Bunker Buddies
Course Data & Attribution
Last Updated: September 1, 2026
The sources, licences, and review process behind the Bunker Buddies course catalogue.
How the catalogue is built
We combine open datasets, public course information, and corrections submitted by golfers. A course can appear before its full scorecard is available; the app only treats a scorecard as playable once every hole has a valid par. Yardages, stroke indexes, and GPS points may be added independently as reliable evidence becomes available.
OpenStreetMap
Course identities, hole geometry, and some scorecard fields include data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL).
Other sources
UK facility identities and locations may include Sport England Active Places data. Scorecard details may also include records obtained from OpenGolfAPI, whose course dataset is made available under ODbL. Source evidence is retained internally so updates and conflicts can be reviewed rather than silently replacing verified information.
Corrections and limitations
Course data changes and public sources can be incomplete. Check the physical course signage and local rules before relying on any distance, hole order, par, or stroke index.
To report an incorrect or duplicate course, email admin@bunkerbuddies.io with the course name, location, and the evidence for the correction.
