Probably not. I'm just telling you my observation.
And you're pointing out a problem without offering a solution. Your advice to OP is "don't link to Golfnow". So I suppose they should do what you do and just link to the course homepage... which links to Golfnow? What does that accomplish?
In any case, the golfnow.com is not what most people use to find courses. OP even said they are building their search app because "Google filters for golf course results are terrible". Not because golfnow.com searches are terrible. Golfnow is for booking, for which there are other alternatives that courses can use.
>Golfnow is for booking
This is the misunderstanding. Golfnow is for advertising. The people booking tee times are not the customer, the course advertising their tee times on Golfnow are the real customers of Golfnow.
My concern is that market for tee time advertising is effectively completely controlled by one company. That should be concerning.
> This is the misunderstanding. Golfnow is for advertising.
Yes that is the misunderstanding. Lets agree to disagree.
