18Birdies is a golf technology company behind the 18Birdies mobile app — a golf GPS rangefinder, digital scorecard, shot- and stat-tracking platform and social network for golfers, founded in 2014. The app combines Google Maps-derived course imagery and elevation with hole-by-hole GPS distances, 3D green maps, wind and slope adjustment, club recommendations, strokes-gained analytics, an AI Swing Analyzer, handicap tracking, side games and tournament/league management across a worldwide golf course database. It operates a freemium consumer subscription (a free tier plus Premium) with companion Apple Watch and Wear OS experiences. 18Birdies runs a production backend at api.18birdies.com that serves its own mobile clients, but as of this profiling pass it publishes no public developer program, no API reference, and no machine-readable contract.
