Claim your club

Nerdie shows a picture for every course a golfer has played. If yours is a plain coloured tile, or the wrong photo, send us the right one and we will use it.

Write to support@nerdiegolf.com with the name of the club and the photo attached. A real person reads it, and a photo you send replaces whatever was there for good: no automatic pass can overwrite it afterwards.

Who can send one

Anyone at the club: the professional, the manager, the greenkeeper, the secretary. We are not checking credentials, we are checking the photo. If two people send different pictures of the same course, the club's own choice wins.

What makes a good one

• Landscape, at least 1180 pixels wide. It is shown as a wide band at the top of your course page and as a small square in a golfer's collection.
• The course itself. A green, a fairway, a hole a member would recognise. Not the clubhouse door, not the car park.
• No logo, no crest, no scorecard, no course map. Nerdie already knows the name; a logo tells a golfer nothing about the ground.
• No people in the frame, or nobody identifiable. It saves us both a permission question.
• You must be free to give it to us. If a photographer holds the rights, ask them first.

What we do with it

We resize it to two formats, strip the EXIF metadata — which often carries GPS coordinates and the author's name — and serve it from our own storage. We keep a note of where it came from, so we know who to answer if anyone ever asks. We do not use it anywhere else, and we do not sell it.

Wrong photo, wrong course, wrong anything

Same address. Tell us what is wrong and it gets fixed, whether it is a picture, an opening year, a phone number or a course that closed. The club is the source we trust above every other.

Why we ask at all

Nerdie carries 33,462 clubs and a photo for about six in ten. The rest are courses whose site publishes no usable picture, or whose site refuses our reader. There is no clever way around that: the club has the photo, and we do not.
