Fairway Studio

A free browser tool for laying out golf holes on open land or a real course, shaping every feature, then flying over the result.

The question was how far a browser could go as a golf design studio. It had to look like real golf at golden hour, stay light enough to edit on a laptop or tablet, and need no install or sign-up.

  1. Built a three-click hole tool: click the tee, a landing zone and the green, and the hole fills in with four sets of tees.
  2. Added bunkers, water, trees, terrain shaping and four design styles, with par, yardage and green slope updating as you work.
  3. Made a light view for editing and a full-detail view for flyovers, with seven cameras and a sun you can move from dawn to dusk.
  4. Let you import a real golf course by name from public map and elevation data, then change it.
  5. Added a play mode with a club bag, drag-back swings, wind, shot types and putts that break.
  6. Built touch controls for phones and tablets, and saved courses in your own browser.
  • Three-click hole routing
  • Real course import
  • Seven flyover cameras
  • Play mode with wind
  • Touch screen support

Live since late September 2026 on the arcade site. Play mode, wind and shot types followed in early October.
