Very useful on several levels. The GPS is indispensible on courses that are not well marked. The cumulative scoring statistics, while sometimes painful, provide eye-opening feedback on all levels of your game. Lastly, when paired with the Golfplan software, Golfshot gave me a practice regime that was tailor-made to address my weak spots.

I did quite a bit of research and decided on Golfshot. I couldn't be happier! Three rounds in, no issues at all. Every course found, GPS tracking accurate yardages, and the statistics are very helpful. Great with the new iPhone 4 as the new battery is fantastic. Barely takes 20% for a full round thanks to the background GPS. If you are reading this, and debating a golf GPS app, you have found it.

Update: 07/11/10 - would give it more stars if possible! Using it on the iPhone 4 and it works flawlessly! Batter drain is no longer a problem. I started the round with 94% battery and finished with 53%. I ran the app the entire time and switched to other apps several time. It kept the gps reading the entire round and wasn't off or slow even one time. This is a great example of a good idea and good code working well on a good device. Still two issues: the end of round email still doesn't display properly on the iPhone and you can't easily switch between multiple holes. If you start on hole 10 and make the turn to play hole 1, you have to go back through each hole one at a time to get to hole one. Minor inconveniences...

The GPS is great- but the real value is the statistics collected about your round. I email my statistics to my golf instructor and he knows what we should work on at our next lesson. The program is easy to use and has very good graphics.

Extremely well done.

I've had this app over a year and always liked it. Now that I have an iPhone 4 and iOS 4 it's even better. They really did a great job with the update and I love the enable GPS feature. If you turn it on the GPS is always current and all you have to do is lock and unlock your phone. Never wait to acquire satellite again! Played a long 18 holes today and my battery went from 100% to 77%. Incredible app!!! Worth every penny!

This is more than worth the 30$ for the app AND the 80$ I had to spend on a mophie case to use it for a full 18 holes. Layout, display, scoring, and stats are better than any 300$ dedicated GPS unit I have seen. The only flaw I have seen other than sucking down your battery is that it can take a while to update yardages sometimes after you move, while other times it is instant. However since it is using the iPhone gps I guess you can't really fault the app for that. Kudos to the developers for an awesome app!

I was a little skeptical when i purchased this when it came to the gps accuracy, ease of use, and how bad it would drain my battery. Used this today for the first time, and not only is it super-accurate, it's much more user friendly than any other golf app or sky caddie ive used. To my surprise the battery life was at 80% on my iPhone 4 following the four hour round. I cant recommend this app enough! When in need of an exact distance, it took only a few seconds to get the accurate yardage to the front, middle, and the back of the green. With how easy it is to use, it really allowed me to get dialed in on my exact distances for my approach clubs. As far as I'm concerned this is the best golf app around, and the statistic tracking capabilities are only icing on the cake.

Perfect on the iphone4. Fast and accurate.

Works great with 3GS!!! Awesome app, worth the $30

Great product. Replaces a $300 specialized golf GPS for about $30. Shows distance to all hazards and allows technical scoring analysis. My only criticism is that it uses a lot of battery. Power management is a necessity with this. Otherwise outstanding.

I loved this on my iphone 3gs and I love this even more on my iphone 4! It is always dead on accurate and the battery life is now much better. Not to mention how great the multitasking is where it keeps the satellite on even while im texting or on a call. I can just pop back into the app and it shows exactly how far I am to the hole!

Five rounds played. Overall impressed for the investment spent. Some of the yardages are up to 10 yds off in some spots and its usability in regards to the 3G iphone as it relates to battery power is significantly lacking. Looking forward to seeing how long the iphone 4 battery will last! Prefer the skycaddy for ease of use and accuracy, but for $400 less and no subscription, golfshot is impressive. The scorecard feature and shot tracking software is easy to use and helpful for post round analysis. Overall, a very well spent $30.

This app works as well or better than my dads $300 golf gps!

It's a good program... just eats up my battery on my iPhone. :(

Great for both the hardcore golfer and the weekend duffer. I was skeptical about paying the price (it's the most expensive app I own!) but it's well worth it - so much easier and more useful than the stand-alone golf GPS gadgets.

I've had this app for a good year now. First started using it on my 3G. It was accurate but ran a bit slow. After 18 my battery was about 20%. Bought the new iphone 4. Man, what a difference. Last week I played 36. Still had over 40% of battery life left. The GPS is much quicker and just as accurate. This app is awesome. The stats it offers will make your head spin if you're a good golfer and it'll make you cry if you're a bit inconsistent like me. Probably the best app i've bought. Well worth the $$$$.

I bought this app about 3 months ago and couldn't wait to put it to the test and I was not disappointed. I have owned both the Sky Caddie and Calloway Upro and Golfshot is BY FAR superior to both. Completely user friendly. Beautiful graphics and the yardage distances were spot on accurate. And when your round is completed Golfshot automatically sends you your scorecard complete with all of your stats for that round. At times you have to be a little patient for the satellite signals to dial in, but who cares about that?
