Stableford scoring on 5.0.0 — where do I enter handicaps?

4185961 — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 07:04:50 GMT

Hi all,

Running system software 5.0.0 / GLM 4.3.0 on an Approach R50.

I set up a multiplayer Home Tee Hero round with Stableford as the scoring format and could not find anywhere to enter a handicap — neither during round setup after selecting the format, nor in the round settings during play, nor in the profile settings for any of the players. Two of the players were guest profiles, the third a profile signed in with a Garmin account.

Stableford without handicaps is just gross points relative to par, which removes the point of the format for a group with mixed abilities. So my questions:

1. Is there a handicap input somewhere that I have missed? If so, where exactly?
2. If not, is handicap support planned for Stableford and Match Play?
3. Can guest profiles (no Garmin account) be assigned a handicap at all, or is this limited to profiles signed in with an account?

For context: in Europe we normally play off a course handicap taken from a club table rather than an index/slope calculation, so a plain "local handicap" number field per player would be the most useful implementation.

Thanks.

Home tee Hero Forward Tees par 3 bug

5655315 — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:43:53 GMT

the new forward tees feature is great but there's an issue with the Par 3s. For example, my wife played the Level 3 tees and all the Par 3s were 150yds. I think the par 3s should be on the shortest tee box for anyone playing the Forward Tees feature. Looking forward to a fix!

Home Tee Hero Optimization & Multiplayer Enhancements

4873990 — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:21:29 GMT

1. Custom Screen Resolutions (Android)

The Request: Add customizable video output or screen resolution settings within the Android version of the Garmin Golf app.

Why it's needed: Users projecting to home simulator screens or casting to external displays frequently experience mismatched aspect ratios (black bars) or stretched, distorted graphics. Allowing manual adjustments for 4:3, 16:9, or custom configurations would drastically improve the premium simulator experience on Android.

2. "Legacy Mode" / Performance Toggle for Enhanced Courses

The Request: Provide a toggle switch to load the classic, unenhanced course graphics instead of the new "Enhanced Courses" layout.

Why it's needed: The newer, visually demanding enhanced courses cause stability issues and frequent app crashes on older but highly common hardware, such as the iPad 9th Generation. A performance toggle would ensure backward compatibility, giving users smooth, crash-free gameplay on devices that struggle with the new rendering engine.

3. Multiplayer Player Handicaps

The Request: Allow players to input individual course or simulator handicaps when setting up a Local Multiplayer match.

Why it's needed: Home Tee Hero is an inherently social experience, but it is currently difficult to play fair, competitive rounds when players are at vastly different skill levels. Integrating handicap stroke allocations onto the scorecard would make multiplayer matches significantly more engaging and balanced for casual groups

Feature Request: Disable Mulligans

It would be great if users could elect to disable mulligans in the gameplay settings before the start of a round.

More enhanced courses

Sol B — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:33:37 GMT

would anyone be able to provide updates on when more enhanced courses will be added to HTH? It would be awesome to see a roadmap for future releases, or even get an email notifying users when an update is upcoming and what features or improvements are part of that update. The latest update for 1.0.8 didn't list what improvements were in the update, and I wasn't able to find any differences between the previous update and the 1.0.8 update.

Why would Garmin announce the launch of HTH ver 1.0.7 regarding the water hazard drop issue and ask for feedback but then lock the thread from replies? Also... TABLET SUPPORT!

SPARROW — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:17:01 GMT

So I managed to forward HTH via Samsung Smart Switch months ago to my new tablet, and it's been working fine for the most part other than the water hazard drop issue.

So forward to today when Garmin announces HTH 1.0.7 with a supposed fix and asks for feedback if issues still persist. Then immediately locks the thread for replies...?

So I went to go try it out, but quickly realized that my phone amd tablet versions are not the same. So the tablet version (that I use weekly) has not updated since 1.0.3. Guess I should not be surprised since Garmin still refuses to accommodate those who want to play a proper Sim where they can see a screen interface larger than a few inches from 4 feet away.

Also seems I cannot again forward the new version using Samsung Smart Switch from my phone like I did before , (maybe that's because I have not uninstalled 1.0.3 for fear of losing it on the tablet altogether.? )

I would appreciate it if Garmin just gave us the same version as the phone version legitimately on Samsung Tablets. It Works - except for Garmin getting in their own way.

Custom Resolution

6869807 — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 20:09:21 GMT

Hello! Was excited to hear about HTH's enhanced courses being accessible for R10 users - the problem for me and im assuming other users, is the aspect ratio for projector setups. For people who don't have tablets, we are limited to the built in resolution the phone provides which is causing alot of blank space on 4:3 screens. It would be a massive deal to be able to adjust your resolution in app similar to how Awesome Golf does it.

