A golf course with your name on it

Every golfer has redesigned a hole in their head. Move that bunker. Put the green closer to the water. Give people a reason to try the risky shot.

Fairways & Fortunes lets you find out whether those ideas actually work.

You start with $250,000 and open land. Place your tees and greens, shape the fairways, add hills, and decide where sand and water will make things interesting. Build a clubhouse and the facilities your golfers need. Start small and leave yourself room to grow, or spend big on the course you’ve always wanted to play.

Then grab a club and try it yourself.

That’s where your design gets its first honest review. The pond looked great from above. Now you’re standing over the ball, wondering whether you left enough room to clear it. Playtesting gives you a reason to return to the builder and keep making adjustments.

Once you open the doors, the course becomes a business. Golfers need checking in, groups need sending to the first tee, and the fairways need mowing. Hop in the cart, move the cups, and work your way through the day.

You can hire a receptionist, marshal, grounds crew, and caretaker as the workload grows. Set your green fees, promote the course, and turn happy guests into a better reputation. The money you earn goes back into the place, whether that means another hole, better facilities, or preparing to host bigger tournaments.

There’s something satisfying about taking a break from running the club to play a hole you built yourself. You know every bunker on it. You put them there.

You still might end up in one.
