Your book and the data behind it
When you buy a Fieldguide Golf book, the PDF is yours to keep. Print it, make notes and print another copy whenever you need one.
You can also request the underlying course mapping and identification data at no extra charge.
We provide the complete course mapping dataset for the relevant edition as GeoJSON, including our corrections and additions. It includes mapped course features and their identifying attributes, along with the course name, location and other recorded course information. The package includes source acknowledgements, version information and applicable license notices.
To request a copy, email support@fieldguide.golf with the course name and, if available, your book’s edition or date. We handle requests manually and provide the data electronically at no charge.
Our mapping includes information from OpenStreetMap contributors. The covered course data is available under the Open Database License 1.0. You can use, modify and redistribute that data, including commercially, subject to its attribution, share-alike and other requirements.
The finished book and PDF retain their separate personal-use terms. Those terms do not restrict your ODbL rights in the covered data. This offer also preserves access rights for other recipients of relevant books, maps or datasets under ODbL.
