Fairway Journal · The golf app
Every course.
One golf ball.
Every golf course you play becomes its own golf ball in your collection, with photos, rounds and notes. Plus a map of your golf trips, your bucket list and a Golf Pass to share.
Gallery
Your courses.
In your collection
for good.
Every course you play adds a golf ball to your gallery, with the club’s logo, your photos and your notes. So every round stays alive, even years later.
- Trophies and holes-in-one with date, photo and story
- Bucket list for the courses you still want to play
- Press and hold for score, top 10 or a new ball design
- Pin, sort by date or from A to Z
Map
See everywhere
you’ve played.
Every course you play gets a pin, from your home club to that links course on the coast. And the courses near you that you don’t know yet are right there too.
Powered by Apple Maps. Your location stays on your iPhone.
Clubhouse and badges
Your golf life
at a glance.
How many courses, how many countries, your best score. And a badge for every milestone, from your third course to your thousandth.
Golf Pass
Show where
you’ve played.
Your Golf Pass puts it all in one picture: the map, your courses, countries and rounds, and your best-looking balls. For your story, your feed or the group chat with your playing partners.
Rounds

Enter your score after the game. Fairway Journal suggests the course you’re standing on and does the maths.
- Score to par and your progress over the season
- Handicap index with course rating and slope

Questions and answers.
How much does Fairway Journal cost?
Fairway Journal is free and includes eight courses. Pro gives you unlimited courses, all tournament balls, your own balls with club logo, import from Google Maps and no ads. Pro is available yearly, monthly or as a one-time purchase. You manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple account.
My club doesn’t have a ball. What now?
Design it yourself: pick the club logo from your photos, Fairway Journal cuts it out and puts it on a club ball or a white ball. Custom balls are part of Pro.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. Your courses, rounds and photos live on your iPhone and are available offline. With iCloud they sync between your devices. Only the map view, friends and purchases need a connection.
What do the colours on the map mean?
Red pins are courses you’ve played, blue ones are on your bucket list and green ones are near you. Toggle each colour at the top of the map.
Is there an Android version?
Right now Fairway Journal is available for iPhone. If that changes, you’ll read it here and on Instagram.
Who is Fairway Journal for?
For everyone who loves playing new courses: golfers who want to remember their golf trips, keep a golf journal or see how many golf courses and countries they have played. Whether you play off 54 or single figures.
What happens to my data?
Your collection lives on your iPhone and in your iCloud account. Your location is only used on the device. Details in the app privacy policy (German).
