## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## GolfNow Scraper

![banner](https://i.imgur.com/VQDmLdf.png)

GolfNow (golfnow.com) is a tee time booking marketplace for golf courses. This actor collects structured course and tee time data from GolfNow search and facility pages.

### Introduction

The GolfNow scraper starts from search URLs or facility detail URLs, goes through available course results, and extracts structured data such as course name, address, coordinates, rating, price range, tee time availability, phone number, tags, and detailed tee time rates.

### Use Cases

- **Market research**: Track tee time availability, pricing, and course coverage by location and date.
- **Travel planning**: Build datasets of available golf courses and tee times for selected destinations.
- **Competitive monitoring**: Monitor price ranges, rating counts, and tee time inventory over time.
- **Analytics pipelines**: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal warehousing.

### Input

Provide the following fields:

- `startUrls` (array, required): GolfNow search or facility detail URLs.
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of course detail items to extract per search URL.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.


### Input Examples

**1) Start URLs**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/search#facilitytype=GolfCourse&date=May+04+2026&longitude=-74.00597&latitude=40.71427"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/facility/4528-meadows-golf-club/search#date=May+04+2026"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/facility/4528-meadows-golf-club/search#date=May+04+2026",
  "title": "Meadows Golf Club",
  "streetAddress": "79 Two Bridges Rd",
  "city": "Lincoln Park",
  "stateProvinceCode": "NJ",
  "postalCode": "07035-2701",
  "country": "US",
  "latitude": 40.90334,
  "longitude": -74.28049,
  "rating": 3.3828,
  "reviewCount": 1472,
  "minPrice": "$47.00",
  "maxPrice": "$63.00",
  "numberOfTeeTimes": 46,
  "date": "May 04 2026",
  "othersData": {
    "phoneNumber": "(973) 696-7212",
    "teeTimeCount": 46,
    "currencyCode": "USD",
    "teeTimes": [
      {
        "teeTimeRateId": 36770601,
        "timeFormatted": "7:40 AM",
        "detailUrl": "https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/facility/4528/tee-time/36770601",
        "displayRate": {
          "value": 63,
          "formatted": "$63.00",
          "currencyCode": "USD"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The scraper paginates through search results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more course items are found.

### Why use the GolfNow Scraper?

- **Focused**: Built specifically for GolfNow course search and facility tee time flows.
- **Structured output**: Ready-to-use JSON records for automation and analysis.
- **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per search URL.
- **Flexible input**: Supports both search URLs and facility detail URLs.
- **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, and proxy config.

### FAQ

- **How many courses can it extract?**\
  Controlled by `maxItems` per search URL.

- **Can I start from a facility detail URL?**\
  Yes. The actor can scrape a single GolfNow facility page directly.

- **What if GolfNow changes their website structure?**\
  The actor may require updates to keep extraction stable.
