How this lens works today
- Golf is the most source-aware lens today: if the generated index file exists, golf-scene strength comes from public OpenStreetMap/Overpass counts.
- If that file is missing, the app falls back to curated golf overrides plus English-comfort, climate-fit, and value heuristics.
- Next upgrades are notable-course prestige, resort density, and better seasonal weather context.
The in-app methodology modal goes deeper on score mix, current sources, and the next public-data overlays planned for this lens.
Trust language
- Displayed prices are indicative planning estimates, not guaranteed partner quotes.
- Partner prices and booking terms can change at clickout, so verify the live quote before purchase.
- The app may earn a commission when users click through and book with partners.
- Destination scores are directional guides built from seeded proxies, public-data overlays when available, and lens-specific heuristics.
This page is intentionally lightweight so it can support long-tail search demand quickly while still handing the user into the live discovery UI with fuller disclosure and pricing context one tap away.
