Is BEEZER GOLF Premium Worth Upgrading To?
Updated
BEEZER GOLF Premium is worth upgrading to if you regularly play betting or side games and want the app to track the money and the stats that go with them. The free version already covers the core round: a scorecard, GPS mapping for 40,000 courses worldwide, and basic stats. Premium is what turns the app from a scorecard into a game-management and wagering tool. If you play solo or casual stroke rounds and never touch side games, the free tier is likely enough.
What the free version already gives you
Before paying, it helps to know what you are not losing by staying free. According to the site, the free scorecard includes:
- A configurable scorecard that calculates scores and handicaps
- GPS mapping across 40,000 golf courses worldwide
- Apple Watch (iWatch) support
- Basic play statistics
- The ability to correct scores, add or remove players, and even add games mid-round, with automatic recalculation
That is a functional round tracker. The gap is not scoring — it is competition and depth.
What Premium adds
The site lists the Premium upgrade as unlocking:
| Feature | Free | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Scorecard and GPS (40K courses) | Yes | Yes |
| Side games and group games | No | 28+ games |
| Bet tracking | No | Yes |
| WHS-based handicap index | No | Yes |
| Premium stats | Basic | Advanced |
The headline items are the 28+ side games and group games and bet tracking. BEEZER GOLF is positioned as a golf betting games app first, so this is the core of what you are buying. If your group plays Skins, Nassau, Vegas, Wolf, or similar formats, Premium is what makes the app do the math and keep the ledger.
Who should upgrade
Upgrade if most of these describe you:
- You play betting games or side games with a group most rounds
- You want the app to track bets won and lost over time, not just today's score
- You want a WHS-based handicap index maintained inside the app
- You want deeper stats — the site specifically calls out drives, recoveries, greens in regulation, putting, and games/bets won and lost
- You want to focus practice using stat trends rather than gut feel
Who can stay on free
Stay free if:
- You mostly play solo or in casual rounds without wagering
- You only need a scorecard and distance to greens and hazards
- You do not care about a handicap index inside the app
- Basic stats are enough for how you use the data
The practical test
The cleanest way to decide is to run one real round with your usual group on the free version. If you find yourself doing side-game math on a napkin or in a notes app, that friction is exactly what Premium removes. If the round ends and you never missed the extra features, you have your answer.
One caveat worth stating plainly: the site references a Premium tier and a pricing page, but the material here does not list a price. Check the pricing page directly before deciding, since value depends on the actual cost against how often you play games that Premium supports.
