Next Shot: Golf GPS Scorecard

Adding a past round is now as easy as snapping a photo your scorecard. Take a photo or choose one from your library, review the captured scores, and save the round to your activity.

A beautiful new Activity tab makes your golf history easier than ever to explore. Customize My Stats, compare scoring and rating trends across different timeframes, and revisit the clubs and courses you’ve played. Plan your round with a new Intelligent Shot Plan feature, letting you visualize landing areas for different clubs to make the best for each hole. On iOS 27, the course photos widget also supports the new extra-large portrait size, bringing more of your favorite course photography to a tall, immersive Home Screen layout.

Improvements to the watch app, specifically major battery life improvements for round recording, and other in-round improvements to make tracking your score easier than ever.

Improvements to the in-round play experience, and refinements to hole-by-hole scoring.

Manage the flow of your round with the new Pace of Play tool for Apple Watch. Next Shot tracks pace as you play, shows whether you are on pace, ahead, or behind, and projects when your round is likely to finish. Open the Pace view anytime for a clearer look at your current pace.
