Coach-built course strategy

Stop guessing.
Play the shot your game can actually hit.

Other apps tell you how far. Smart Caddy tells you where to aim, which club to hit and why — using satellite hole maps, your personal shot odds and strategy from an award-winning tour and college coach.

Why we're different

Most golf apps are built for yardages. Smart Caddy is built for decisions.

GPS and scoring apps like 18Birdies do a great job of measuring and tracking. Smart Caddy goes after the part that actually lowers scores: choosing the right target for your game on every shot.

The coach behind the caddie

Tour-level course management, applied to your game.

JJ Wood has coached at the highest levels of the game — Golf Digest award-winning instruction, PGA Tour coaching and playing experience, and course-management work as a Division I NCAA golf coach. Smart Caddy puts that same strategy process in your pocket.

The difference: it doesn't hand you a tour player's plan. It takes your distances, your shot shape, your miss and your confidence, then builds the plan you can execute.

“Good strategy is picking the target your misses can live with.”

The Smart Caddy approach

See every hole from above

A satellite yardage book for almost any course.

Pick your course and Smart Caddy builds the maps for you — no course pass, no waiting for someone to map it.

Google Earth-style satellite views

Real overhead imagery of every hole — fairways, bunkers, water, trees and greens exactly as they sit.

Tap anywhere for numbers

Tap the map to see the distance from the tee or your ball and what’s left to the green.

Pinch, zoom and full screen

Zoom into a green complex or pull back to see the whole hole, with yardage-book arcs at 50, 100, 150 and beyond.

Your personal landing window

An 8-yard strategy grid and your own shot window (inspired by Scott Fawcett’s DECADE) show where your shots really finish.

Plays-like yardages

Elevation and live wind are worked into every number, so the yardage you see is the yardage you play.

On-course mode

Uses your phone’s location to find your ball on the hole. No signal? Tap where you are.

Everything in your bag

Strategy, odds and a caddie that knows your game.

Your personal odds table picks the tee club with the lowest expected score — then tells you exactly where to start it.

Shot strategy, hole by hole

A game plan for every hole: target, miss side, when to attack and when to play to the fat part.

Your probabilities

See your fairway, green and trouble odds plus your expected score for each tee club before you swing.

Customized to your game

Answer a short assessment once — distances, shape, miss, confidence — and every number adapts.

Ask the caddie (AI)

Ask anything: “3-wood or driver here?” “Where’s the bail-out?” Answers use your game and this hole.

Pin sheet reader

Snap a photo of the day’s pin sheet and Smart Caddy reads the hole locations into your plan.

Mental game scorecard

Track commitment and routine, not just score, so you can see what really costs you shots.

Tournament mode

Prepare for multi-round events with a plan you can rehearse before you ever tee off.

USGA legal switch

One tap hides strategy, odds and the caddie for rounds where only distance devices are allowed.
