How It Works
From download to your first handicap index — a step-by-step walkthrough of everything you need to run your league.
- a) Go to the Post tab, tap Search Courses, and enter any part of the course name, city, or state. Tap Search.
- b) On the results page, choose a course and tee. Tap Post Score at the bottom.
- c) Select Front 9, 18 Holes, or Back 9. Enter the score, date, game type (Home / Away / Tour), and which golfer the score belongs to. Tap Post Score.
- d) The app automatically advances to the next golfer so you can post multiple scores in one session.
- a) Use this when your course is not in the database or the course data (rating, slope, par) has changed.
- b) Go to the Post tab and tap Add Course. To edit a saved course, open it from Favorites and tap Edit Course at the bottom.
- c) Fill in the required course information — course name, tee name, gender, rating, slope, and par for 18, Front 9, and Back 9.

- a) Open the app on the new device — for example, your iPad.
- b) Go to Settings and sign in with the same app account used on the source device. This is your account registered in the app — not your Apple ID and not a GHIN account.
- c) Open Membership and, if needed, use Restore Purchases.
- d) Go to Settings → Backup / Restore, tap the action menu, choose Restore Backup, and confirm. The app downloads and restores your backup.
Backup and restore between devices is manual. The app does not automatically sync data across devices, and it does not support syncing between Android devices.

Under World Handicap rules, a handicap index appears after 3 full 18-hole rounds. Under Short League rules, it appears after 2 full rounds. A single 9-hole score does not count by itself — two 9-hole rounds must be combined into one full round first.
Golf League Handicap Tracker runs on iPhone (iOS 16+), iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon M1 and later), and Apple Vision Pro. The app is only 2.2 MB.
