By accessing and using FairwayDB (fairwaydb.com), you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
1. About FairwayDB
FairwayDB is a free, informational directory of golf courses in the United States. The site provides structured data about golf courses including names, addresses, hole counts, par, yardage, cost tiers, driving range availability, and geographic coordinates. FairwayDB does not offer tee time booking, user reviews, ratings, or any transactional services.
2. Accuracy of Information
FairwayDB strives to maintain accurate and up-to-date information across all 14,000+ course listings. However, golf courses may close, change names, adjust pricing, or update their facilities without notice. Cost tiers (Economy, Standard, Premium, Luxury, Elite) are categorical estimates and do not represent exact green fees.
Always verify course details, availability, and pricing directly with the venue before making plans. FairwayDB is not responsible for errors, omissions, or outdated information in course listings.
