How it works

From first tee to final putt.

  1. Find your course

    Search for where you're playing, pick your tees, and play all 18, the front 9, or the back 9. Pars, yardages, and hole handicaps fill in for you.

  2. Bring your group

    Schedule the tee time and invite friends, who get a notification. Add them to the round and they can follow the scores live.

  3. Keep improving

    Finish the round and a recap shows what it earned: challenge progress, points toward your level, and achievements. Analytics tracks your trend and handicap estimate.

Start a round

On the first tee in seconds.

Start typing and your course comes up. Choose your tees and decide how much you're playing. Add friends from your list, or just type a name.

  • Course search as you type, with each tee's yardage, rating, and slope
  • 18 holes, the front 9, or the back 9
  • Up to four golfers on one scorecard

On the course

Every hole, mapped.

See the hole you're on with the fairways, bunkers, water, trees, and cart paths around it. Turn on distances and PinHigh shows the yards to the front, middle, and back of the green from where you're standing.

  • Where the map shows a dogleg, a marker at the turn shows how far it is, so you know what to hit off the tee
  • Distances update as you walk, and a turn you've passed drops off the map
  • Par, yardage, and hole handicap from the scorecard
  • No signal on the back nine? Scores save on your phone and sync when you're back

Hole maps come from OpenStreetMap, where volunteers draw golf courses, so detail varies from course to course. Your location stays on your phone.

Rounds with friends

Your group, live.

Add PinHigh friends to your round and it shows up on their phone. They can follow the scorecard as you enter scores, whether they're in your cart or watching from home.

  • Only friends you've accepted can be added
  • They get a notification when you add them
  • After the round, they confirm it was them to count it in their own stats

Made for your group

Your crew. Every weekend.

PinHigh is built around the people you play with, from booking the tee time to settling who played best.

  • Friends

    Find your playing partners by username. They get a notification when you send a request.

  • Scheduled rounds

    Put the tee time and course in the app and invite your friends. They get a notification and can say they're in.

  • Follow along live

    Friends you add to a round see the scorecard update as you play.

  • Friends' activity

    See the rounds your friends finish, with their highlights, and cheer them on with a quick reaction.

  • It counts for them too

    Kept score for the group? Friends confirm it was them, and the round counts in their own stats.

  • Tournaments

    Playing in an event a course runs? Join with its code, play with the hole maps, and your scores go straight to the leaderboard.

Improve your game

Something to play for, every week.

Every round you finish counts toward something, so even a quick nine moves you forward.

  • Round recap

    Right after you finish: your score against your average, and the progress the round earned.

  • Weekly challenges

    Three new challenges every week, easy, medium, and hard, set from how you've been playing.

  • Levels

    Challenges and achievements earn points that raise your level, from Rookie up.

  • Achievements

    51 to collect, from finishing your first round to breaking 80. Your friends can see the ones you hold.

  • Handicap estimate

    Worked out the way official handicaps are, from your rounds on rated tees. An estimate, not an official Handicap Index.

  • Trend and score types

    A chart of your recent rounds, and how your holes break down from birdies to doubles, on par 3s, 4s, and 5s.

PinHigh Pro · Coming soon

More for golfers who want more.

Extra tools for the golfers and groups who play the most. Pro is in testing now. It isn't for sale yet, and pricing hasn't been set.

  • A challenge called Fall birdie hunt: Alex and Jamie tied for first with 3 birdies each, then Chris and Sam.

    Challenges with friends

    Challenge up to seven friends to the lowest round, the most birdies, breaking 90, or the biggest improvement. Standings update as everyone plays, and friends you invite join free.

  • Front 9 against back 9, +4.4 and +5.0 on average, and a list of courses with rounds played, average, and best round.

    Deeper analytics

    Choose which rounds count, compare your front and back nines, see your average on every hole of every course, and follow your handicap estimate over time.

  • A golf group called Saturday crew, with three friends and San Clemente Golf Course, and a button to start a round with them.

    Golf groups

    Save your regular foursome and the course you usually play, then start the round with everyone in it in one tap.

  • Starting a round with the saved Saturday skins format, net: each golfer's handicap index turns into strokes, 14, 8, and 22.

    Saved game formats

    Skins, match play, Nassau, or Stableford, gross or net, saved once and ready every weekend. Standings work themselves out as you score.

Money Round · Pro · In testing · 18+

Friendly stakes, kept straight.

Set a buy-in for the group, or a stake on your skins, match, or Nassau. Everyone in the round agrees to the terms before the first score, and at the end PinHigh shows who owes whom, in as few payments as possible.

  • A pot paid by place: winner takes all, 60/30/10, 50/30/20, or your own split
  • A stake per skin, per match, or per Nassau bet
  • Friends accept the terms first, and everyone in the money, including golfers added by name, must be 18 or older

PinHigh never collects, holds, or sends money. It only keeps track of what your group agreed, and you settle up among yourselves. Money Round is still in testing, so it isn't available yet.

A Money Round in progress: a $20 buy-in paid 60/30/10 and $2 a skin. Alex is up $42 and Jamie $18; Sam and Riley are down $30 each, with the payments that settle it.

Questions

Good to know.

What is PinHigh?

PinHigh is a golf app for you and the people you play with. Keep score for your whole group, see each hole mapped with distances to the green, follow your friends' rounds live, and see your stats, weekly challenges, and handicap estimate move as you play. It's in development.

When can I get PinHigh?

PinHigh isn't on the App Store or Google Play yet. Join the early-access list and we'll email you when early access opens.

Join the early-access list

Is PinHigh free?

Keeping score, hole maps, friends, stats, and weekly challenges are free in the app as it's built today. PinHigh Pro adds extra tools for the golfers and groups who play the most. It's in testing, it isn't for sale, and its price hasn't been set.

Which phones will it work on?

PinHigh is being built for iPhone and Android. Neither version is in the app stores yet.

Does it work with no signal on the course?

Keeping score does: scores save on your phone and sync when you're back in signal. Finding a course and loading its hole map need a connection.

Where do the hole maps and distances come from?

Hole maps come from OpenStreetMap, where volunteers map golf courses, so the detail varies from course to course and some courses aren't mapped yet. Distances are worked out from those maps and your phone's location, which stays on your phone.

Is the handicap an official Handicap Index?

No. PinHigh estimates your handicap from your rounds on rated tees, the way official ones are worked out, but it isn't an official Handicap Index.

Can my golf course run tournaments on it?

Tournament tools for events of one to four rounds, with teams, groups, tee times, and a live leaderboard, are built and in early testing. Organizer access is by approval, and opens when the PinHigh app launches.
