Golf is a game of strategy as much as it is about skill—every shot counts, and every decision matters. From tricky doglegs and looming water hazards to lightning-fast putts, every choice shapes your round—and could be the difference between a birdie or a blow-up. That’s where the 18Birdies Notes feature comes in, allowing you to plan your rounds, track your decisions, and access your game plan right from your GPS screen.
Ready to get the most out of every hole? Let’s break down how the 18Birdies Notes feature can help you shoot lower scores.
Personalized Course Management
Every golfer plays the same course layout, but how we approach a hole varies dramatically based on our skills, experience, and strategy. With the 18Birdies Notes feature, you can prepare before your round by creating a plan that’s tailor-made to your strengths and style.
Maybe you’ve learned that the 5th hole always tempts you with a risky carry-over water or that the par 3 on the back nine requires a little finesse with club selection. Using Notes, you can track these little insights and revisit them each time you play, allowing you to approach every hole with a strategy that’s ready to lower your score.
And if you're a Premium subscriber, you can take your planning to the next level by using Shot Dispersion Insights to see how each club performs across your rounds. Whether you're playing with a 7-iron or a driver, you can see your shot patterns and plan accordingly, making smarter decisions for every shot.

Perfect Memory and Permanent Record Keeping
We’ve all been there: you hit a great shot or learn a valuable lesson on the course, but the details slip away as soon as you leave the course. That’s where keeping a permanent record of your rounds can make a big difference in your progress.
Using the 18Birdies Notes feature, you can write down everything from your round that you would want to remember—club selections, wind conditions, how you played specific holes—so you can revisit what worked and what didn’t.
Over time, your Notes can build a horde of information that can serve as a powerful tool for improvement. You’ll be able to see patterns and trends in your game, and you’ll learn what strategies and shot selections are truly helping you play your best. It lets you create a personal playbook that makes your course management smarter and more strategic, helping you feel more every time you step up to the ball.
Better Focus and More Confidence
Golf rewards clarity and the Notes feature gives you just that. It’s your go-to for remembering the smart plays and avoiding the not-so-smart ones. When you're standing on the green or lining up your approach, having those insights right at your fingertips keeps your mind clear and locked in on the task at hand.
The best part? When you can rely on a plan you’ve crafted, confidence takes over. With every stroke, you feel more assured because the strategy isn’t new; it’s one you’ve tested, tweaked, and trusted, all thanks to your personal playbook.
