Quick summary of multiplayer features
Garmin Golf lets you join organized competitions and chat live with friends while playing. Rounds uploaded from your device are saved to Garmin’s cloud so you can review scores, compare performance, and track progress over time.
How score upload and cloud review work
Each time you complete a round you can sync it to the Garmin Golf service. Your round data is stored online, where you can:
- compare rounds and scorecards with other players
- review stats and hole-by-hole performance
- keep a historical record you can revisit anytime
Competition types you can enter
You can take part in recurring events at multiple cadences:
- weekly contests for short-term play and leaderboards
- monthly and annual competitions for broader rankings
- private events you create yourself and invite friends to join
Host your own event
Want a custom tournament? Create a private competition, set the format and timeframe, and send invites to teammates or competitors. Live chat is available so participants can communicate in real time during the event.
