## What is PinWeather Golf?

PinWeather gives you the golf forecast your weather app can't. 

Every forecast is pinned to your course's exact GPS coordinates, not the nearest airport, not the closest city. Using two world-class weather models (NOAA HRRR at 1-2 km resolution and ECMWF for extended outlooks), PinWeather delivers 14-day forecasts built specifically for golfers.

SHOT IMPACT CALCULATIONS
PinWeather doesn't just show you the weather, it tells you what it means for your game. See exactly how wind, temperature, altitude, and rain affect your carry distances, backed by TrackMan data. Know how many yards you'll gain downwind or lose into a headwind before you step to the tee.

PLAYABILITY SCORES
Every day gets a letter grade from A+ to F based on temperature comfort, wind severity, precipitation, and conditions. Pick the best day to play at a glance.

LIVE WIND COMPASS
See wind direction on four different compass views. Know instantly whether you're facing a headwind, crosswind, or tailwind and how many clubs to adjust.

DUAL-MODEL FORECASTING
Two weather models, intelligently blended. HRRR leads for today and tomorrow with hyper-local precision. ECMWF takes over for days 3-15. PinWeather always shows which model is driving the forecast and how much they agree.

HOUR-BY-HOUR DETAIL
Tap any day for a full 24-hour breakdown with temperature curves, wind speed and direction charts, and precipitation probability, all with shot impact context.

PRO FEATURES
Upgrade to Pro for the complete golf weather toolkit:
- Unlimited pinned courses, save every course you play
- 10-year historical weather, month-by-month averages for trip planning
- AI rain nowcasting, minute-by-minute rain predictions up to 4 hours out, powered by Rainbow.ai
- Live radar, animated precipitation radar overlaid on your course map in real time

Every course you'll possibly need. Free to use and no ads.

### 5/5 — Solid golf app, actually useful

*2026-06-23*

There are so many golf apps that are difficult to navigate while on course, have bad data, and simply aren’t useful in real world settings. This is not that. This app was extremely helpful and actually changed my round upside down (in a good way). I got real time weather data and wind direction while walking up to the tee, and changed clubs because of the data. Hit the best shot of my life. Thank you PinWeather. Stay braced.

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2026-03-28*
