you play it.

• Every hole, in 3D

  Fly each hole from the tee to the flag over satellite imagery and real terrain, with the mountains and the estate around it.

• Shot by shot

  The shots a good club golfer would play: where to aim off the tee, where to lay up, and the side to come in from.

• Hazards, with the numbers

  Water, sand and trees called out as you reach them, with the carry you need and the distance to get there.

• The wind, for every shot

  Live wind at the course, called for each shot as helping, into you or across, and how much a hole plays uphill or down.

• A caddie in your ear

  A local narrator walks you round: the tee, the shots in play, the green, and a little of the course's history.

• Made for your phone

  Opens straight in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop. Pick your tees and the distances follow.
