When leaving a golf club review for your fellow golfing nomads, there is a number of criteria you should look to include in any feedback. Firstly, ensure your review is not based on the quality of golf you played on the day. In addition, take into account the weather conditions and the price of the round – just because it was expensive, does not mean it was not good value for money.
Ten Top Tips to consider when writing your golf course review…
- Was the club located close to major roads?
- Were you given a friendly welcome on arrival?
- Were the Pro shop and bar staff professional?
- Was there a good selection of food available?
- Was the course well maintained?
- What was the condition of the tee boxes and greens?
- Was there good signage on your entrance to the course?
- Was there a history to the club?
- Was the green fee reflective of the quality of the course?
- Would you return?
It goes without saying, that every golfer will have a different experience to the next but in today’s modern world, it is paramount that clubs take heed of the reviews that travelling and visiting golfer give their club, as this could, and in time will, affect the ability for clubs to survive.
Sadly, gone are the days when clubs can just rely on their local constituents as a steady trade. In fact, with golf club membership continuing to fall – it is paramount that golf club owners start listening more to the views of visitors. A good golf club reviewer will also take pictures and share these in their reviews – this is particularly useful for readers, as they can provide images of how the course looks throughout the seasons.
Finally, be generous, its easy to give negative feedback than positive but above all, be honest!
