Your whole handicap,
handled for you
Post a score and everything recomputes: your index, every Course Handicap, every differential.
Handicap Index
Post a score and your Handicap Index recalculates instantly using the World Handicap System (WHS) 2024 method.
A Stats tab that grows
See how your index has moved over the last 12 months, how full your 20-score record is, and which rounds are counting right now. More cards light up as you post scores.
Course Handicap
Add rating, slope, and par. Get your strokes for every course, as a clean whole number: on a slope of 124, a 5.5 index plays as a 7.
9 & 18 holes
Nine-hole scores convert with the official expected-score method.
Score Differential
Every round shows the differential it contributes, so you can see exactly how each one moves your index.
Private iCloud sync
No sign-up, no login. Your courses and rounds sync across your devices through your own private iCloud.
One button to add anything
Rounds, courses, and nine-hole scores all start from the same button, so posting a score is a couple of taps.
Your Profile tab
Your index, your settings, and CSV export of your full round history, together in one place.
Best 8 of your last 20, averaged
Every round gets a Score Differential from your score, the course rating, and the slope. Your Handicap Index averages the best eight, automatically.
Green bars are the eight rounds counting toward your index right now.
A number for every course you play
Save each course with its rating, slope, and par. Handicap Tracker turns your index into a Course Handicap for that exact set of tees, so you know your strokes before you tee off.

Everything free stays free
Your Handicap Index, Course Handicap, round history, stats, and CSV export are not moving behind the paywall. Pro is an optional upgrade that adds four things on top.
No ads
The occasional interstitial is gone, for good.
What Counts Next
See the score you need at your home course to lower your index, then try any 18-hole course you've saved and any score to see the index you'd have.
Deeper stats
More ways to look at your index over time.
Pro comes two ways: an auto-renewing annual subscription with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews. The App Store shows current pricing. Restore Purchases works without an account, and a switch in Settings hides the Pro teasers throughout the app if you'd rather not see them.
Free, and built to respect your privacy
Handicap Tracker is free and supported by ads, with an optional Pro upgrade that removes them. There's no account to create. Your courses and rounds live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud, which the developer can't read. You're always in control of personalized ads and tracking through the in-app privacy settings.
Frequently asked questions
The short version: it's free, it's private, and the math is WHS 2024.
How is my Handicap Index calculated?
Each round's Score Differential is calculated from your score, the course rating, and the slope rating. Handicap Tracker then takes the best of your most recent differentials and averages them, following the World Handicap System (WHS) 2024 method, to produce your Handicap Index. It recalculates automatically every time you add a round.
How many rounds before I have an index?
Your first Handicap Index establishes after 54 holes, in any mix of 9- and 18-hole rounds: three 18s, six 9s, or a combination. Until then you can still post rounds, and your 18-hole rounds show their Score Differential right away. Nine-hole rounds are held and converted as soon as your index appears.
Is this an official handicap?
No. The Handicap Index and Course Handicap shown in Handicap Tracker are unofficial and for your personal tracking only. They are no substitute for an official Handicap Index issued by an authorized golf association, and the app does not post scores to any official handicapping service. Handicap Tracker is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the USGA, The R&A, or the World Handicap System.
Do I need to create an account?
No sign-up, no login, no password. Open the app and start adding courses and rounds right away. Everything you enter stays on your device and syncs across your devices through your own private iCloud.
Can I post 9-hole rounds?
Yes. Post full 18-hole rounds or 9-hole rounds. Nine-hole rounds are combined into 18-hole equivalents using the official expected-score method, so they count the right way toward your index.
Is it really free? Why are there ads?
Yes. Tracking your handicap is free: your Handicap Index, Course Handicap, stats, round history, CSV export, and as many rounds and courses as you like, with no account. Ads are what keep that free. There's also an optional Pro upgrade that removes the ads and adds a few extras; nothing that was already free has moved behind it, and your handicap never will. In regions that require it you'll see a consent prompt, and iOS asks for your tracking preference; you can change either choice anytime from the app's privacy settings, and nothing in the app is locked behind allowing tracking.
What do I get with Handicap Tracker Pro?
Four things: the shareable Handicap Card as a PDF or image, no ads, What Counts Next (the score you need at your home course to lower your index, plus a what-if calculator for any 18-hole course you've saved and any score), and deeper stats. Pro is sold as an auto-renewing annual subscription with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or as a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews, and the App Store shows current pricing. Either one unlocks the same features, Restore Purchases works without an account, and subscriptions are managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
What do I need to run it?
Handicap Tracker is a native app for iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 26 or later. Optional iCloud sync uses the iCloud account you're already signed in to, with no separate account needed.
