build_golf_trip

AFTER find_nearby_courses, pass its center latitude/longitude, access and holes preferences, and number_of_courses to make a 1-4 course shortlist. You can also start directly with a plain-language location (place, station, address, or US ZIP). Optional tee yardage and slope ranges rank matching tees by fit plus straight-line distance; without tee preferences, courses are nearest-first and missing scorecards are retained. Returns ranked course picks with canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, selection reasons, distance, access, holes, and published tee data when available. Public access excludes unknown/private courses; private picks require the golfer to confirm access. No booking, tee-time availability, transit routing, or drive times are provided. Use returned URLs as citations without inventing slugs.

find_nearby_courses

START HERE to plan golf near a place, transit station, address, or US ZIP: pass the place text as location, plus access (public/private/all) and holes (9/18) if known. Coordinates are optional; no slug knowledge is needed. Resolves the location and returns its labeled center and a nearest-first ranked shortlist with canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, straight-line miles, access, holes, and scorecard availability. If the place is ambiguous, ask the golfer to choose a candidate. NEXT call build_golf_trip with the returned latitude/longitude and the same preferences for 1-4 course picks. Use search_courses only for a specific course name. Copy returned URLs verbatim; distances are not drive/transit times.

These are tee-data rankings, not quality ratings or current booking availability; disclose private access.

search_courses

Search for a named course or filter the directory by city/state, access, and holes. For a trip near a place, station, address, or ZIP, call find_nearby_courses FIRST; do not put the place name in query (query searches course names). You may also pass location here for a proximity search. Returns canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, access, holes, scorecard availability, and straight-line miles when a location is supplied. Copy returned URLs; never construct county slugs. Next: get_course with a returned URL, or build_golf_trip with the resolved center and preferences.
