  Are all wrong...  perhaps the holes are also wrong.

  JCT3210:

  Are all wrong

  All generalisations are wrong!

  In my experience, there's only one hole with wrong yardage (OLY #2), and another one where yardage and Par don't fit together (PIN #4).

  On the courses, there are different concepts of yardage which have been explained multiple times (search e.g. for STA #10 =>),
  and even on real courses, scorecard yardage is but a survey number, more often than not deviating from the length to play at a given moment.

  In 1-on-1 match play, look at the Scorecard and the Hole Info and you will see that the yardages listed are incorrect.  This started happening about 3 weeks ago.  Previously, one could consult the scorecard and see what was coming in a 3 or 9 hole match.  Now, one cannot look ahead.

  I don't play on mobile, thus an example screenshot might help.

  My imagination creates the option that the tee settings don't match(???)

  Hint: The blue dot on the mini map has always given the correct, beeline, yardage. It won't help you looking ahead though.

  I don't play on mobile either.  I use an iPad.  I played several 3-hole matches today and, again, yardages listed on the ScoreCard were not what I saw in the tee box for me and my competitor.  The yardages shown in the ScoreCard were all lower than they should have been.

  To me, iPad and Android both are mobile. I can't comment further without any example.

  And taking a screen shot is only 2 buttons to push.  Post some pics folks.

  From Bethpage, I saved an old scorecard, which is the first one below. It has the correct yardages for all of the holes and tee locations for that round. The second scorecard is from today.
  
  On the second card, note, for example, that the third hole is listed at 219 yards, which would be the front, right pin location (IIRC). But the location of the pin was back left. See screen shot of hole from the tee.
  
  I believe that's what the other person is referring to. And, as an aside, the 8th hole never plays to 179 yards from the back tees.
