Terms & Conditions

1. Who operates GDB

Golf Done Better ("GDB", "we", "us" or "our") is a golf course discovery and trip-planning website at golfdonebetter.com. The website is operated by [full legal name of current operator], trading as Golf Done Better, from [geographical business address]. Contact: [working business email address].

If a registered company becomes the operator before publication, this section must instead identify its correct registered name, company number, registered office and relevant contact details. GDB is not described as a limited company until that is true.

These Terms of Use apply to the free-to-access research and planning features described below. They do not replace the terms of golf clubs, accommodation providers, transport companies or other third parties.

2. What GDB does — and does not do

GDB helps visitors find golf courses, review course information, use maps and filters, compare courses, and plan rounds and trips. GDB provides research and planning tools. It does not currently register user accounts, charge subscription fees, take booking payments, issue booking confirmations or reserve tee times, accommodation or transport.

Where a visitor follows an external booking or website link, they deal with the relevant independent business. The identity of the seller or service provider, its prices, availability and contract terms must be checked on that provider’s website before booking.

If GDB later starts selling travel services, taking payments or facilitating connected travel bookings in a different way, its regulatory responsibilities and these terms must be reviewed before those features launch.

3. Permitted use and website security

You may use GDB for lawful personal research, comparisons and planning, including sharing ordinary page links and making reasonable personal extracts or itinerary copies. Please do not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious software, impersonate another person or use automated requests that overwhelm the service.

You must not systematically extract or commercially republish substantial parts of protected GDB content or a protected database without permission, except where applicable law or a relevant licence permits it. These restrictions do not claim ownership over unprotected facts, restrict legally permitted use or prevent normal search-engine indexing that we allow.

If we identify a genuine security or misuse issue, we may take proportionate steps to protect the website, including limiting the relevant activity. We will not use this provision to remove rights that the law gives you.

4. Golf course listings, facilities and price bands

GDB presents course names, locations, holes, facilities, access arrangements, dress requirements, course type, atmosphere, difficulty and similar details for research and comparison. Information may be obtained from clubs, public sources and independent providers. We aim to take reasonable care, but listings can be incomplete or out of date and individual information may be incorrect.

GDB price bands are indicative classifications, not exact or live green fees, price quotations, availability checks, discounts or offers. Actual prices and booking eligibility can vary by time, season, tee time, visitor category and individual provider rules.

Before making a decision that matters to you, check current course status, access, facilities, accessibility, dress requirements, restrictions, prices and availability directly with the club or provider. Inclusion in GDB does not itself mean that the course or business has approved the listing, is endorsed by GDB, or has entered a partnership with us.

5. Maps, location tools and travel information

Map displays, course pins, drawn search boundaries, location suggestions, geographical results, distances and any travel-related information are planning aids. Pins can be approximate, mapping data can be outdated and a drawn area or radius is not a precise guarantee of inclusion or exclusion.

GDB is not a live navigation, road-safety, traffic, weather or emergency information service. Verify travel arrangements, routes, transport availability and site access using appropriate up-to-date sources. Do not rely on a GDB map as your sole source for safe travel or navigation.

GDB uses third-party geographic and mapping services. Availability and results may vary if those services change or become temporarily unavailable.

6. Saved courses, trip plans and downloadable itineraries

Current GDB tools can save some selections, comparisons and planning information in your own browser. GDB does not provide an account-based backup or promise that these items will synchronise between browsers or devices. Clearing browser data, private browsing, changing devices or technical problems may remove them.

Keep a separate copy of anything important. You are responsible for reviewing your saved selections and itinerary details. Any printable or downloadable itinerary, when that function is available, is a personal planning document only: it is not a booking, ticket, payment receipt, accommodation confirmation or promise of availability.

An itinerary may contain information from third parties and may be shared by you at your discretion. Do not assume that printing or downloading it establishes a booking with any provider.

7. External providers and bookings

Links from GDB may take you to golf clubs, accommodation providers, travel companies, transport providers and independent booking platforms. Any transaction you choose to make is with the provider identified at the point of booking, under that provider’s terms and policies. GDB does not currently accept bookings or payments or confirm services on their behalf.

Independent providers are responsible for their own advertised availability, charges, customer service, changes, cancellations, refunds and performance of services they sell. We do not control their websites or guarantee that external links will continue to work.

