Could you build this?
Partial While the mobile app UI and basic GPS calculations are straightforward to vibe-code, accurate golf course mapping data (polygons for fairways, greens, hazards, and pin locations for thousands of courses) requires licensing proprietary databases or extensive GIS data pipelines.
What it would actually take: A production app requires React Native or Flutter interfacing with device CoreLocation/FusedLocationProvider, paired with Mapbox or Google Maps SDK. The core barrier is sourcing course boundary, hazard, and green contour datasets (typically licensed from providers like GolfNow, OpenTee, or proprietary cartography teams) and converting them into lightweight vector tiles. Developing offline map caching, geospatial distance algorithms (Haversine/Vincenty on course features), and battery-optimized GPS sampling requires specialized mobile GIS engineering.
