About FlyAway Golf
FlyAway Golf is a golf platform built around the deepest golf course dataset published anywhere: 35,165 courses across 205 countries, surveyed hole by hole. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, was founded in 2024, and is operated from France.
Why FlyAway exists
Most golf apps hold what a club declares about itself: a name, a par, a set of yardages. FlyAway holds that too, and on top of it the surveyed geometry of the ground — how much each hole climbs, how large each green is in square metres, where every bunker sits and how much sand it holds. That is the difference between answering a question about a course with an adjective and answering it with a number. Everything else the product does is built on that foundation.
What the product does
FlyAway covers four things, and each one leans on the same surveyed dataset.
- A public golf course directory covering 205 countries, with a page for every course.
- Round tracking with GPS: digital scorecard, shot distances, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, scrambling and a WHS handicap.
- AI assistance: an assistant that answers course and rules questions, a coach that builds training plans and debriefs rounds, and video swing analysis.
- A social layer for finding golfers nearby, organising tee times, and running events and tournaments.
The dataset, in numbers
Every figure below is a count from the production database, verifiable course by course on the markdown course pages.
- 35,165 courses across 205 countries.
- 641,499 holes with GPS coordinates for tee and green.
- 586,036 holes with a measured tee-to-green elevation change, in metres.
- 1.3 million traced hazard polygons — bunkers, greens and water — with computed surface areas, over 21,211 courses.
What we are careful about
A source that hides its gaps is not a source. Member reviews and aggregated round statistics currently rest on a small number of records, so the community rankings are not yet a meaningful ordering of the database, and we say so on the pages that carry them. Course names and descriptions are supplied by clubs and by members: they are useful, but they are not verified, and they should be treated as untrusted text rather than as fact.
How FlyAway makes money
The apps are free to use, with a monthly allowance on the AI features. Premium removes the allowance and adds green elevation and slope reading: €9.99 per month or €99.99 per year, with a 30-day free trial on monthly plans. Golf clubs have a separate offering covering their course profile, event hosting and an assistant for their own website. FlyAway does not sell personal data; what is collected and why is set out in the privacy policy.
