Course names, coordinates, addresses, phone numbers, websites, and hole counts for the statewide Florida directory come from OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. See openstreetmap.org/copyright for full license terms.
Data was pulled via the Overpass API and reverse-geocoded to a Florida county using the FCC's free Census Area API. It was not edited or supplemented beyond adding a hole count where OpenStreetMap tagged one. Course par, yardage, and course rating/slope are deliberately not shown on these pages — OpenStreetMap does not reliably carry those figures, and we do not estimate or infer them.
Every /fl-courses/ page links to its specific OpenStreetMap source record. The build
script that produces this dataset is committed at
scripts/fetch-fl-golf-courses.mjs and can be re-run to refresh it.
Satellite/aerial images on course pages are Esri World Imagery, retrieved live via Esri's public World Imagery map service, centered on each course's mapped coordinates. The aerial is the only image on a course page that shows that actual course.
Golf pages also carry general golf photography from Pexels, used under the Pexels license. These are scenery. They are never photographs of the course named on the page, and every one of them is captioned to say so, with the photographer credited on the image itself.
The pool is pulled by scripts/fetch-stock-photos.mjs and stored in
src/data/stock-photos.json, with each photo's photographer, photographer profile
and Pexels page recorded. Assignment to a page is a hash of the page's own slug, so a given
course keeps the same image across rebuilds.
Fishing pages use no stock photography at all. Every fish, dock and boat photograph on this site is Eric Vincent's own, with locations and dates taken from each file's EXIF data.
The ten hand-researched courses in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties are independently sourced per-page — see each course's own "Sources" list for the specific official sites, news coverage, and golf-industry references used.
