Golf Intelligence offers a comprehensive API platform that delivers detailed golf course data, GPS layers, 3D green slope information, and scoring statistics for professional, college, and amateur play. Developers can use these datasets to build custom golf applications, including private‑label GPS and shot‑tracking apps that capture strokes‑gained metrics without hardware sensors. The service also supports integration into simulators, VR/AR experiences, and green‑path prediction tools.

Problem
Golf app developers and sports platforms often lack access to detailed, high‑resolution course data, GPS layers, and advanced analytics needed to build accurate simulation, shot‑tracking, and scoring features without investing in extensive data collection.
Solution
Golf Intelligence offers a unified API that delivers comprehensive golf course information, including names, addresses, GPS coordinates, 2D imagery, weather (wind roses), and scoring statistics across professional, collegiate, and amateur levels. The platform also provides layered GPS data for tee‑to‑green distances, bunker and penalty area outlines, and 3D green slope maps (X‑Y‑Z data) to support strokes‑gained calculations. Developers can integrate this data directly into custom applications or use Golf Intelligence’s private‑label GPS and shot‑tracking solutions, which capture stroke data without physical sensors. By centralizing these datasets, the service enables rapid development of simulators, VR/AR experiences, and social shot‑sharing apps while offloading the complexity of data acquisition and maintenance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers of golf‑related mobile, web, and immersive (VR/AR) applications, as well as sports technology companies seeking to embed accurate course data, GPS functionality, and analytics into their products.