Feature request: save & export shot data in Home Tee Hero

3871034 — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 02:24:07 GMT

Hi Garmin Home Tee Hero team,

I'm a daily Home Tee Hero user on an Approach R10 simulator setup, and I want to flag a gap that's holding the app back from being a serious practice tool.

Right now, shot data (ball speed, launch, spin, carry, club path, etc.) is only visible for a moment immediately after each shot. Once I move on, that data is gone — there's no way to review a shot, a hole, or a full round afterward, and no way to export it.

This is the single biggest limitation in an otherwise excellent app. Here's why fixing it matters:

Practice without review isn't practice. The whole value of a launch monitor is spotting patterns over many shots — a creeping miss, club gapping, dispersion. If the numbers vanish after each shot, that analysis is impossible. The data is already being captured and rendered; it just isn't being retained.

It's a competitive gap. TrackMan, GSPro, and Awesome Golf all let users review shot maps and pull their data afterward. For R10/R50 owners weighing a subscription, persistent and exportable data is a real differentiator — and right now it's a reason to look elsewhere.

It's a frequent, organic request. Your own App Store and Play Store reviews repeatedly ask for post-round shot maps and advanced metric review. This isn't a niche ask; it's one your most engaged users keep raising.

Specifically, I'd love to see:

Persistent shot and round history saved to the account (like the on-course shot maps in the main Garmin Golf app)

A post-round review with per-shot metrics and a shot map

An export option (CSV at minimum) so users can do their own analysis

The data already exists in the moment — the request is simply to save it and let us access it. That's a relatively small lift for a large jump in the product's value as a real training tool.

Thanks for building Home Tee Hero, and thanks for considering this.

Best,

Mark

overlapping hole scores with cumulative scores on Garmin Approach R50

2356022 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:36:37 GMT

...our Garmin Approach R50 recently started overlapping the individual hole scores and the cumulative round scores on the screen that appears after you get the par/birdie/bogey screen... these scores only appear when you have more than one player playing the course... after the last player hits, it pops up a screen for a few seconds with each players individual score on the hole just played, along with each player's cumulative score for the round... it used to have them spaced so you could see both, now they sit right on top of each other so you have a hard time reading either... this happened right after the latest March 2026 update... if you always play a round by yourself, you never see this screen with your cumulative score, which is a separate issue... it would be nice to see this hole score and cumulative score even if you are playing a round by yourself...

HTH some courses not workin on Samsung Galaxy A16 5G with 4GB Ram

7834594 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:10:00 GMT

When I load some normal courses or any of the enhanced courses HTH just bombs out.

From everything I can see my phone is supported as it's running Android 16 and has 4GB of RAM.

Can this please be investigated and fixed

When will there be a scramble option? On the Garmin r50?

5725184 — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:09:36 GMT

Been loving the garmin r50. Really looking forward to a scramble option on Home T Hero. There are many times my friends and I play a scamble on the course. Definitely days we have had some bad rounds. We decide to get out of our heads and play a 2 man vrs 2man scramble. Any idea when it will be updated with a scramble option ?

Shot maps & data Home tee hero

4891921 — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 07:45:07 GMT

Hello,

When will shot maps and data be included after a round in the home tee hero app for the R10?

Since all the data is readily available after each stroke you should be able to retrieve it for review afterwards.

Samsung Tablet is "incompatible" since New update

6460371 — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:23:04 GMT

The “Home Tee Hero” app had been running smoothly and without any issues on my Samsung tablet since the major update three weeks ago. It was a pleasure to play with. Since the latest program changes, however, Home Tee Hero is no longer listed on Google Play because the app is supposedly no longer compatible with my device.

If there is no solution, I will be canceling my Home Tee Hero subscription.

Home Tee Hero - Choose Drop Location

5403762 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 20:24:26 GMT

I hit the ball OB at Pebble Beach on the weekly tournament and it made my take my next shot from behind a boulder on the bottom of the cliff...There needs to be an option to select a drop location on the line of your previous shot. It took 3 shots to get back in play after the penalty stroke.

Why is Home Tee Hero not in playstore for brand new flagship samsung android tablets?

SPARROW — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 07:00:12 GMT

Really liking the new Home Tee Hero app with my R10. However my older phone can get quite hot and high battery consumption while streaming to TV/ and/ or charging during use. Therefore just purchased a flagship Samsung tablet in order to play on a bigger screen for better / larger interface and stunned that it is not available for download in Google Playstore. The system is way beyond the minimum system requirements so this makes no sense to me.

Are you planning Android tablet support shortly, or do I have to contemplate returning an expensive paperweight because of this massive oversight.

The new updated app is awesome, but chipping is now broken.

Braden — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:04:47 GMT

Before updating to the new home tee hero app, i very rarely had chips not read on my R10. After the update now only about 1 in 5 reads from inside 30 yards. Also first time ever having issues with the unit freezing a few times a round.

i love the new graphics but certainly would be nice to get a fix for these.
