What is Dewy Golf?
Dewy Golf is an automatic golf scorecard for iPhone and Apple Watch. The phone stays in your pocket while you play, and the app tracks each shot, places it on the map, and keeps the scorecard up to date. Apple Watch is optional: tap Swing or Putt on your Watch, or let Dewy Golf count for you.
Do I need any special hardware?
No. There are no club sensors to buy, no tags to attach, and nothing extra to charge. Dewy Golf works with iPhone alone, or iPhone plus Apple Watch. You need iOS 26 or later, and watchOS 26 or later if you wear a Watch. The Watch app needs the iPhone app.
How does automatic shot tracking work?
Motion sensors in your iPhone and Apple Watch pick out the impact of a real golf swing and discard practice waggles, stretches, and unrelated movement. GPS places each shot on the course map. Tap Swing or Putt on your Watch, or let Dewy Golf count for you. We measure scoring accuracy for every new model and publish the results. See scoring accuracy
Does it work without a cell signal?
Yes. When you start a round, the course is saved to your phone. Scoring runs on your iPhone and Apple Watch, so weak coverage on the back nine is fine. If you are signed in, your round syncs to Dewy Golf's servers once you are back in range.
What are Game Passes? How do subscriptions work?
A Game Pass is a one-time purchase that unlocks one round for $0.99 through the end of 2026, then $3.99 from January 1, 2027. Yearly is $49.99 for the 2026 launch offer, with a 1-week free trial. Yearly Family is $79.99 for the 2026 launch offer, shared through Family Sharing. Renewals from January 1, 2027 are $69.99 per year for Yearly and $99.99 per year for Yearly Family. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. All payments are handled by Apple through the App Store, and you can manage or cancel anytime from your Apple ID settings. Refunds follow Apple's standard refund policy.
How do I pair the Apple Watch app?
Install the Dewy Golf companion on your Apple Watch from the Watch app on your iPhone. Once both apps are installed and signed in to the same Apple ID, the watch pairs automatically when you start a round on either device. No extra setup is required.
Which courses are supported?
Dewy Golf covers ~17k courses across the United States, and most come fully mapped. More countries coming soon. If your home course is missing, contact us through the in-app support link and we will get it added.
What data is collected, and how do I get help?
When you are signed in, your rounds, scores and account sync to Dewy Golf's servers, and they are deleted with your account. When you are signed out, your rounds stay on your device. To help map courses, the app always sends anonymous location data that carries no user ID, whether or not you are signed in. Raw swing sensor data and anonymous analytics and diagnostics are off until you turn them on in Settings. Health data stays on your device. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising. Full details are in the Privacy Policy. For anything else, reach us from the Contact page.
