Months of Silence on Detailed Course Update Request – This is Unacceptable

Hilikus — Mon, 25 May 2026 19:36:32 GMT

Several months ago, I submitted a very detailed request to update the course where I regularly play, including specific changes to slopes, tees, and hole handicaps. To this day, I have received zero response from Garmin.

For comparison, I submitted the exact same update request to The Grint, and the course was fully updated within one week.

This level of delay is unjustifiable. Garmin sells a premium product specifically focused on golf, yet users have no effective way to get basic course information corrected. Even more frustrating is the lack of any self-service tools. We can add hazards manually, but we cannot update critical scorecard data such as:

Course slope
Tee information and slope per tee
Hole handicaps

If the Garmin team is not going to respond to user requests, we should at least be given the ability to make these essential corrections ourselves.

I hope this post reaches the developers. This situation needs to improve.

Thank you.

We can edit putt and pin locations in app finally.

CFAnPEI — Wed, 20 May 2026 16:35:00 GMT

Just download Garmin Golf v3.8.

New feature, I can edit putt and pin location.

Tested. Works great.

So the question is..... What is the point?

This information isn't being used to update the performance stats data. It still says we need a CT10 or CT1 on our clubs.

If that is the case, what data takes precedence in the Golf app stats?

If I have a CT10 on my putter AND edit my pin/putt locations, which data is used for performance stats.

Green Contours - Slope Percentage vs Elevation Map

sean.nicholson — Mon, 18 May 2026 23:48:13 GMT

Hi there I posted this same question in the Epix Gen 2 Forum and unsure if it should be homed here?

... I have the Garmin Golf Membership and have noticed that when I go to "view green" on the watch I am defaulting to Elevation Maps rather than Slope Percentage (difference here - Understanding Green Contours and Compatible Garmin Golf Products | Garmin Customer Support)

Question:

1. How do I cycle / change between these?

2. Is it possible to default to Elevation Map?

Device: Epix Pro (Gen 2)

Firmware: 26.09

Maps: CourseView Pacific 26.10

Golf App: 3.7.1 (757) - Android

The course(s) which I am playing are listed as having contours

Thank you!

Garmin Golf Performance Stats not working

681848265 — Wed, 13 May 2026 21:20:52 GMT

My golf performance-stats are not showing anymore. This function has worked for approx a year. Watch is Venu 3 and everything syncs just fine. Scorecards are transferred and I can see all the strokes.
As I signed up for the garmin golf subscription the stats went blank. I ahve tried all the recomended solutions, but nothing fixes this issue.

I have seen other post about this, but no solution. Is this still work in progress?

Cheers

Automatic wrist change when golfing

1812371 — Mon, 11 May 2026 09:50:14 GMT

Would it be possible to change wrist automatically when starting a golf round? I'm a lefty and shots do not register accurately when i'm wearing my watch on my left wrist. So I also change it to my lead wrist (right) when starting a golf round. Problem however is that when doing so the steps counter is not working properly anymore. It will only count 2000 steps over 9 holes when i'm carrying. Buddy who is right-handed counts over 8500 over the same course.

It would be great if you can adjust this by default when golfing. it's easy to forget to adjust before a round and also easy to forget after each round. So please help us lefties out 😃

How do i add old scorecards to my app?

silawless — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:23:11 GMT

I'm trying to add old scorecards to the app so i can keep everything in the same place now that I have a garmin watch capable of scoring and tracking golf shots. I've tried adding historic rounds but you can't change the date of the round?

Historical shots are missing from some rounds but older rounds show them

8314670 — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:41:56 GMT

I noticed a lot of changes to Garmin Golf app this season. Historical shots are missing from recent rounds although older scorecards from the same course show historical shots. The same problem exists in the app and on the website.

Incorrect calculation fo Handicap (instead it is based of a fictional Garmin Handicap)

Tobias — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 20:05:19 GMT

My Stableford-Points are being calculated based of a Handicap, which the Garmin Golf App has decided to give to me, instead of my real Handicap. This "Garmin Handicap" can be found somehwere in the App and does not seem to have the current World Handicap Format (only full numbers like 41 are displayed instead of my 39.3).

This is really frustrating especially since i am able (and did) enter my Handicap on the watch (Approach S62) and specially selected a scoring based on Index & Slope.

It would be nice if the Handicap would be managed through the App and is synced to the Watch for the display & calculation of strokes during the games as well as the calculation of points after the game.

