Shot Pattern Pricing

Shot Pattern Free gives you GPS distances, course maps for over 40,000 courses, a live wind meter, and one preset dispersion size. Premium unlocks the full experience: customizable dispersion sizes, round entry with shot tracking, strokes gained analytics on every shot, course elevation data, Strackaline green maps, and the ability to share data with your coach. Premium is $99 per year with a free 7 day trial.

Yes. Shot Pattern's GPS and dispersion overlay features can be used during tournament and handicap rounds. When you enable Tournament Mode, features that are not permitted (like live strokes gained and the Strokes Gained Predictor) are automatically hidden. The wind meter uses publicly available weather forecast data, which is explicitly permitted under the Rules of Golf Rule 4.3a(2). Elevation markers are displayed in a static way and do not reference your live position on the course, just like a paper yardage book. You get full course strategy tools without worrying about a rules violation.

Shot Pattern is the only golf GPS app that overlays your personal shot dispersion onto the course map in real time so you can pick smarter targets before every shot. Unlike Arccos, Shot Pattern shows strokes gained on every individual shot, not just by category or club. The Strokes Gained Predictor goes further by projecting your own historical data onto the hole you're playing, giving you club and target recommendations based on how you actually perform. And unlike Arccos, Shot Pattern requires no additional hardware. Decade focuses on course management education and does not provide on-course GPS. 18Birdies is strongest in social features and swing analysis, but does not provide the same strategy and analytics depth as Shot Pattern. Shot Pattern combines GPS with 3D Course Preview, detailed analytics, and personalized strategy into one app.

Yes. Shot Pattern includes a built in Coaches Portal. Players share a Student ID with their coach, and from there the coach can view all the same data the player sees, including strokes gained breakdowns, dispersion stats, and round history. Dozens of college programs and golf academies already use Shot Pattern as their primary stat tracking platform. Coaches can observe for free. Only the player needs an active subscription.

You can upload data from any launch monitor (Trackman, Mevo, GCQuad, etc.) to build your shot dispersion faster without waiting for on course rounds. Export your session data to a spreadsheet, format it to match the Shot Pattern template, and upload the CSV through the app. There is a step by step video tutorial available on the Shot Pattern YouTube channel.

Shot dispersion is the pattern your shots create around your intended target. Every golfer has a natural spread, and most golfers don't account for it when picking targets. Shot Pattern shows you your real dispersion as a visual overlay on the course map so you can aim where your miss pattern stays out of trouble. It is the same concept tour pros and their caddies use to plan every shot.

Yes. Shot Pattern features automatic swing detection on Apple Watch. The Watch records the location of your swing, automatically deduplicates practice swings, and lets you select your club directly from your wrist. You can also set the pin location using GPS from the Watch without touching your phone. For golfers who want to track every shot without pulling out their phone, the Apple Watch integration now handles full on course tracking in just a few taps.

Yes. Shot Pattern subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID, and you can cancel at any time through your iPhone's subscription settings. If you cancel, you'll retain access to Premium features through the end of your current billing period.
