Fairway Finders is Australia's golf course directory. One place to find every course worth a swing — from the championship Sandbelt of Melbourne to a one-scrape-green track behind the pub in a town you've never heard of, three hours past the last set of traffic lights.
Why we built it
Australia is one of the most golf-mad countries on earth, with more courses per person than almost anywhere — yet the information was scattered across half-broken club sites, dead Facebook pages and forum posts from 2011. Want to know the green fee, whether visitors are welcome, or what the par-3 14th actually looks like before you drive two hours to play it? Good luck.
So we built the resource we wanted: every course, mapped, priced and described, in one place.
What you'll find
- Hole-by-hole maps. Every hole rendered from real course geometry, so you can see the dogleg, the carry and the trouble before you tee off.
- Green fees & access. Public, private or somewhere in between — what it costs and whether you can get on.
- Ratings & the local verdict. Star ratings and the honest word on what's worth the trip.
- Editorial guides. Where to play on a links coast, which Sandbelt course to tick off first, and the country tracks punching well above their green fee.
Every state, every track
From the Melbourne Sandbelt and the Mornington Peninsula to Tasmania's world-beating links, the WA wheatbelt, tropical North Queensland and the red-dirt outback layouts where the greens are sand and the locals roll out a square of astroturf to putt — all eight states and territories, the famous and the forgotten. We're adding courses every week as we work toward covering the lot.
Who's behind it
A small team of unrepentant golf tragics who'd rather be playing — writers, course-baggers and data nerds who between us have lost balls on most of the courses in here. Meet the team.
Help us keep it honest
Fees change, clubs come and go, and we don't claim to be perfect. Spot something out of date or know a course we've missed? tell us — or start exploring from the states and find your next round.
