📋 Course Prep
⛳ Play & ScoreNeeds an uploaded session
A strategy plan for a course you are about to play, from your dispersion.
What it does
Course Prep builds a hole-by-hole game plan from hole data: search a course and let the AI build the holes, scan a scorecard or yardage book, or type par and yards by hand. It then suggests tee-shot targets and approach strategy from your real dispersion rather than your optimism.
When to use it
The night before a round on a course you do not know.
How to use it
- Choose Search Course, Upload Scorecard / Yardage Book, or Manual Entry.
- Review the hole data, then read the plan per hole.
What you'll see
- Suggested clubs are chosen to keep your dispersion ellipse in play, not to maximise distance.
Tips
- Want the plan on the map while you play? Use Prep a round in Course & Rounds instead — it draws the plan on the hole and shows it live.
Frequently asked questions
Course Prep vs Prep a round?
Course Prep is a written strategy from hole data; Prep a round is the map-based plan inside the live caddie. Use the map version when the course is mapped.
