What is FairWeather Golf?
FairWeather Golf helps you decide when and where to play by scoring golf weather conditions across 3,370+ courses in the UK and Ireland. We combine four independent weather sources to give you a single, reliable score for every tee time.
How does the scoring work?
Each hour is scored on rain probability, wind speed, temperature comfort, and precipitation intensity — weighted to reflect what actually matters on the course. Four forecasts are combined into a consensus, and the best tee time window is found for your round length.
Which weather sources do you use?
Met Office (the UK's national weather service), Open-Meteo, Pirate Weather, and WeatherAPI. By comparing multiple sources, we reduce the impact of any single forecast being wrong.
Is FairWeather Golf free?
Yes — course forecasts, area search, and favourites are all free. Create an account to unlock wider area searches, shortlist scoring, and push notifications for your saved courses.
Can I get alerts when conditions are good?
Yes. Sign up, add courses to your shortlist, and enable notifications. You'll get a push notification or email the evening before when conditions look good at your saved courses.
Does the score account for course type?
Yes. Links courses weight wind more heavily (they're exposed but drain well), parkland courses weight rain more (sheltered but slower to drain), and so on for heathland, moorland, clifftop, and woodland courses.
