• Monitoring: schedule a run to see courses joining or leaving GolfNow.

FAQ

Do I need a GolfNow account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public course-directory and course pages any visitor sees. It never logs in, never books anything and needs nothing from you except a location.

Does it get tee times and green fees? No. This actor covers the course directory. GolfNow loads tee times and prices in the browser from a separate service, and they change minute by minute.

How fast is it? About 2–3 pages per second. A course bookable on GolfNow takes two quick requests (a redirect and its page), other courses one, plus one page per city. A city takes a few seconds; Ontario (about 440 courses) takes about 6 minutes; the whole US directory (about 15,700 courses) takes several hours, so raise Timeout in the run options for very large areas. If the timeout comes first, the run stops cleanly and keeps every course it found.

Why are some locations skipped? A city needs its state or province (Toronto, ON, not Toronto), because many cities share a name. The run's status message lists anything it could not place and why, and those are never charged.

What does a run cost? You pay a small fee per run, per course saved and a much smaller fee per directory page read (country, state or city). See the Pricing tab. Courses that are gone from GolfNow, or skipped by Only courses bookable on GolfNow, are never charged as courses.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If GolfNow refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

Is it legal to scrape GolfNow? This Actor only collects publicly available data: golf course listings that anyone can see on GolfNow without an account, such as the course name, address, phone number, website, ratings, tees and amenities. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. The data describes businesses, not people: the scraper doesn't collect reviews or reviewer names, only the average ratings, and it drops any e-mail address that belongs to a named person (only general mailboxes such as info@ are kept). You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as GolfNow's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages GolfNow shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches golfer accounts or bookings, and follows GolfNow's robots.txt.
