Product update

Introducing Course GPS in Grassy

The same app you use to rank and discover golf courses can now help you plan and score the round on a live satellite map.

Illustrative interface, not a product screenshot. Map detail and conditions vary by course.

A course-first GPS experience

Grassy started with a simple idea: the golf courses you play deserve a real place in your golf story. Course GPS extends that idea into the round. Your map, scorecard, rankings, lists, and course history now live closer together.

Course GPS is currently labeled “GPS Beta” in the app. The GPS tools are included for everyone, and availability of detailed geometry, weather, terrain, and green data varies by course and conditions.

Map, yardage, and score on one screen

The main round view combines a live satellite map with front, middle, and back yardages and your scorecard. You can stay oriented without bouncing among separate screens for every decision.

  • Switch between measured and plays-like distance. Plays-like adjustments use available wind, elevation, temperature, and altitude.
  • Drag targets to plan a line and see the yardage for each leg.
  • Use adaptive distance arcs to read useful landing zones at a glance.
  • See club suggestions when your bag is configured.

See the hole from more than one angle

Move between an overhead view and a 3D flyover to understand shape and strategy. On supported courses, interactive 3D terrain adds another way to inspect the hole before choosing a line.

Supported courses can also include LiDAR-derived green maps with slope heat and break-direction arrows. These details are not universal, so Grassy shows them where supported rather than promising the same layer everywhere.

Keep the context that matters during a round

Course GPS keeps more than the next number in view. You can review your own history on the hole, set today’s pin, optionally auto-advance while you walk, add notes, and see weather when it is available.

The scorecard remains part of the same round flow, keeping the hole map, yardages, and score close together.

How to start a GPS round

Open a course where GPS is available in Grassy, start a round, allow location access for live distance, and enter the map view. Course eligibility depends on the scorecard and traced geometry available for that course.

Because Course GPS is in beta, the clearest feedback is specific: name the course, hole, and what did not look right. That helps the map improve without making broad coverage claims the product cannot yet support.

Your next round

Keep the course and the map in one place.

Rank courses, follow friends, discover where to play, and use Course GPS Beta on eligible rounds in Grassy.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Is Grassy Course GPS free?

The Course GPS tools are included for everyone in Grassy.

Does Course GPS work at every golf course?

No universal coverage claim is made. Starting a GPS round depends on course geometry and scorecard availability, and advanced terrain or green data is available only on supported courses.

Does Grassy track every golf shot automatically?

No. Automatic shot tracking is not a current Course GPS claim. The current experience focuses on live distance, planning, terrain, scoring, and round context.

Can I use Grassy maps offline?

Grassy does not promise offline satellite maps. Plan on having a data connection for the complete map experience.
