Measuring distances on the map

Created by Anastasia Matis, Modified on Fri, 9 May at 11:13 AM by Anastasia Matis

Overview:
With 15th Club, measuring distances is more than just front-middle-back yardages. You can interact with the map to get precise distances to any point — whether it's a hazard, a layup spot, or the flagstick itself.

Two Powerful Ways to Measure

1. Distance Arcs

By default, you’ll see distance arcs around your location. These give you a quick idea of how far different points on the hole are from where you're standing.

Here’s the best part:
You can move the distance arcs!
Simply drag them on your phone or watch to adjust where they center — whether that’s the middle of the fairway, a dogleg, or your target landing zone.

Great for:

  • Planning layups

  • Estimating club carry

  • Evaluating landing zones off the tee


2. Hold to Measure Exact Distances

Need precise yardage to the front of a bunker or the flag?

Just tap and hold anywhere on the map and 15th Club will display:

  • Distance to that point from your current location

  • Elevation change (if applicable)

  • And, if you move the point again — it updates instantly

What You Can Measure

Using either method, you can measure to:

  • The flagstick – know your exact yardage to the pin

  •  Hazards – bunkers, water, doglegs, trees

  • Layup points – position yourself for your next shot

  • Greenside targets – front edge, back edge, or any angle

Whether you’re avoiding trouble or attacking the green, you have the data to make the right call.

Why It Matters

Knowing distances isn’t enough — you need to know the right distance for your game. Measuring manually gives you a deeper level of control and insight.

  • Plan smarter shots

  • Avoid trouble zones

  • Fine-tune your course strategy

  • Build confidence in club selection

No Setup Needed

This feature is ready out of the box — just open the map during your round and start measuring.

Pro Tip: Use this feature in combination with Plays Like yardages to understand how real conditions affect your targets.