GDB currently enables independent research and referrals rather than selling a combined travel product. Whether future arrangements fall within the UK package travel or linked travel arrangement rules depends on the way travel services are offered and connected in practice; no wording in these terms overrides any duties imposed by those rules.

Nothing here excludes responsibility GDB may have under applicable law for its own acts, omissions, representations or conduct.

8. Affiliate links, advertising and rankings

Some links may be affiliate or referral links. Where a qualifying click or booking is attributed to GDB, GDB may receive a commission or other benefit from the provider or affiliate network. You normally make payment to the external provider, not to GDB. Any claim that an affiliate link has no effect on the price must be checked before it is made; these terms make no such guarantee.

Affiliate and other advertising content must be identified clearly where the commercial nature would otherwise be unclear. An individual paid link or the related promotional content should be labelled where visitors encounter it; disclosure solely in these terms is not enough.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean the linked provider is the cheapest or most suitable. GDB does not promise to display every golf course, provider or offer, or to rank all results independently of every commercial consideration. Any paid ranking or placement must be disclosed appropriately where it appears.

9. Content, imagery and intellectual property

The GDB name and branding, original text, original designs and software, and any legally protected original selection or arrangement of database material belong to their respective rights holders. Golf course facts do not become GDB property simply because we display them.

Photographs, course names and logos, geographic datasets, third-party software and map tiles may be owned or licensed by other parties. They remain subject to their own rights, licences and attribution requirements. Nothing in these terms grants you rights that GDB does not hold.

You may view the website and print or save reasonable extracts and itineraries for lawful personal purposes. Further copying, commercial reuse or redistribution of protected material may require the relevant rights holder’s permission unless permitted by law or licence.

10. Website operation and changes

We may correct mistakes, update listings, change or remove features, adjust price band classifications, update service providers, or interrupt access for security, maintenance or technical reasons. We aim to do so reasonably, but cannot promise uninterrupted access to this free service.

We may update these terms to reflect changes in the website, law or operating arrangements. The date at the top will show the current version. Any revised terms apply from publication unless we state a later date, and will not retrospectively deprive you of rights already accrued. Where the law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide or obtain it.

11. Responsibility and your rights

We aim to exercise reasonable care when operating GDB. We cannot guarantee that third-party listing information, indicative price bands, mapping results or independently operated websites will always be accurate or up to date. You should verify important details with the relevant provider before spending money or travelling.

We are not automatically responsible for a contract you enter directly with an independent provider merely because GDB linked to that provider. However, we remain responsible where applicable law makes us responsible for our own conduct, statements, negligence or other legal obligations.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted. Nothing reduces your statutory consumer rights. No general monetary liability cap or blanket exclusion of foreseeable loss is imposed by these terms.

12. Privacy and browser technologies

Our Privacy Policy explains the processing of personal information and the use of browser storage, location information and relevant third-party services. Where applicable, our Cookie Policy will explain cookies and similar technologies and the choices available to visitors.

Using GDB is not blanket consent to optional analytics or advertising tracking. Any consent or other legally required control must be handled separately in the website, not by this clause.

13. Errors, rights concerns and feedback

If you believe a course listing is inaccurate, a link is unsafe, or material on GDB infringes your rights, please contact [working business email address] with the relevant page and enough details for us to investigate. We may ask for further information where reasonably necessary and will assess reports appropriately.

If you choose to send suggestions, you retain any intellectual property rights in the expression of your feedback. You allow us to read the feedback and consider or use the ideas it contains to improve GDB; this does not transfer ownership of your original material or allow us to republish protected text or images without an appropriate right to do so.

14. Applicable law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights and protections that apply to you as a consumer. If you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland or another jurisdiction, this clause does not take away any right to bring a claim in a court or rely on a protection that the applicable law gives you.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue so far as they can operate fairly and lawfully. You can contact us using the details in Section 1 about website concerns or disputes; this does not limit your right to pursue other remedies available under law.

15. Contact and publication details

For enquiries about GDB or these terms, contact [working business email address]. The legal operator’s identity, geographical business address and any applicable registered company details must be completed in Section 1 before publication.

Last reviewed: 7 November 2026. This is a pre-launch working version. It must be checked against the final business details, relevant affiliate arrangements and any website functionality added before launch.
