Everything a writer needs on one page, and only things that are true. If a number or a claim isn’t here, we don’t have it, and we’d rather you didn’t invent one either. Questions: support@theyardageapp.com with “Press” in the subject.
Fact sheet
| App Store name | Yardage Golf GPS |
|---|---|
| Brand | Yardage |
| Tagline | “Distance to the green. Nothing else.” |
| Platform | iPhone (iOS). No Android, Apple Watch or web version. |
| What it does | Shows the live GPS distance, in yards, from the golfer to the mapped center of the green, as one large number that updates as they walk. A Live Activity shows the hole and yardage on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island during a round. |
| What it doesn’t do | No pin distances, no front or back of green, no hazards, no scoring, no stats, no club recommendations. By design. |
| Courses | 14,987 mapped courses across all 50 US states (11,283 eighteen-hole, 3,704 nine-hole, per the bundled catalog as of September 2026). Maps ship inside the app, so it works without a cell signal once a course is loaded. |
| Course corrections | A “Green looks wrong?” button on the round screen lets golfers mark a green’s real position. A person checks every report before the map changes. |
| Privacy | No account, no ads, no analytics SDKs, no route history. Location is used during an active round (and once for Find My Course), processed on the phone. Purchases go through Apple. |
| Accuracy statement | Yardage uses the iPhone’s GPS. GPS.gov says GPS-enabled smartphones are typically accurate to within a 4.9 m (16 ft) radius under open sky, and worse near buildings, bridges and trees. The app requires Precise Location and shows a reduced-accuracy state rather than a made-up number. We make no accuracy guarantee of our own. |
| Pricing (USD, via the App Store) | First round free. Single round $1.99 (8 hours of access). Unlimited: $5.99 per month or $29.99 per year, auto-renewing until cancelled. |
| Availability | Public beta on Apple's TestFlight, free with unlimited rounds during the beta. Coming to the App Store (Apple ID 6805063235). |

Yardage is a golf GPS app for iPhone built around one number: the distance, in yards, from the golfer to the center of the green. Start a round, pick the hole, and the number updates as you walk; a Live Activity keeps it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can check it without unlocking. The app ships with 14,987 mapped courses across all 50 states and works without a cell signal. No account, no advertising, no analytics SDK, no route history. It is in a free public beta on TestFlight now; on the App Store the first round will be free. After that it costs $1.99 a round, $5.99 a month or $29.99 a year through the App Store.

A story we can actually help with
The Golf Course Census is our analysis of the 14,987 courses in the app: counts by state and city, the split between 18-hole and 9-hole courses, and where the density is. Every number comes from the same catalog the app ships with, and you may cite it with attribution to Yardage. If you want a cut of the data we haven't published, ask; if we have it, you'll get it. Background on why the app exists is on the about page, and the product in one page is the home page.
What we can't give you
- User numbers, download counts, ratings, reviews or testimonials. We don't publish them, and we won't supply "a spokesperson says" quotes that weren't said.
- Accuracy figures of our own. The only accuracy statement we make is the GPS.gov one above, attributed.
- Anything about features that aren't in the public build. If it isn't on this page or in the App Store listing, it isn't a shipping feature.
