Browser-based course designer for old-timey golf game Jack Nicklaus Golf and Course Design: Signature Edition (1992).
The game came with a standalone course designer, but recreating real-life courses was difficult since there was limited ability to import reference material (a third-party utility would let you create plots from PCX images). The goal of this mostly frivolous project is to be able to use now-easily-found geographic information to quickly generate custom courses.
To use the app, you will need to serve the /app folder as a website.
If you have Node.js or Python installed, there are simple HTTP servers included which will do just that.
