Q: How does Geo-location / Geo-fencing work with the club app?

A: Geo-Fencing only allows a player to check-in and post scores within 3.22 km (2 miles) of the course. When using Geo-Fencing, the location of the course must be added to the Course Details. To set a course location, follow these directions:

  1. Go to Event > Course Details.

  2. Edit an existing course.

  3. Expand the "Location" option and include the Course Address (as shown below). Note:
    ​
    It is not necessary to fill in Latitude and Longitude as these can be automatically populated based on geolocation services.

  4. Click "Save."

When a player proceeds to check in or post scores on the club app, they will be asked permission for their location. If they are not within the allotted distance (3.22km or 2 miles), they will not be able to check in or post scores. Note: If a player does not give permission for the app to access location services, it will not be possible to check in or post scores.
