Course update

Hilikus — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 13:59:02 GMT

Hi,

When can I expect an update to my home golf course, I've submitted several forms, the course went through several modifications that change the overall slope and hole hdc. Because of this my index in Garmin is being incorrectly calculated.

Garmin aproach R10

richard.ford — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 20:49:34 GMT

Ihave been running the garmin golf app on an android tablet. I only use the practice part of the app. it did work well. Now the driving range does not display correctly the lower half is black or flashing. it looks a little like it cannot display enough colours. i have reset the android tablet to factory settings, re installed the app a couple of times the fault remains.

MAX DISTANCE in Club Performance

BAUMGARTNER — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 20:09:08 GMT

In Club performance = https://connect.garmin.com/app/gear/active-golf-clubs it dispays the Average and Maximum distances for each club.

However most of the Maximum distances are crazy numbers, eg my Sand Wedge is 321 metres. I use Approach S62 + CT10 sensors.

Can you add some reset button or just count only last 100 shots for each club?

The distance range on the garmin golf app won't load. Crooked Creek, green valley, and island range all load. How to fix?

I can't access the distance range on the Garmin Golf app on android. It gets stuck in loading screen. Crooked creek, green valley, and island range all work fine. Any idea how to fix?

GOLF App live distances

Dazzas1066 — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 17:05:41 GMT

I have a fenix 7 s and the screen is very small for reviewing course and hazards etc. I was thinking I can use the garmin phone app for live distances to hazards, green etc. It shows nothing just the map and my location. Is this normal?

Its a key decision to stay in the garmin eco system

S70 Shot Map Missing and Performance Stats no longer tracking

6973450 — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:47:52 GMT

For the last week, since June 30th, my shot map is no longer appearing in the app or on a web browser and the Performance Stats are not updating from my S70. I've tried several things to try to rectify this:

1. Logged out of app restarted phone no change

2. Uninstalled the app on my phone, no change.

3. Garmin Connect on a browser shows the shot map is missing. It's available for rounds before June 30th.

4. Confirmed my watch was not stuck with a Resume Round error.

5. Used Garmin Express to force a sync of my watch files, no change.

Some other things I tried were to check the course download cache, but I had no courses downloaded. Stat Tracking and Club Prompt are turned On. Big Numbers Mode is turned Off. Plays Like is also turned Off.

My searches tell me the data is permanently lost but I don't see how it was working on June 25th round then suddenly stops working from June 30th forward.

I'm running version 27.07. Is there a known bug in this software version causing this? Is there something I can do to try to get the shot map data to sync and get my performance stats to update? The missing round were actually very impactful to my handicap and I'd like to not lose them.

GOLF COURSE UPDATE

Up & downs

JorritvdE — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 06:29:25 GMT

I want to track more stats around my golf game, which is why I bought a Garmin watch. I really like that I can now track my fairways, greens and putts. I was wondering how the number of up & downs is calculated? It keeps showing 0, where there should be more. Shouldn't a par with 1 putt count as an up & down?

Find wrong Golf club distance

Stefan — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 20:41:11 GMT

Hi, I'd like to know how I can identify the specific scorecard/round, when I accidentially didn't choose the correct club. As a result the club is shown in the club statistics with an enormous distance, which sonetimes can't be right. According to the support of Garmin, I know that you should specify "the correct club" right in the game. But sometimes it happens and you just don't notice it.

I took the time and swiped throught te last ~50 golf rounds. But I cannot find it. Now I'm at a loss...

Meanwhile the statistics (maximum distance) of 4 or 5 clubs are completely wrong. My olny alternative would be to delete all played rounds and start new.

Please help!!!

It would be easy to just click on the (wrong) distance in the table of clubstatistics and jump to the round. There you could easily correct the wrong distance.

Ability to add a shot has vanished in version 3.8.1

9113152 — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 20:26:00 GMT

After updating to V3.8.1, the ability to add a shot has vanished (no more plus sign). This functionality existed in the previous version. I have a Vivoactive 4 watch. upload of data from a round to the phone works fine. Tried reinstalling Golf app, but no change. This is not a problem with screen resolution. I would be happy to revert to the previous SW version, but don't know how.

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.
