The Fringe Club 4+

Only 28 courses nationwide with half of them being in the Michigan area. Will check back to see if one pops up near me.

I also had trouble creating an account. I would enter the info but it said unable to process. Came back a couple hours later and it worked. The UI for entering text isn’t great.

I signed up as a host for Fringe when I initially saw it on Instagram because I think the idea is great to meet fellow golfers in your area as well as allowing people to experience playing at a private course they might not have an ability to play at. Albeit, the amount of course on the app that are hosting is currently small, with time as their network grows, it could be a great way to plan a golf trip and find places to go and play.

The team over at the Fringe is very helpful and responsive. I’ve sent them over a few ideas of how to hopefully make the app run smoother and they’ve been very receptive. Any time I’ve ever had an issue, they’ve been right there to help.

This app is ok for you if your a local golfer in Michigan.

They don’t have any courses or club members signed up in pretty much the entire rest of the country.

It’s a great idea but doesn’t look like it’s catching on or picking up any steam. I don’t feel like many private clubs will get on board- they are MEMBERS ONLY for a reason lol they don’t particularly want NON-MEMBERS playing their courses.

I’ll download the app again in a few months to see if they’ve expanded but not holding my breath.
