SAN DIEGO, CA – iGolf is excited to partner with Operation 36, a golf development platform designed to help golfers of all ages and skill levels learn, practice, and improve through a structured approach to player development. Through the partnership, Operation 36 will integrate iGolf’s industry-leading golf course mapping and GPS data, providing accurate course intelligence to support golfers, instructors, and programs using the Operation 36 platform.

Operation 36 was created to provide a more effective pathway for learning and developing golfers through a structured progression-based model. The platform is used by golf professionals, academies, junior programs, and recreational golfers to create organized learning experiences that combine instruction, practice, and on-course development. Operation 36’s approach focuses on helping players build skills through measurable goals, guided challenges, and engagement between coaches, players, and families.

Through this partnership, Operation 36 will leverage iGolf’s comprehensive golf course mapping database, providing accurate and reliable course intelligence to support its digital golf development ecosystem. With iGolf’s data spanning more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries — including detailed hole layouts, green mapping, and geospatial data — Operation 36 users and instructors will benefit from trusted course information that enhances the connection between structured learning, practice activities, and real-world golf experiences.

The partnership represents a natural alignment between two organizations focused on growing the game by improving how golfers learn and experience golf. Operation 36 provides instructors and players with a framework for measurable development, while iGolf provides the global course intelligence foundation that supports connected golf technology experiences. Together, the two organizations are helping make golf instruction more engaging, accessible, and connected for golfers at every stage of development.

“Helping golfers improve starts with creating better connections between learning, practice, and playing the game. Operation 36 has built an innovative platform that supports golfers and instructors through structured development, and we’re excited to provide the course intelligence that enhances that experience. Together, we’re helping more golfers build confidence and enjoy the journey of improvement,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf.
