Launch of Golf Course Browser
A new web-based directory, Golf Course Browser, has been released, providing detailed information for over 16,000 golf courses in the United States. The platform is designed to offer a dedicated and comprehensive resource for golf enthusiasts seeking course details.
Data and Features
The directory utilizes OpenStreetMap (OSM) as its foundational data layer, cross-referencing information with course websites. It includes details such as scorecards, USGA rating/slope, and public/private status. Users can flag incorrect or missing information directly on course pages for correction.
Accessibility and Future Plans
Golf Course Browser is free to use, requires no user registration, and is ad-free. While currently focused on the US, the developer intends to expand coverage to include the rest of North America, the European Union, and eventually a global database of golf courses.
