Fairway vs 18Birdies: what's the difference?
Fairway and 18Birdies don't solve the same problem: one is the club's official website, the other a personal score-tracking app. Here's how they differ — and why they're complementary.
Who is it for?
Fairway
Fairway is for the club: the organization running the golf course that wants a professional public site presenting its courses, restaurant, pricing and events.
18Birdies
18Birdies is for the individual golfer: a mobile app for tracking your own scores, handicap and using a course GPS during a round.
What each tool manages
Fairway (the club's site)
The club's public website, its own course map, restaurant, pricing, news, events and competitions, golf school — published and managed by the club.
18Birdies (the player's app)
A personal scorecard, on-course GPS, handicap tracking and individual golfer statistics — used by the player, independently of the club.
Can you use both?
Yes. A club uses Fairway for its official site and communication to members and visitors, while its players are free to use personal scoring apps like 18Birdies on the course. The two tools aren't competing: one represents the club, the other accompanies the player.
