FFGolf Golf Clubs · French Directory

Export French golf club contacts from the public FFGolf (Fédération Française de Golf) guide. Pick a department (or nationwide) and get one row per club: name, address, published email and phone, GPS, website and social links when the club published them.

No login. No API key. No federation account.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Golf equipment or apparel brand	Prospect list of clubs that buy balls, clubs, range gear	One department first, then All departments
Corporate outing / event planner	Courses that can host a day or a tournament	Île-de-France (78, 91, 92, 95) or your département
Agency / outbound	CRM feed with mailbox and phone	Overview or Outreach CRM view
Local authority / tourism	Territory map of golf clubs	One code, then neighbours
Data / ops	Scheduled master table of the federation	departments: ["ALL"], maxItems: 0

What you get by default. Club name, department, address, GPS, guide page, website when the club published one. Email and phone only when the federation published them — generic federation mailboxes (@ffgolf.org) are skipped. This Actor never invents a mailbox.

Paris vs neighbouring departments. Paris (75) is a small list (a handful of clubs). For more Île-de-France courses, add 78 (Yvelines), 92, 91 or 95. The default Try input stays on 75 so the first run is short.

When to go nationwide. Use All departments on a paid plan with maxItems: 0. Corsica (2A / 2B) and overseas departments are included.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Pick one or more departments, or All departments.
3. Keep Max clubs at 20 for a first run (Free plan is always 20 per run). Set 0 on a paid plan for a full export of the selection.
4. Click Start. Rows appear in the Dataset while the run is still listing other departments.

Typical coverage

On a 5-club Paris smoke run, every row has a club name, department and guide URL when the listing published them. Email and phone follow what the federation shows on the club page — empty fields are omitted. This Actor never invents a mailbox or a number.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
departments	array	["75"]	Department codes, or ALL for nationwide including Corsica. Omitted = Paris. Empty array = nationwide.
maxItems	integer	20	0 = no row ceiling. Free plan: 20 / run.
delayBetweenRequests	integer	80	Pause between club pages (ms).
maxConcurrency	integer	4	Club pages in parallel (1–8).

Examples

Paris (Try):

{ "departments": ["75"], "maxItems": 20 }

Yvelines (more courses than Paris):

{ "departments": ["78"], "maxItems": 5 }

Nationwide, paid plan, no row ceiling:

{ "departments": ["ALL"], "maxItems": 0 }

Corsica (2A / 2B) and Réunion:

{ "departments": ["2A", "2B", "974"], "maxItems": 0 }

How it works

1. Reads the public FFGolf golf guide for each selected department.
2. Opens each club page for address, email, phone, website and social links.
3. Deduplicates clubs by identifier.
4. Writes each row to the dataset as soon as it is complete.

How much does it cost to scrape FFGolf clubs?

HTTP-only — no browser. You pay pay-per-event on the Store: about $0.00749 per exported club plus a negligible run start.

Scenario	Approx. cost
20 clubs (Try / Free plan)	~$0.15
1,000 clubs	~$7.49
Full selection with maxItems: 0	$0.00749 × clubs exported

Is scraping FFGolf free?

Apify Free plan users get 20 clubs per run. Paid plans follow PPE and your max charge. Compute is cheap because this Actor does not launch a browser.

Is it legal to scrape FFGolf?

This Actor only accesses data that FFGolf makes publicly available in its golf guide. As with any data containing personal information, ensure your use complies with GDPR and relevant regulations.

Local development

cd ffgolf-clubs-scraper
npm install
apify run --input-file=./.actor/INPUT.json

Smoke (departments that actually have golf; Paris has a few clubs, Yvelines has more):

apify run --input '{"departments":["75"],"maxItems":5}'
# or: apify run --input '{"departments":["78"],"maxItems":5}'

storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json must satisfy the input schema, or pass --input-file. On local apify run, platform/CLI input overwrites overlapping keys from a root input.json.

Support
