When a hole has no layout
Course maps come from OpenStreetMap, where volunteers draw the holes. If a hole isn't mapped yet, the app tells you and asks you to tap the green you're playing to on the map. It remembers your choice for next time.
You can also pin the hole yourself as you play. Standing on the tee, tap Pin the tee here (it then shows Tee pinned ✓). On the green, tap ⛳ I'm on the green: pin it. Pinned positions make distances on that hole more accurate next time.
Moving to the next hole
With Follow me on, the app can notice when you walk onto the next tee and offer to move on. It never changes hole by itself. You can turn this off in Options.
Accuracy: phone GPS is usually accurate to about 5 metres. Distances are approximate, so treat them like a yardage book rather than a laser.
Choose yards or metres in the app's settings.
