Detailed Review

TheGrint positions itself as a comprehensive golf companion application that combines USGA-compliant handicap tracking with precise GPS rangefinder capabilities. Developed by Grint LLC, the application has established itself as a trusted platform among millions of golfers worldwide, offering both free and premium subscription tiers that cater to various levels of golfing commitment. The application's core functionality revolves around three main pillars: GPS rangefinder services providing distances to greens, hazards, and landing zones across 40,000+ courses worldwide; official handicap tracking through the World Handicap System; and detailed performance analytics tracking fairways hit, greens in regulation, putting statistics, and other key metrics. The scoring interface allows for both individual and group play tracking, with social features enabling competition among friends and golf communities. User experience demonstrates thoughtful design with intuitive hole-by-hole navigation, though some interface elements show room for refinement. During actual play, the GPS functionality provides reliable yardages with minimal battery drain, while the stat-tracking features require deliberate user input that some may find intrusive during faster-paced rounds. The web portal syncs seamlessly with mobile data, allowing for deeper post-round analysis away from the course. User feedback indicates generally high satisfaction with specific feature requests emerging consistently. Multiple reviewers including soton hul (February 24, 2025) have requested enhanced smartwatch functionality, noting that wrist-based information access would significantly improve convenience during play. Xavier Faurens (February 11, 2025) praised the statistical depth while requesting tablet optimization and data export capabilities, while Cory Lancaster (May 9, 2025) noted responsive developer support despite some scoring workflow concerns. The application excels in providing legitimate handicap services and detailed analytics for improvement-focused golfers, though limitations exist in platform optimization and data export flexibility. It serves as an ideal solution for golfers committed to tracking their performance systematically, particularly those who value official handicap certification and don't mind occasional manual data entry during rounds.

Have been using this app since 2016 and loving it since. Do you know what would make this app over the top? Improve the app on smart watches. Watches have come a long way since 2016. I prefer to look at my wrist for shot/course info than pulling out my phone every time. Add a few animations like hole layout, distant indicator to bunker/ hazard. Drag/tap for distance. If slope of the green can be visible on my watch, it..lights out. Thanks for keeping up the great work!

They were VERY responsive about issues with the Android app. One last request would be the ability to keep up with score during a hole and not auto advance to the next hole with an automatic par, would think that would be against rules if player didn't specifically enter his score manually. Overall good though! Basically, just when you tap the arrows between holes, it saves a par as your score because it starts you off at par each hole. I'd think it should be empty until you enter any strokes.

I use this app exclusively after trying two others. The score keeping and stat tracking are excellent and I have yet to find a course this doesn't work on. Navigating to some of the features when not playing is a little clunky but for the main items most golfers want its great. We run our weekly men's group competitions off of it. It can automatically score, track skins, apply GHIN handicaps and calculate low net. Its more powerful than you think.
