Golf, like many other sports, has a lot of equipment. Of course, this is because golf is an expensive sport to get into and maintain.
From the golf bag you carry around on your back to the shoes that keep you grounded on the fairway or links, there are plenty of things to buy when getting ready for a round or tournament.
The same can be said about apps for those who use their iPhones as a training aid: there are scores of them out there! Here are my top picks for apps that will help improve your game from tee-off to putting green:
Golf Pad
Golf Pad is a free golf app for iPhone that gives you access to golf course information and statistics. You can use it to track your games, share them with other players, and get advice from seasoned pros.
Golf Pad offers several different ways of tracking your game:
Shot Tracking - you enter the details of each shot, and the app will calculate your score based on those details. This feature is great for beginners or anyone who doesn't have time to keep score manually during each hole but still wants an accurate record of their performance at the end of the round.
GPS Yardage - this feature allows users who know how far they hit each club but not where it landed (or vice versa) without knowing where they're supposed to land their shots! The app provides detailed maps so players can easily identify hazards like ponds or trees ahead while planning their next move without having any distractions during playtime!
Shot Tracker with GPS
Shot Tracker with GPS is one of the best golf apps for iPhone. It allows you to track your shots in real time, giving you accurate distances to any point on the course.
This app also lets you see real-time GPS distance to the front, middle, and back of greens and hazards on your screen during play. You can use this information to improve your game by knowing exactly where every shot lands so that you can adjust accordingly next time around!
Swing Analyzer
Swing Analyzer is a golf app that allows you to analyze your swing and get feedback. The analysis function comes with some pretty advanced features, like being able to see what club you used, where on the face of the clubface you hit, how fast or slow your tempo was (more on this in a minute), which way you were aiming at impact and more.
The app also gives tips on improving your game based on what it sees in your swing data. For example: if you're hitting too many shots right or left off target, then maybe try adjusting something in your setup before taking another shot. Videos showing how professionals do certain things so amateur players can learn from them!
Swing Man 3D
Swing Man 3D is a great golf app for beginners and is available for iOS and Android. It's a great way to learn how to play golf, with detailed video tutorials and interactive 3D animations.
The app also allows you to create your own course or play on one of their pre-set courses, which include Pebble Beach Golf Links, Augusta National Golf Club, and Royal Troon Golf Club.
SkyPro Golf Coach
SkyPro Golf Coach is a golf app that helps you improve your game. It features over 100,000 tips, training videos, a swing analyzer, and a tracker. The app allows you to track your progress over time to see how much improvement has been made.

Golf Simulator 2.0
A golf simulator is a powerful tool that can help you improve your game. If you have access to one, use it! If not, plenty of other apps are available for your iPhone (and other devices) to help improve your game.
The Golf Simulator 2.0 app has been around for quite some time now and has developed quite a following among golfers looking for an easy way to get out on the course without having to leave home or spend any money on gas costs.
This app allows users worldwide to access courses from around the globe through their phone screen without ever having stepped foot onto them before - providing them with every detail about each hole, including distance markers and course conditions such as wind speed/direction.
iGolf GPS*
iGolf GPS* is a golf app for iPhone. It allows you to track your game, record your score, and share it with friends. The app also allows you to measure the distance of shots in real-time so that you know exactly how far out of bounds they are or if they will land on the green.
GolfBox
GolfBox is a free app available for iPhone and Android. It has a course finder, a course reviews section, a golf club distance calculator, and more.
GolfBox has been around since 2013 and is one of the most popular apps in its category. The interface is clean, easy to use, and intuitive, so you won't have any trouble finding your way around it, even if this is your first time using an app like this one.
You can search for courses near your location (i.e., “golf Manhattan” if you are a New Yorker) or try using their handy maps feature, which lets you filter results based on various criteria such as price range or rating score (out of 5).
The app also has an extensive database with over 200k+ golf courses included, so there should always be something nearby, no matter where you plan on going next!
Conclusion
So, what's the best golf app for iPhone? The answer is simple: it depends on what you want out of your app. If you want a simple way to track and share scores with friends, then Golf Pad is perfect.
If you're looking for something more advanced with swing analysis features, then Swing Analyzer or Shot Tracker with GPS are great options. If all else fails, we recommend checking out SkyPro Golf Coach--it's one of the most popular apps on the market today!
