Unable to download any golf courses onto my Epix Gen 2 watch.

I'm unable to download any golf courses onto my Epix Gen 2 watch. I've tried everything. I've restarted my watch and iOS device. Nothing. I've deleted the Golf app on my watch and when I reinstall it, the golf app has the same two courses that I've had on the watch for a long time. I've never had issues with this before because the GPS always worked it out, but it doesn't now. I've also installed the courses on my Garmin Golf App and my Connect App. Don't know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

  • The epix utilizes pre-loaded course mapping for three different regions to provide access to all of the golf course maps Garmin offers worldwide for the Golf app on the watch. The courses on your model cannot be downloaded or managed through the Garmin Golf app. 

    Once you have confirmed the golf course maps on your epix are up to date install through the Garmin Express program...take the watch outside, open the Activity menu > Select the Golf option > Allow the watch to locate satellites and the golf courses nearest to your GPS location will display on the screen of the watch for you to select the course you are playing the round at. 

    If you continue to have concerns with your epix not located nearby courses when starting the golf round on your epix...please contact Garmin Support to speak with a Golf Specialist to determine what else could be causing the issue. 

  • I have had this same issue. I have been in strong GPS signal areas and the watch continues to say ‘no courses found’ 

    I have restarted the watch, re paired my phone and messed around with different satellite options, all with no success. Any help?

  • I recommend opening Map Manager on your watch > Scroll through the list of maps showing installed from the first list that appears once Map Manager is opened > Then confirm your watch is showing CourseView Americas is showing installed. 

    If your watch is connected to WiFi, there may be an alert next to the map types, and if your watch is showing "Update Available" or "Queued" next to "CourseView Americas" then connect your watch to a non-computer, regular USB charging adapter and install the update for the CourseView map version needing installed. 

    You can also update and manage your maps using Garmin Express on a home computer following the steps outlined on the Garmin Support page here: Update Golf Courses and Device Software on a Watch With Pre-Loaded Maps This support page also outlines how to update and manage CourseView maps using Map Manager as well.
