The challenge

A real business problem ready for a better approach.

Sector

Golf, leisure and online communities

Golfers often have to piece together course information from club marketing pages, generic directories and weather services. A useful discovery experience needed to combine trusted community knowledge with practical information for choosing and planning a round.

The approach

From problem to working solution.

  • Designed course discovery around search, an interactive UK map and detailed course pages.
  • Combined golfer reviews, current playing conditions, local weather and community conversations.
  • Created member profiles for played courses, favourites, photos and contributions.
  • Built a scalable course-data foundation using OpenStreetMap imports and Supabase.

The outcomes

Improvement people can see and use.

  • Brings the information needed to choose a course into one coherent experience.
  • Prioritises recent, first-hand golfer knowledge over polished marketing copy.
  • Creates repeat reasons to return through conditions, discussions and personal course history.
  • Demonstrates a complete consumer product spanning discovery, community and location data.

What the work reinforced

Lessons worth carrying forward.

  • Community products need a practical reason to visit before network effects take hold.
  • Fresh condition reports complement structured course data rather than replacing it.
  • Maps become far more useful when they connect directly to decisions and local context.
