Golf Canada is proud to announce the launch of a new membership referral program, giving Golf Canada and provincial association members the chance to win prizes for referring others to become members.

The referral program will be running until September 15, 2025, and allows members to refer as many people as possible to increase their number of entries into an exclusive prize draw. Each member will have access to a referral link that is unique to their account that can be passed along to non-members.  

When non-members join with a new membership through the unique referral link, existing members will be automatically entered into a draw to win exciting golf prizes, including the grand prize – a twosome at Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course in Banff, Alta. featuring flight and two-nights’ accommodation. Other prizes include a full set of custom-fitted Titleist golf clubs and gift cards to Golf Canada’s e-store.  

Members can access and manage their referral links through the Golf Canada App as well as on the web. Desktop users can find their referral link by logging into their account here. On the Golf Canada App, members can access their link through the MORE tab located at the bottom right of their mobile devices, as well as through the PROFILE tab located on the lefthand side of their screen. Once selected through the app and desktop, members will have the choice to copy and share the link with peers as well as access a unique QR Code that can be scanned by players they wish to refer.

OAKVILLE, Ont. – Golf Canada is enhancing how Canadians experience the game with new features now live in its free mobile app. 

The latest update to the Golf Canada app — the No. 1 golf app in the country — has launched with version 7.3.0, bringing a range of tools designed to make it easier for golfers to track scores, connect with playing partners and get more out of every round. 

Among the key upgrades is a feature that allows users to post scores for their playing partners, simplifying scorekeeping during group rounds. 

Android users can now access the app from select smartwatches, including Fossil, TicWatch, Skagen, Tag Heuer Connected, Montblanc Summit, Samsung Galaxy Watch (Watch 4 and newer), and Google Pixel Watch. The integration enables on-wrist GPS yardages and digital scoring, allowing players to stay focused on the game. 

To encourage community growth, a referral feature has been added. Members can share a unique referral code and earn entries into a season-long prize draw when new users sign up. 

An achievements system lets golfers unlock digital milestones based on rounds played, courses visited, hole-by-hole entries, provinces played and more. Friends’ achievements are also visible, adding a social layer to performance tracking. 

Also new is advanced GPS yardage functionality. The app now provides front, middle and back green distances to support more accurate club selection and course strategy. 

Privacy controls have also been improved. Users can now choose whether their scores appear in their friends’ feeds, giving them more control over how their information is shared. 

The Golf Canada app is available as a free download from the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android. Golfers can log in with an existing Golf Canada account or create one in-app to begin tracking their game.
