Our GPS distances are accurate to within 1-2 yards under normal conditions. This is also dependent on your phone and the network you use. We use high-quality data and regularly update our course information to ensure you get the most precise yardages possible. The app shows distances to the front, center, and back of each green. On Drift Enabled courses, we provide the daily pin locations when available from the course, giving you exact distances to the flag.
