When playing press the top right button beside the hazards icon to access distances to bunkers and water hazards. If you have button lock on you will need to press the bottom left button first to unlock the screen.

On this screen, the nearest two hazards over 100 yards will be presented to you unless there is only one or no hazards on the hole. A bunker hazard will have an icon representing a bunker shape and a water hazard will have a water icon.

Each hazard icon will be positioned either on the left side of the screen or at the right side of the screen to indicate the hazards location relevant to the hole layout. If the hazard is on the left side of the hole the numbers will be on the right side and vice versa.

Beside each hazard will be two numbers, the first number will indicate the distance to the front of the hazard and the second will be to the back of the hazard. As you walk towards these hazards, the distances will update. Once you have passed the hazard, it will disappear from the screen and the new nearest hazard will be the first hazard displayed.

If you wish to see hazards that are further away on the hole, press the top-right button beside the upwards arrow icon. This will move the hazards screen up one hazard meaning that you are now viewing on the second and third nearest hazards. If there is no arrow icon on display, this means that there are no further hazards and you are currently viewing the furthest away hazard. If you wish to return to viewing hazards that are nearer to you, press the bottom right button beside the downwards arrow icon, if there is no arrow on display, then you are viewing the nearest hazard. To navigate back to the front/middle/back screen, press the top left button to go back to the yardage screen.

Included in the course hazards, you will find lay up distances. 100 yard, 150 yard and 200 yard lay up points will show.

These are all in the middle of the fairway, and the distance to the layup point is in a straight line from where you are standing (see graphic below for a visual).

If there is a bunker or other hazard at the same place as a lay up point, e.g. 100 yards the 100 yard lay up point will not be shown on that hole.
