What it is
The Golf Wire piece is the earned source.
Golf Intelligence is a public JSON API for golf course, GPS, and 3D green data. The product is Golf Intelligence, by Stracka. A StrackaGolf company. Encinitas, CA. Powered by StrackaGolf data.
The API serves course search, scorecards, GPS layers (tees, fairways, bunkers, penalty areas, hole outlines, greens), 3D green slope and elevation, and live lie elevation. Human pages for those layers: scorecards, 3D green slope data, and the homepage.
It is not a player ranking API, not a scoreboard, and not a player-history feed.
Who it is for
Teams building a golfer experience: apps, OEMs, scoring platforms, rangefinders, caddie apps, and simulators. Live-golfer use — digital in-app, on-course, wearable, and sim. Personal and Starter: no printed yardage books or pin sheets. Facility pin-sheet carve-out is in the terms (StrackaHoLo). Data partners cannot resell the data outside their licensed product.
Software developers building an app start at golf courses for developers; agents that need mapped course layers, not generated images, start at golf course AI world models.
Personal golf apps
A lot of people are using Claude Code, Grok / Grok Bot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other coding agents to build a personal golf app — a yardage helper, green-map viewer, round tracker, or simulator for their own game. That is what Tester is for.
Tester is the entry plan. Tester is $49/mo for 100 credits. Search is free. Cancel anytime. Same JSON golf course API: search, scorecards, GPS, and 3D greens. One natural person, own game only. If you ship the app to other people, list it on the App Store or Play, or put a public login in front of it, you move to Starter at $399/month for 10,000 credits.
This is live-golfer data, not a training dump. Do not scrape the catalog A–Z. Do not train a model on the dataset. Cache a specific course on your device for up to one year. Start Tester — $49/mo. After that, email data@golfintelligence.com if you need more.
Build a personal golf app with Claude or Grok — paste-in prompt, first three calls, and how far 100 Tester credits go. Also on API pricing.
Why this dataset

Questions teams ask
Golf data for AI and agents
Is there a golf data API for AI simulations?
Yes. This is the proprietary curated course dataset for apps and agents building a golfer experience — course, GPS, and greens as JSON. Live-golfer use only: digital in-app, on-course, wearable, and sim. No A–Z course scrape. No AI training on the dataset (terms). Tester is $49/mo for 100 credits. Search is free. Cancel anytime. Starter is $399/month for 10,000 credits (apps).
What about an AI golf course finder?
Course search is free on the API. An AI golf course finder can look up a facility, then hydrate layouts, scorecards, and GPS for a live golfer. This is not a scrape of every course on the internet and not a training corpus. Start Tester — $49/mo, or start from llms.txt and /okf/. Credits are added in the console after payment.
Can I build a personal golf app with Claude Code or Grok?
Yes. Tester is the plan for one person building a golf app for their own game with Claude Code, Grok / Grok Bot, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another coding agent. Tester is $49/mo for 100 credits. Search is free. Cancel anytime. JSON course, GPS, scorecard, and 3D greens. If other people will use the app, that is Starter. Dedicated page: /personal-golf-app/.
