"iGolf now provides the latest golf GPS technology to any golfer with a BlackBerry, iPhone, Pre or Android-enabled phone." iGolf Mobile includes precise distances to the front, center and back of every green in their portfolio of courses, as well as to custom points (such as bunkers, water or hazards) on each mapped hole. Golfers can also use the app to measure shot distance, keep score for up to four players and track their handicap and other statistics. Access to the latest golf news and exclusive opinion articles, as well as independent course, equipment and travel destination reviews also are available within iGolf Mobile. An interactive map of the first hole on every course, showing the distance to any point on the hole, is also included for free as a premium membership preview. Golfers who upgrade to a Premium iGolf Mobile Membership can access interactive hole maps with multi-level zoom for detailed shot planning on available courses. Premium maps provide distance to any point on the hole, allowing golfers to measure the exact distance to pin locations, hazards, lay-up points and any other target on the course. Premium Membership is available on a monthly ($5) or annual ($50) basis.