To make things worse I did switch phones and noticed that the game i played is no longer recorded as activity. (The checkbox on the phone is stil set.)

Garming Golf Impact view for R10

5069884 — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 08:14:18 GMT

I think the ball impact view is great for practice. It would be perfect if you could a row showing club head and ball speed with smash factor to that view and you would not have to change to data field view.

Tempo in the R10?

Hilikus — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 12:48:17 GMT

Some golf watches has tempo training like the approach line and the Fenix. I have an R10 as well and when in the range I do use the watch to see my tempo. How about have this integration to users that have a watch and an R10 or R50? To see the tempo information of the swing as an added metric in the app? Already submitted as an idea.

Connection to USGA/GHIN?

2484839 — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 23:59:16 GMT

When will the Garmin Golf app (S70) be upgraded with the API to connect to the USGA/GHIN to track official handicaps?

I have read the responses and I am surprised this has been requested for years and Garmin hasn't provided this feature yet.

Please update everyone on a timeline for this feature. This really isn't that big of an investment, considering other very small companies/apps have built an API.

Thank you

Approach S62 not syncing to Google Pixel Phone

allaces — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 22:14:11 GMT

This is a recent issue and now very frustrating. Every time I try to connect via Bluetooth on my phone it shows a pairing number for a few seconds then it goes away. Multiple attempts will not connect. I have followed all the steps. Even rebooted (reset) my watch. Nothing. Help.

Golf Shot Map Not Working after Epix Update 23.18

Vlam — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 07:17:39 GMT

Garmin Golf Shot Map not working or showing in the app after the Epix Gen 2 update 23.18

Has anyone else experienced this after the update? I can see the shot maps of the rounds played before the update, but no option to see shot maps for rounds played after the update.

I have several golf rounds that appear on watch and Connect app but not in Golf app?

Rooboy11 — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 23:02:54 GMT

I have tried all the uninstall/reinstall and sign-in advice. I have tried to sync watch (Fenix 7x) via Express and cable connection (although I couldn't find a 'sync' button). Anyone had this and solved it, please?

Golf App Crashes When Accessing Driving Range data

2111418 — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 03:23:01 GMT

Garmin Golf app keeps crashing every time I try to look at Driving Range data from my R10. Just got the unit yesterday, updated everything to latest and app continues to crash only when clicking on the data set. Frustrating enough that it renders the device useless for me so I'm likely returning unless an answer can be provided.

change round to stapleford, after entering score

3079806 — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 08:30:31 GMT

I wish to change a recorded round from stroke play to Stapleford, I have read and followed a few instructions, but none work so far

Can it be done retrospectively, either via the Android app or laptop app?

Two clubs won’t appear on my Venu, my club list in the app is how it should be.

1544869 — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:38:31 GMT

Any suggestions to get them to show up on my watch, the sensors just pair as unassigned. I’ve restarted, synced 50-times. Deleted all the clubs and re-tried. Losing my sanity…

Garmin Golf App

5831463 — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:59:46 GMT

A couple of questions.

1. With all of the course mapping Garmin has done, why does the Garmin golf app not provide interactive yardages to hazards or other aim points when playing? This would be incredibly helpful.

2. I've found that when connecting the Garmin golf app with my Garmin Z30 range finder, if my phone screen goes to sleep mode, the range finder no longer shows the yardages to the front and back of the green. Is this a known issue or user error?

golf not showing as an available activity

3744089 — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 17:39:08 GMT

I have a Garmin Adventure watch and I've got the Garmin Golf app on my Android phone but when I go to start an activity golf is not avaiable. If I try to add more to my list, golf is not available . I have download the maps for my local golf course and I've even successfully done this once before a couple of months ago. What am I doing wrong now?

Since the last update I don't see hazards on the golf app anymore?

LC — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 11:11:39 GMT

The hazards option is shaded off - before the update I got the data. Is their a reason it is turned off now?

Garmin, Please Add Bag Weight & Elevation for Golf Training Load!

Hilikus — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 14:18:37 GMT

After a 4.5-hour golf round walking 12 km on a hilly course while carrying a 20 kg bag, my Garmin reports a low training load (~20 points) and suggests minimal recovery needs, yet I feel significantly fatigued. The heart rate-based metric seems to underrepresent the effort of carrying weight and navigating elevation changes, as discussed in similar threads about low-intensity activities. I propose Garmin add options to input bag weight, like in rucking, and factor in elevation changes for golf, to better reflect the physical demands and improve training load accuracy for courses with significant terrain challenges.
