Very Happy!
I purchased an ad for my business with this company. However, after stumbling upon some negative reviews, I became deeply concerned that I might have fallen victim to a scam. Determined to get to the bottom of it, I conducted thorough research and reached out to the business directly.

To my relief, they promptly provided me with a copy of the contract they have with the golf course, along with a digital copy of my ad that had been printed and shipped out. Wanting to verify the legitimacy of the ad placement, I visited the golf course and was pleased to see my ad prominently displayed. It looked fantastic.

It's disheartening to see false information spread online about a business without any verification. As business owners, none of us want to be the target of such malicious intent. It serves as a reminder to always do our due diligence before making assumptions or spreading misinformation. I can understand seeing some ex employees post negative things are a cause for concern, but there's a lot of people out there who just retaliate and spread false rumors and you don't want to be a part of that.

Best Golf Course Advertisers out there!
I bought numerous ads through this company. One on the Scorecard and one on the Course Guide. I went out to the Golf Course to make sure my ad was there and not only was it there on both products, but it was JUST like I wanted it. Plus I actually saw Golfers out there using them and just thought "my business is on there" and it was just the best feeling. Super affordable advertising with a company who actually cares and does EXACTLY what they say they do. Don't listen to these people who just didn't get any return on their ad. Advertising doesn't promise any returns, but it can! Good luck and if you're going to advertise on a golf course, definitely do it through direct fairways.

Former employee DIRECT FAIRWAY IS A SCam
Former employee here… this company is selling ads on courses they don’t have accounts for. The course will literally tell customers to stay away they even create Facebook pages to let people be aware. For every 5 courses I would call on 4 of them would have no contract with us. I spoke to attorney general in AZ and they are taking action against them. This company has stolen millions from people in the last 5 years.

That's interesting because I advertised my business through them with no issues. After seeing your comment I called them concerned and they were able to provide me with a legitimate contract signed by the golf course and I went out to the golf course and was able to locate my advertisement. You must have been terminated or something and now your trying to retaliate which honestly is a shame. Thanks for wasting my time and making me concerned for nothing!

Terrible company
This company is awful. I have had nothing but issues trying to get my ad published and I'm still waiting. I started this process in June of 2023 and was told by the salesman that it would be out in July. Nothing but lies from this company. The customer service reps make empty promises. Please don't waste your time or MONEY on this company. Read all the reviews. I wish I had.

Hello Phillis, After reading some of the bogus comments from ex employees, I too became concerned. However, after speaking with Katrina in customer service they were able to provide me with proof of delivery and the contract they have with the golf course. I went out there and saw my ad and it looks great. The number I called was 866-768-6449, maybe ask to speak with Katrina as she was able to help me!

Sorry to tell you… your not going to be on any course… you got ripped off and as a former employee I would highly suggest you cancel your card they will charge you every year without telling you. This company has scammed millions of dollars from people

Scammers
I was contacted by Joe from Direct Fairways. I initianally told him I was not interested but he put on the pressure and gave me a (GOOD DEAL). Sold me a years subscription for $399 and another sales agent would contact me close to the end of the year to see if I wanted to renew at the orginial price. When they contacted me I made it very clear I did not want to renew. Well guess what $800 was taken out of my acct. Then 3 mo. later another $800. I had to shut my bank card down. I talked to several other people at Direct fairways and made it very very clear I was upset because I told them I did not want to renew. They made excuse after excuse of why the money was taken out. They are thiefs. Stay clear. I never got one lead from their so called advertising.

You probably did something wrong on your part. I just paid for my advertisement with them and went out to the course and SAW MY AD on the Scorecard AND Yardage Card. Direct Fairways is NOT a scam and people like you that either mess something up on your end or just don't get any revenue or income from your ad with your business, get on here and try to call a nation wide, awesome company like this with plenty of credentials and hard working employees a scam? Go leave bad reviews on the restaurant that brought you the wrong drink. Thanks

Never, ever, do business with them
We advertised through them for a few months and never received a single call from anyone looking for our services. We have been harrassed lately by their call center to start advertising through them again. We asked numerous times to be taken off their call list but, they keep calling. I even sent an email to their customer service department to let them know we aren't interested. Isabelle at (480) 305-0851 called me 5 times in a row until I sent her to voicemail.

• Oct 30, 2023

so it's their fault you didn't receive a call from anybody looking for your services? Not sure if you know that advertising doesn't promise business or not but.. I personally had an amazing experience with them

• Sep 30, 2023

Their job is to call and sell ads at will. Call the course they promised you on and I bet you they do not have an account with the course. Sorry but you got scammed they are literally stealing from people

Class Action Lawsuit against Direct Faurways?
If you want to start a class action lawsuit against them, let me know! They harass and offer sub par services. Low quality and not deserving of any quality business's service: these guys scam small business owners…
Class Action Lawsuit against Direct Faurways?

You wouldn't win your lawsuit lol.. This company is 100% legit and I know this after buying almost 3k worth advertising from them, along with my sister buying one their smaller ads for like 300 bucks. We both saw our ads on the course with our own eyes. So you people that have bad experiences for whatever reason and get on here and bash a company just doing what they're supposed to do need to get. a. life.

• Sep 30, 2023

Former employee and I assure you this is a scam. They don’t have accounts with the golf course or their contract expired years ago and they keep selling on it. Trust me when I tell you this is a scam company who is stealing and lying and cheating customers

• Aug 29, 2023

I'm in just let me know. They scammed me as well. You can contact me at [email protected].

total scam
We were sold a position on our local golf course scorecard. The salesman told me we would have the spot for 2 years and would be the only realtor on the card. After 6 months of digging and being given excuses, I finally talked to the pro at the course. The pro told me these folks sell each spot many times and that the ads rotate through the cards. The pro also told me that she had many other advertisers who were not given the truthful explanation of how the advertising works. DONT DO IT!

