Golf is all about adaptability. From adjusting to changing course conditions to tweaking your club selection, flexibility is key. That’s why VPAR’s Custom Hole Configuration feature is such a game-changer, allowing you to set a start hole and an end hole before you even tee off.
Why This Feature Matters
Whether you’re playing a casual round, competing in a shotgun start, or tackling a unique routing at your local course, being able to predefine your hole sequence provides a seamless experience. No more manually skipping holes or trying to remember where you should be heading next—VPAR has you covered.
Ideal for Twilight & Time-Sensitive Rounds
Sometimes, you don’t have time for a full 18 holes. Maybe you’re squeezing in a quick nine before sunset or playing an abbreviated round due to course conditions. This feature lets you define exactly how many holes you plan to play and ensures your scorecard reflects your custom routing.
Stay in Sync with Your Playing Partners
If you’re joining a group already mid-round or splitting a round across multiple sessions, having the ability to set a specific start and end hole ensures your scorecard stays aligned with the group. Everyone sees the same leaderboard, making competitive and social play more streamlined than ever.
Enhances Course Variety & Personal Challenges
Want to shake things up and play the back nine first? Or maybe try an alternate routing for fresh challenges? The Custom Hole Configuration feature allows you to personalize your golf experience beyond the traditional front-to-back setup.
