The Official Rules Of Golf App Reviews

Great tool to use. Very easy to use.

Great app. User friendly after a little practice.

I love this App. Very helpful and very easy to navigate.

If you play golf this has to be on your phone.

The app is great. Easy access to the rules.

As someone entering into the PGA professional program; this is a great resource to have on all my devices in the pro shop!

Use this app multiple times while playing in Amateur Tournaments when in doubt of rules. Very easy to use. This way you have no dispute with other golfers in your group of any rule. LOVE IT

Great interface with this app. Happy with it!

While, the publication of the Rules alone is pretty straightforward. In use, the Decisions often are needed. Having a cross-referenced Index for the Decisions would be extremely helpful. You've already done the work in the print edition. Please add it to the App.

Great app highly recommend it

This is a great app to have on your phone. When your out on the course and you need a rule question you got them right here.

Has provided quick resolutions to disputes

Mirrors the rules and decisions, which is good. However they removed the "Contents to Index" part and rely on the search capability which is terrible. Need to put this back in as it was in the previous release.

Since I always have my phone with me, I now have a rule book with me

The USGA makes it easy and convenient to learn and use the RULES. No excuses now!!

Great to have while on the course, or anywhere, should a rules question arise.

Love this app. Thank you USGA!

This app contains the full text of the USGA / R&A rules, organized to quickly access the rule for any situation on the course. Very handy and easy to use. I also recommend the optional companion "Decisions" module, which aids in the interpretation of the rules and how they are applied.

I am an active Rules official and this app is on all my devices. If it only had a word search, it would be even better. It really needs the Decisions Index that the physical book has.

This app is great! Perfect for on the course rulings. Decisions section are great for a deeper understanding of a specific rule.

Why no Index?? Previous versions had a Index which is so essential. Search function is not a substitute. Bad.

Almost as needed as your clubs. Really helps out when a rules expert is wrong. A must have

Love the app, but would really like the ability to highlight or underline key phrases.

The Rules of Golf is a great App. It's basically the mini rules book on an App. It really helps if you forget the book, or if you prefer the App version. It is easy to read and easy to navigate. I definitely recommend this App.

As an active Rules official I used to keep a copy of the Decisions book with me whenever I travelled. I now use the app and find the more I use it the easier it is to use. The addition of an index would be nice but the search feature works fairly well.

Great tool. I volunteer with junior golf groups, and having the rules handy on my phone is extremely effective.

I am a rules official for a PGA Section and frequently use this app because it lets yo move between references with a simple touch and then you can go back to where you were with another touch. I wish it also had a way to listen in audio.

Keyword searching is best feature. Wish at times it was more inclusive or intuitive to scenarios. Altogether better than the old rule book. Love that the Decisions book is inside the same interface.

Whether I'm on the course and need a quick glance at the rules, or prepping for the annual USGA rules exam, it's great to have this app on my phone and iPad. All the Rues and Decisions at your fingertips.

All the rules and decisions are here, and it is easy to find the appropriate ruling. (It helps to know a bit about how the rules are organized.) The search function is handy.

This is a great app! Very useful to find and decipher the rules. 👍

Whenever there is a dispute requiring a decision, the relative decision is found by the time the user of the decision book just found the index. It is hard to understand that the paper book is still being issued especially now there are more in between updates.

Great app easy to navigate very nice for on the course quick reference

Very helpful on the go even as you drive your golf cut for your next shot!

Just updated, but failed to add iPhone X support.

Great resource when I needed Decisions Book. Easy to find what I needed and ability to share information. Thanks USGA!

This app is a must have.

As most of us grow older our vision degrades and we need vision help. The iphone has heloed tremendously with the ability to enlarge the default text. I this app would utilize this capability. As a result the app is unusable for me.

Search, easy to read etc. I'd recommend that the app allow you to see the proposed rules in a different section as opposed to finding that information elsewhere on the USGA site.

Excellent app for everyone who plays golf.

Excellent app. Thanks for inventing this. Super easy to navigate from topic to topic. Searching is excellent. My favorite app!

Great tool for rules study. Only thing missing is an index as in the hardcover Decisions book. That would help!

The rules are like reading the Talmud. I'm glad a total revamp is underway. Until then, this is probably the best, most accessible collection of the rules and related decisions.

Great app for rule enforcement and learning.

Easy to use on both iPhone and iPad. Good resource on the Rules, and more convenient than stuffing the book in your pocket. Only improvement would be a more robust search function (use of "AND" and "OR" functions, etc.).

Found the app extremely useful while coaching middle school players.

Need a ruling. This app is the way to go. It even includes years of golfing decisions in the Decision portion for live incidents and scenarios relative to the rules. There are some links to videos demonstrating the application of some of the most breached rules to the USGA website. It is very easy to navigate and is updated as needed.

So happy it's an app now!!

When searching for a rule having to to use exact match wording makes it very difficult for ‘non-rules’ golfers. A more robust search engine would really be helpful. Is truly like to use the app but too difficult.

Why isn’t there any sound?

Tries to update with latest rules, but fails with the saying “Sorry, something went wrong.” Well USGA, sorry, your app is unusable.
