Courses
Twenty real courses. Three hundred and forty two holes.
All of them built from public elevation data and aerial imagery, so the elevation, the green shapes and the trouble are where they actually are. Nobody drew these from memory.

There is also Limestone Links itself, three invented holes we use for testing. Par 12 over 1,143 yards. It is a decent warm up and it is where the driving range lives.
And ten more you will know on sight.
Championship courses on the Monterey Peninsula and the San Diego coast, two on the east end of Long Island, one north of New York City, one outside Pittsburgh, one on Lake Michigan, and two in the Carolina lowcountry. If you watch professional golf you have seen majors played on most of them.
We are not listing them by name here. They are built the same way as everything above, from public elevation data and aerial imagery, and they are in the app. We would just rather talk about what the software does than lean on somebody else's sign.
How they get built
Public data, not guesswork.
- OpenStreetMap for the shape of the course: fairways, greens, bunkers, water, cart paths, tree lines.
- USGS lidar elevation for the ground itself, so the hills are the hills and the green sits where it sits.
- Aerial imagery to check the two agree before it ships.
It's not perfect. Some greens are flatter than the real thing because the public elevation data isn't fine enough to catch every roll. Where we know a hole is off we're working on it.
Requests
Tell us your course.
Your home track, the one you've got a trip booked for, the one that beat you last summer. We build these as we get time and we'd rather build the ones people actually want.
No promises on when, and some courses don't have good enough public data to do properly. Ask anyway. Right now the list is mostly just where we live.
We use your email to tell you if we build it. Nothing else.
Yeah, it's a bit fugly, but it's the same experience as a Trackman simulator for less than the cost of 30 minutes on one.
