Every golfer has been there. The forecast said 62 and cloudy, so you showed up in pants and a quarter-zip. It's 78 and sunny. You're sweating through your sleeves by the third hole. The forecast wasn't wrong. It just wasn't for your golf course. It was for the airport 20 miles away.
That's the problem PinWeather was built to solve. Most weather apps pull data from the nearest reporting station — usually an airport or a city center — and call it close enough. But golfers know that “close enough” doesn't cut it when you're deciding whether to play, what to wear, or which club to pull.
“The weather at the airport isn't the weather at the first tee.”
PinWeather pins every forecast to your course's exact GPS coordinates using two of the world's best weather models: NOAA's HRRR at 1–2 km resolution for the next 48 hours, and ECMWF for a global 14-day outlook. We blend them intelligently — HRRR leads when it's strongest, ECMWF takes over for the extended forecast — so you always get the most accurate picture available.
But a forecast alone doesn't tell you how to play. That's why PinWeather translates weather into golf: how many yards you'll gain or lose from wind, temperature, and altitude for every club in your bag. It's the weather information golfers actually need — not just the information that's easy to display.
