About Simple Match Play
Simple Match Play is the simplest way to score match play golf. There are no sign-ups and no clutter. Just tap who won each hole and play on, so you can focus on your game rather than your phone.
When you want more, it’s there: Nassau bets, an augmented reality gimmie measure and a Rules Caddie for those arguments on the 14th. Made in Scotland, the home of golf.
Score in seconds
Start a match in two taps, then record each hole in one. The app works out the match status and ends it when it's decided.
Nassau mode
Track the front nine, back nine and overall matches in a single round.
Your caddie toolkit
Measure gimmies with augmented reality, track shots with GPS and get club tips for the conditions.
Settle ties your way
Choose Sudden Death, Coin Toss or Spin the Wheel, or just accept the halve.
On your wrist and Lock Screen
Record holes from your Apple Watch, and see the score in a Live Activity while you play.
Match history and stats
Every match is saved, with win rates, head-to-head records and share cards for the group chat.
