Who it is for
Golfers who want in-person instruction and need to find a coach nearby.
PGA – Play Golf
Find and book lessons with PGA of America coaches
Overview
What PGA – Play Golf does
The PGA of America publishes this app to connect golfers with its member coaching professionals. Search narrows by playing goals, current skill level, location and available times, so a shortlist reflects lessons that can realistically be attended.
From there the app supports comparing what each coach offers, checking open slots in their schedules, and booking. Example prompts in the record are as direct as naming a city and asking for a coach, or asking to book a swing lesson.
This is a matching and scheduling tool rather than an instructional one. The teaching happens with the professional who takes the booking, and the record positions that in-person work against tips and videos found online.
What stands out
The coaches listed are PGA of America professionals, with availability and booking handled in the same flow.

Where PGA – Play Golf is listed
PGA of America ships this on both marketplaces: PGA – Play Golf is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
PGA – Play Golf publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under the Other bucket publishes 10, so this one sits 7 tools below its bucket's median, 17th of 22.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 3 tools, matching the 3 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

PGA – Play Golf publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

PGA – Play Golf carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
