About
GHIN is the United States Golf Association app for posting scores and keeping a Handicap Index, with course GPS and stats for how your game is trending. On the Watch you can keep the whole round going with the phone in the bag, and the Enhanced GPS upgrade adds hazard and layup distances to the wrist. Full use needs membership of an allied golf association, so it suits golfers in the US handicap system.
On the Watch, in short
Does GHIN work without an iPhone?

Does GHIN have Apple Watch complications?
Not that we list. It works as an app you open on the Watch.
What can you do with GHIN on the Watch?
Track your whole round with the phone put away. Keep score as you play each hole. See hazard and layup yardages (Enhanced GPS).
