Common questions.
Do I need to know anything about golf to use this?
No. GolfReady was built for people who don't. Every term, club recommendation, and tip is written in plain English. But experienced golfers get great value too
Is the free tier actually useful?
Yes. The full etiquette guide, half the first-round checklist, the AI Caddie wizard, and 10 AI Coach questions per month are free forever. Premium unlocks unlimited AI Caddie uses, all 50 checklist items, and every other feature.
Does it work offline?
Install the app on your phone (it's a PWA) and the core reference and non-AI features work offline — handy when course Wi-Fi is patchy.
Do I need to be online to use it?
No. Once installed, the AI Caddie, glossary, etiquette guide, and checklist work without signal. Rounds you log offline sync automatically the next time you have a connection. You'll need internet for the AI features though.
How do I cancel?
One tap in Settings. Subscriptions renew until canceled; you keep access until the period ends.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern iPhone or Android phone. Open your browser, add it to your home screen, and it works like a native app — no app store download needed.
Is GolfReady for junior golfers and families?
Yes. Adult beginners remain at the center, and GolfReady also helps junior golfers — especially ages 13–18 — plus parents or guardians and high school players. It is designed for golfers 13 and older and for parents supporting younger golfers. There is no separate Kids Mode or independent under-13 account.
