For brand partners and advertisers
We didn’t build a golf app.
We built Google, Meta,
and Amazon for golf.
100,000+ verified golfers logging in 75 times a month, roughly 2.5 times a day. 15x more frequent than typical golf apps. $375k+ moved for partners in under a year, with $237k+ of that in the last 4 months.
Verified means every user has completed a GPS-confirmed round inside the app. Not inferred. Not panel. Real golfers.

Audience Intelligence
We know where they play.
And what’s in their bag.
Every GolfN user logs verified rounds and self-reports their full equipment profile in the app. First-party data on the courses they play and the brands they carry. Not inferred. Not panel.

Course types pulled from GPS-confirmed rounds against our internal course database. Equipment profiles self-reported inside the GolfN app, verified against active play. Brand share reflects our user base only, not endorsements or paid partnerships. The kind of first-party audience intelligence Meta, Google, and Golf Digest don’t have because they don’t ask the question.
The Frame
Golf marketing is broken on both ends.
We fixed both.
"30% of my Meta budget is wasted every year on inferred golfers. Wrong audiences. You know how it goes."
Director of Marketing at a major equipment OEM, to us, in person.
The audience side is broken on Meta and Google. The commerce side is broken on Amazon and search. We rebuilt both around a single verified-golfer system.
Top of funnel: Meta & Google
~30%
wasted on inferred audiences
Modeled audiences. Lookalikes. Interest panels. Buying golf reach there means paying for golf-adjacent people, not the golfers you want.
Bottom of funnel: Amazon & search

idea who’s actually a golfer
MAP gets broken. Third-party sellers undercut your pricing. Every buyer is a faceless cart. No audience signal flows back to your brand.
GolfN — top of funnel
100%
verified golfer audience
GPS confirmed rounds. First party data. Campaign reach is limited to users with verified golf activity inside the app.
GolfN — bottom of funnel

MAP-protected commerce
Points layer routes around discounting. Every buyer is a verified golfer with a known equipment profile. Cohort data flows back to you after every campaign.
We don’t compete with Arccos or 18Birdies. We compete with Meta for your demand budget — and with Amazon for your commerce.
