always closes itself after a few seconds, and have to start the whole process over. Just about ruins the experience of following the golf.
Same issues for the last several years and no improvements..BogeyTimeAgain2023Version: 10.1
Latest Update ProblemsAfter the most recent update, I and several others at our club can no longer access GG app. Golf shop has reported it. What’s also troubling is that we have different messages and not everyone was affected. I receive the message about no leagues, events or trips. Not so! Yet, I have no trouble logging into husband’s acct on the same phone..FL Golfer813Version: 11.1
LoginI work at a course and have login access to golf genius and I downloaded the app 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..GolfingGirl0809Version: 4.1
On scorecard screen scores impossible to readThis app 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!.Blue PressVersion: 6.6
Login ScreenI’m new to using golf genius for our club events, but when I tried to enter scores it says to enter scores using the app while using iPad. I then go to the app 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..Maxfli29Version: 6.7
Rarely works seamlesslyIt is a fine app when it works but not very intuitive. If you go to another course to play it really throws golf genius off. Even after logging out the app cannot believe I am not at the other golf course..CarmenohioVersion: 11.0
Can’t register from app.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..Pesjr76Version: 5.3.4
Terrible app with outdated UIOur league has switched to this app 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..NHSwimCoachVersion: 6.5
Constantly boots you out of leaderboardThanks 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..BeeGee274Version: 6.1
AwfulI played in a tournament three months ago, and the app defaults to that, with no way to delete it. Nowhere to contact anyone for support. No way to enter another event. Deleted and reinstalled- nothing. Frustrated - there’s gotta be a better app.Sue DepVersion: 10.1
A complete wasteOur club is forcing us to use this app 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..ArcticSunPadVersion: 5.2.1
Can’t connectI 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..Not this many NNVersion: 5.4.2
