The app UAE golf societies run on. Live scoring and leaderboards for your society, free GPS yardages on 11 UAE courses, and an AI caddie that knows your real distances. SOCIETY DAYS, SORTED Your captain posts the event; you join in one tap. Everyone scores their own card, the leaderboard updates live on every phone and on the clubhouse screen, and results go out the same evening. The Order of Merit keeps itself all season. Captains: we will run your next event, free — fairways.ae/societies. YARDAGES THAT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE Front, centre and back on every hole of every mapped UAE course, free, without leaving the scorecard. Fairways+ adds the 3D yardage book and the Smart Caddie, which suggests a club from your own measured distances rather than from a chart. SCORE ANY ROUND Stableford, stroke play, match play, scramble, betterball or a casual knock, on any UAE course. Scan a printed scorecard with the camera. Your Fairways handicap estimate (unofficial) updates when you hole out on 18 — get an official WHS handicap from the Emirates Golf Federation at egfgolf.ae. AI THAT TELLS YOU ONE THING Film one swing and the AI Swing Studio measures tempo, turn and sway on your phone — your last five clips are kept privately so you can compare — then names the one thing to work on. Finish a round and Explain My Round says where the shots went. Both in Fairways+. AND THE REST Follow your mates, give kudos, post to the feed. Join games and societies. Stamp every course you play in the UAE Golf Passport. Head-to-head and monthly challenges scored live from real rounds. MEMBERSHIP Everything that gets a society round the course is free: scoring, societies, live leaderboards, the Order of Merit, basic yardages, the handicap estimate, the feed. Every new account includes 14 days of Fairways+. Fairways+ — the 3D yardage book, the Smart Caddie, the AI Swing Studio, Explain My Round, advanced stats and your full history — is AED 29.99 a month or AED 315 a year. Founding Member: AED 199.99 a year, held for as long as you stay, for the first 250 UAE golfers, until 31 December 2026. Prices include VAT.
