The City of Winnipeg is making it easier for golfers to tee up for a game of golf with a new app that is free to download.

By setting up a player profile, golfers can do everything from booking their tee times, to tracking how players do on each hole.

The app also features accurate GPS yardage for each shot, a bird’s eye view of the layout of each hole and a leader board.

The City of Winnipeg said the app cost $5,000 in total to develop. It will cost $2,000 to maintain it per year.

As of right now, the app only services Kildonan Park and Windsor Park golf courses.
