Built for Golf.
Built at the course. Built for the course.
FairwayOps was built where it matters — at the golf course. Created while managing real schedules and real employees. Tournaments and banquets. Changing daylight. The constant challenge of seasonal staffing, from waiting on summer staff to arrive to covering shifts when they head back to school. It was designed around how golf courses actually work.
Smart Scheduling That Understands Your Staff
Generate a full week from your roles, coverage needs, and staff availability. Fill only the open holes or rebuild a department’s entire week — and preview the result before anything saves. It matches people to the roles they’re strong in, using full employee profiles your managers keep up to date. Nothing it builds is locked — drag, swap, or overwrite any shift yourself, and copy a published week forward with one click. Schedules stay drafts until you publish, and a published week can be reopened.
Rules it will never break
- ✔ Never double-books someone
- ✔ Never exceeds weekly hour maximums
- ✔ Never schedules against stated availability or approved time off
- ✔ Never puts an unqualified person in a role
- ✔ Never schedules someone out of season
Beyond that, it balances hours across the pay period, rotates opens, closes and weekends fairly, avoids five consecutive workdays, and avoids closing someone at night then opening them the next morning.
Sunrise to Sunset Scheduling
Your course changes every day. Your schedule can too. Set a department to open at sunrise or close at sunset and FairwayOps calculates the real time from your course's coordinates — recalculated for every individual date, not a summer/winter toggle. Individual shift types carry their own offsets, so cart staff can report 30 minutes before the pro shop's sunrise opening. Set it once in March and it's still right in October.

Tournaments, banquets, leagues, and course events visible alongside staffing.
Employees Handle the Easy Stuff
Availability, time off, open shifts, drops, claims, swaps, and shift-time-change requests — all from their phone. Fewer texts, fewer calls, fewer interruptions.
You Stay in Control
One approvals queue for swaps, drops, claims, time-change requests, availability submissions, and time off, scoped to your departments. Automatic conflict detection flags double-bookings, shifts against approved time off, and shifts outside stated availability.
New-Hire Onboarding, Start to Finish
Bulk-import returning staff by CSV, then walk new hires through agreement, I-9, W-4, profile, and direct deposit information in the app. Automatic reminders chase anyone who hasn’t finished. No paper, no chasing folders in April. No IT required — if you can run a golf course, you can run FairwayOps.
Reports That Answer Real Questions
Who drops shifts and who picks them up. What’s still unfilled next week. Staffed versus needed, day by day. Who hasn’t submitted availability. Who’s gone quiet. Export any of it to CSV.
Communication
Message everyone, one department, or one person. Real-time in-app notifications, email, and optional SMS for staff who opt in. No personal phone numbers passed around.
Role-Based Access
Seven permission tiers from sub through admin, enforced on the server. HR sees paperwork only. Supervisors see their own departments. Access is by invitation.

We Build It Around Your Course — Then We Stay.
Getting started takes almost nothing from you. Send us the schedules you've already been publishing — a spreadsheet, a stack of them, whatever you've got from the last season. That's it.
Everything we need is in there. Your departments, your roles, your shift patterns, your people, how your week actually runs. We pull it out, build your course inside FairwayOps, and hand it back to you running. No meetings, no implementation project, no weeks of setup.
And we don't disappear after that. New department, new role, hours change, something you want handled differently — you call, we handle it. You get a person who knows your course, not a ticket number.