DON'T FALL FOR IT
Was contacted by Andrew Alvarez for advertising at Bella Collina Golf Course in San Clemente California. He convinced me that signage and score cards get hundreds of customers. I agreed and paid $499 for one year. As other reviewers mentioned, they charged me twice without permission. I'm still waiting for the refund. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I spoke to the manager at the golf course. He said there is no signage, scorecards etc with our company because they do not do business with direct fairways. Therefore, I paid for absolutely nothing! This company is absolutely the worst company I've ever dealt with. Before you agree to pay these scammers, contact the golf course and see if they even do business with them. Buyer Beware!

Why don't you reach out to them and ask them for the course contract to prove their relationship with the golf course? If you read all of the other comments that stated this, they were able to confirm that they did in fact have agreements with these courses. You wouldn't want someone to post false information about your business online so I strongly encourage you to verify before posting these types of things.

Loved it!
I absolutely love the way that my ad turned out. The art department did a great job listening to what I wanted and making it a reality! Thank you!

Don't Waste Your Money!
Terrible experience - ad salesman called and I agreed to 1 year - then offered a second year for same money - second year I got charged all over again and when disputed, they convinced my card company that there was a contract. There was no contract! I repeatedly requested one. Now I am out money for an ad that did absolutely NOTHING and I never even got a physical proof. You would be foolish to fall for their slick talk and slicker loopholes to billing - I don't usually write bad reviews, but this one has really hurt me financially and I hope it helps someone else keep from falling into their trap!

This has happened to me as well! No contracts, only receipt I have is for the original course guide program. I am disputing the charge as well as contacted anyone I can at their company. I thought I signed up for $750 for a 2 year ad placement cover, NOT $750 per year. Then scorecards, $1,500, another $1500 just charged but I am disputing. I don't even recall being told a price for this as is so expensive for 0 results.

Unethical Sales Team / Beware of duplicate charges they won't disclose
I was charged for a space in one of their guides in
July 2022 and they called me back saying that had lots of space
left and could give me a larger space and a second year for an
additional fee. I paid the additional amount. Now 3 months later in
Oct 2022 they called me to approve the image for the newest
printing and they charged me the entire amount again! No one
ever mentioned a second payment in any of the calls I had with
them. After calls back to customer service and to the guy who
called me for image approval...I finally got a call back. Speaking
with their supervisor Nicole she said I agreed to 2 payments and
that she could offer me another printing FAR from my business if
they could keep this second payment. This does nothing for my
business and I declined. After I declined that she offered a partial
refund, but I refused as I never agreed to any additional
payments. After 5 minutes of arguing she finally agreed to refund
me and to talk to her sales team. I explained that we are a small
business and that her sales team did not clearly explain anything
about a second payment and that they seemed shady and
desperate. I will not do business with them again and have
spread word to other locations to my franchise to avoid their bad business practices.

I believe the same has happened to me. I also was asked to approve artwork for a reprint. Unfortunately, I did not look into it further. But now I am being charged for a 2nd year which was never communicated to me as an annual charge. Just charges were good for 2 years. No one gets back to you with a contract, receipt. Very deceptive. Absolutely no results from the advertising either. None!

• May 07, 2023

I had the same thing happen to me. Same exact pattern down to the time frame. Are you willing to connect with me to start a class action lawsuit against them?

Superb!
My ad turned out superb. I plan to use it for more than just this project and I think that this is going to make a huge difference in our business. Customer service-wise, everyone that I spoke to was responsive. I particularly enjoyed my exchange with Kylie.

Scam Stay Away
Like everyone else these guys scammed me by promising an annual ad placement at $499 and then they started charging my card every two months. No paper trail, no customer service, I called "billing" a few times and the line disconnects immediately. Amex is working on my dispute. I went to the course where my ad was placed and I've been calling every business that has an ad posted in the course guide and telling them to watch out! I've also filed with BBB and I'm going to pursue state regulatory agencies as well.

Good luck with AMEX I’m filing a complaint with the federal trade commissioner as well as the 100’s on the Better Business Bureau that are identical to our complaints.

Total SCAM
Nothing ever produced. Golf Club does not use their service.

If 0 was an option. Terrible horrible company!!!!!
They took my money then offered me 2 years to pay more so I paid more. Never got advertising! Scam scam scam. These people should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of everyone.

Scam. Fraudulent charges
This company is a scam. It was reported fraudulent by the BBB. Dozens of other people like me have experienced fraudulent charges as well as non-delivery of services. My recommendation is if you have been scammed by this company is to file a complaint with Federal organizations to protect consumer rights as well as to file consumer complaints with your state and the state of Arizona. Also if you're like me you can go to a lot of different websites and write reviews.

+7

Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Comission are who the latter might be very interested in investigating these guys for the minimum eight years they’ve been running the scam. He has a LinkedIn account and there’s two different names of founders.

Scam. Scam. Scam
Never authorized this company to change my account and they did.

Scam
They will lie about advertising space, take your money and refuse to refund you! Total scam and horrible customer service!

COMPLETE FRAUD AND THEY TRY AND KEEP YOUR MONEY
I was contacted to advertise at Woodmore Golf Course. The rep advised my ad would be on over 5000 yardcards handed to golfers and on the golf carts and run for a year. I paid the initial deposit. first red flag I never received the contract as promised. 2nd, I went to the golf course who said they DO NOT work with Fairways at all. they showed me the golf carts and NO ADS AT ALL. when I tried to cancel they refused and tried to keep my deposit! I had to get my bank involved! save your money! Direct Fairways is a FRAUD!
