Why you should care about golf course reviews?

Today's golfers are playing in the age of choices. Relative to the number of golfers, and despite a thousand golf course closings in the past 10 years, there is still more course capacity and golf courses needed to satisfy the demand. This translates to less crowded fairways, bargain prices and a large number of courses from which to choose. The choice is seemingly endless. If you played a different course every day, it would take over 40 years to play every course in the U.S.

Of course bargain prices and less crowded fairways are not totally good. The bad part is that many courses may not have enough revenue to maintain the fairways, greens, bunkers, cart paths, golf carts, lawn equipment and other course components. A lack of maintenance and upkeep results in deteriorating conditions. Not all golf courses are in this predicament. But, if you plan to golf a new course in your area, or a course while traveling, wouldn't it be better to have a bit of "local" knowledge to help you choose the course? The answer is, yes, of course. Before you invest 4 or 5 hours in commuting and playing 18-holes, you should have local knowledge on which courses are hidden gems and which have "gone to seed."

Which golf courses in a particular area should you play? If you're traveling to Las Vegas, San Diego, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, Myrtle Beach, Orlando, or two counties over, how do you make the best selection of which course to play? The logical answer, read golf course reviews and pick the course in your price comfort zone and relative proximity that has the most compelling user providedreviews and recommendations.
