Ask any golfer who lives in a golf community what they love most, and chances are their private cart makes the top of the list. There’s something uniquely satisfying about pulling out of your driveway, clubs already loaded, and heading straight to the first tee.

But as beloved as private carts are, they can also create friction—especially when it comes to managing pace of play, protecting turf, and making sure everyone is following the rules.

That’s why more and more golf communities are turning to FAIRWAYiQ. And private cart owners? They’re loving it too.

Here’s why.

1. Hole Flyovers That Elevate Every Round

Forget the course maps posted on tee boxes or trying to guess the layout on a new hole. With FAIRWAYiQ, golfers get beautiful, animated hole flyovers right on their cart screen.

Whether you’re playing your home course or showing it off to a guest, it makes every round smoother and more enjoyable.

📍 Know the shot before you take it.
