The golf GPS that models the wind. This isn't your grandpa's GPS map. GolfCore treats the course the way an F1 team treats a car. Lidar measures the ground and every tree, and the model moves the air across that surface the way physics says it moves: tree lines act like wings and spoilers, ridges bend the flow, and eddies roll off the canopy. You watch the wind move across the 3D course, and you get its speed where the ball leaves your feet and where it flies at the apex. Then read the green. The wind decides where the ball flies; the green decides how it bounces and rolls once it lands. Contour maps with fall lines on every mapped green show the slope it lands on and the break before you mark the ball, with true yardages to every bunker, carry and edge. 14,000+ courses are mapped green by green, out of 30,000 in the library. Find your course at golfcore.org, then play it here. ON THE COURSE • Satellite map with front, center and back yardage at every course • Distances to hazards, bunkers, carries and layups • Green contour maps from lidar: elevation bands and fall-line arrows that show how the ball will bounce and roll • Wind modeled over every hole: at your feet, at the apex, and swirling across the 3D course • Temperature and today's pin on the hole you are playing • Ask the caddie: one read of your lie, the wind and the number, in plain words • A scorecard in the map that records putts, fairways, greens in regulation, the club off the tee and your first putt • Save a course to your phone and play the whole round with no signal CADDYCORE PREMIUM Every account has the satellite map, yardage and scoring at every course. CaddyCore Premium draws the course hole by hole with its trees, maps the greens in contours wherever a green has been mapped, models the wind over every hole, puts a caddie's read on every shot, and saves courses to your phone for play without signal.
