A golf data API for app developers
GPS rangefinders, scorecard apps, tee-time aggregators, social golf apps — they all need the same foundation: every course, clean, worldwide. CaddieAPI is that foundation as an API.
The problem
The hardest part of a golf app is the data you never see: assembling and de-duplicating a global course list, geocoding it, and keeping it current. Build it yourself and you've shipped a data pipeline before you've shipped a feature.
How CaddieAPI solves it
Get 37,000+ entity-resolved clubs across 180+ countries through one REST API — no duplicates, geocoded, with holes and official sites. Query by country, search, ID or proximity, and let the gateway enforce your scope. Start free on a country while you prototype, then widen coverage as you grow.
What you can build
- ✓A course finder or GPS app on worldwide, geocoded course data.
- ✓A scorecard or handicap app that resolves any course to one clean record.
- ✓A tee-time aggregator that knows each club's booking platform.
- ✓Proximity search — 'courses near me' — straight from the API.

A solo developer building a GPS scorecard app starts on the free country tier, resolves every local course to a clean record with coordinates and holes, and ships a working prototype in days — then upgrades to Global as the app expands.
Recommended plan
Free to prototype on one country; scale to Region or Global as your user base grows.
