Licenses and notices
We last checked these notices on October 24, 2026.
Home Nine itself is proprietary. It uses the data and software below, each under its own terms. If you publish a course through this service, the first section applies to you.
OpenStreetMap, and published courses
Real courses in Home Nine are built from © OpenStreetMap contributors data, available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. See openstreetmap.org/copyright.
A course built from that data and published through this service is shared under the ODbL. It carries the credit, and the credit is shown before anybody downloads it. We won't publish a real course without its credit. Don't remove the credit from a copy you pass on.
Elevation and other public data
- Elevation data from the Terrain Tiles of Mapzen, now Tilezen. They combine several national elevation surveys. Each survey's credit is listed in the game's notices.
- Public domain data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. National Weather Service.
- Tree heights from Meta and the World Resources Institute's global canopy height map, used under CC BY 4.0, where a course's tree cover comes from it.
- State and province lines from Natural Earth (public domain).
Software in the game
The game includes third-party software and models, and licensed art and sound. Each is used under its own license. Every copy of the game carries the full notices and license texts in its install folder.
Providers of this service
- Stripe — payments.
- Proton Mail (Proton AG) — the email this service sends.
The privacy policy says what each of them sees.
Trademarks
We name launch monitor makes and models so players can say which one they use, and so boards compare like with like. Those names are their owners' trademarks. Naming them does not claim any endorsement, approval or connection. The same goes for the name of any golf course. A course in the game is a player's import of public map data. It is not the club's product.
