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

RE: Stableford scoring on 5.0.0 — where do I enter handicaps?

Garmin - SP — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:54:03 GMT

You cannot add a handicap on the R50 within the Home Tee Hero app. You can see more about how to use HTH and virtual round scoring here:

I did create an experience support ticket for this so our internal teams can look at it for possible consideration. **

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!

RE: Home tee Hero Forward Tees par 3 bug

5655315 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:51:54 GMT

Garmin - SPWe first noticed it playing The Club at Chatham Hills golf course.

I just tested it now on Club de Golf Lachute - Parcours 1 and it did the same thing for the Par 3 #2; it set the tee box at 150yds from the pin.

RE: Home tee Hero Forward Tees par 3 bug

Garmin - SP — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:42:14 GMT

5655315 Is this happening on a specific course in the app? Or is this on all courses? If there is a specific one, we would like that so we can test it out. **

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

RE: Home Tee Hero Optimization & Multiplayer Enhancements

4873990 — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 06:47:07 GMT

To clarify when I say the classic unenhanced graphics I mean graphics the same as all of the other 43,000 courses in the current version of Home Tee Hero, not the graphics engine from last year. 43,000 courses right now don't crash on my iPad 9th gen, the 17 enhanced courses do and some are worse than others. It's ironic that I can now no longer play these iconic courses unless I switch to my android device and put up with either a letterboxed image or a stretched image, neither option being great.

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.

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 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.

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

I have version 1.0.5. on my tablet. My phone has 1.0.7. I've only been using my phone lately so I haven't tried to update to 1.0.7. But was able to update to 1.0.5. by completely deleting it from tablet then using the smart switch app to install new version.

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.

SPARROW — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 03:55:58 GMT

Hi again. Garmin just announced a new update to HTH with respect to the water hazard drop issues. It's version 1.0.7 now but I see the one I loaded to my samsung S10+ tablet is stuck at 1.0.3 and can uodate it. (Also lists the app as no longer compatibke but still works...). I also don't seem to be able to transfer the new version from my phone to the tablet again with Samsung Smart Switch, (I have not Uninstalled 1.0.3 yet for fear I will lose it altogether).

What version are you currently using in your tablet? And are you able to get 1.0.7?

Thanks.

RE: When will the update be out to fix the water hazard drop

Garmin - SP — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 14:53:15 GMT

Thank you all so much for your patience. We believe we have fixed this issue through software version: (4.20 for R50, 1.0.7 for HTH app). If you haven’t updated to the latest software version please do so, and test to see if you are still seeing the issue. If you have downloaded the latest software and are still experiencing the issue, please create a new thread and we can collect more information to continue troubleshooting.

That does seem frustrating, especially when the hardware easily exceeds the minimum requirements. Sometimes developers restrict certain devices in the Play Store because of screen-size optimization, compatibility testing, or certification issues rather than raw performance limitations. Hopefully tablet support is on their roadmap, since many users prefer a larger display for gaming, streaming, and using an Android app with a more comfortable interface.
