Building a golf app from scratch is complex. You need accurate course maps, GPS coordinates, green slopes, scoring data, and more. Collecting all that information yourself? That could take years.
Golf Intelligence simplifies this process. As a professional golf data provider, we offer comprehensive golf course data API access that powers everything from simulators to shot-tracking apps. Our database covers every golf hole worldwide, giving developers the foundation they need to create innovative golf technology faster.
Whether you’re building a VR experience, a golf shot tracking app, or need detailed golf course mapping data, we’ve got the infrastructure ready. Let’s explore what makes Golf Intelligence the go-to partner for golf app development data.
What Makes Golf Intelligence Different?
We’re more than just a data provider. Golf Intelligence is your complete integration partner for golf data analytics. Our services extend beyond simple course information to include specialized features that serious golf tech companies need.
Comprehensive Golf Course Data
Our golf course database is the most extensive in the industry. Every golf hole worldwide is mapped and documented with precision. This includes:
- Complete course layouts and hole information
- Golf GPS data for accurate distance measurements
- Detailed facility maps showing practice areas, driving ranges, and clubhouses
- Weather data including Wind Rose information for each course
Advanced Green Technology
Putting can make or break a round. That’s why our 3D green slope data includes putt prediction technology from StrackaLine. This gives golfers incredibly accurate reads on every green, helping them visualize break and speed before they stroke the ball.
Strokes Gained Analytics
We provide surface data for Strokes Gained data collection, allowing golfers to analyze their performance against benchmarks. This golf shot analytics capability helps players identify exactly where they’re gaining or losing strokes compared to the field.
Scoring Data at Every Level
Our golf scorecard database and golf statistics database include scoring information from over one million golfers. This covers professional tours, college competitions, and amateur play. It’s perfect for apps that need real-world performance data or want to offer comparative analytics.
Our Private Label GPS and Shot Tracking Solution
Not every company wants to build their app from the ground up. That’s why we offer a turnkey private label solution that you can brand as your own.
GPS App Technology Features
Our golf stats tracker technology is production-ready and includes:
- Private label branding customized for your company
- GPS distance information from tee to green
