Open data

The UK golf course dataset

A free, open list of every golf club in the UK — with GPS coordinates

When we started The Stimp, one of the most frustrating jobs was simply getting a complete list of UK golf clubs and where they are. There wasn't a good free one. So here's ours — 2,400+ clubs, with names, locations and GPS coordinates, free to download and build on.

Use it for a map, an app, a bit of analysis, or just to save yourself the week we spent assembling it. All we ask is a credit and a link back.
