About
Powered by StrackaGolf data
Golf Intelligence was founded by Jim Stracka. Since getting into the golf industry in 2007, the team has built course data used across StrackaGolf, StrackaLine, and partner apps. Daily course updates around the world since 2007.
Golf Intelligence has data for golf holes worldwide and makes it available so other companies can bring golf technology to market faster. The work is twenty years of proprietary course data — laser scans, drone flights, airplane, and satellite. Ten people on staff map courses every day. The public API is how new teams start — $49 for 50 credits, then Starter at $399/month.
