The Travel Golf Scorecard
A clear, repeatable system that tells you whether a golf trip is worth booking.
How We Rate Every Destination
Every destination we cover gets rated on five dimensions. No vague opinions, no affiliate bias. Just a clear, repeatable system that tells you whether a trip is worth booking.
The scorecard gives you a framework to compare destinations objectively and plan trips that match your priorities.

What We Measure
Golf Quality
Course design, conditions, service, facilities, and whether you'd replay it. The core of why you're traveling.
Value
What you get for what you spend. Not just price but the full experience relative to cost at each budget tier.
Ease
Flights, drives, tee time availability, logistics, and walkability. How much friction exists between you and the golf.
Off-Course Experience
Food, culture, nightlife, and non-golf options. The destination beyond the course that makes the trip memorable.
Return Likelihood
Would you come back next year? The ultimate test. A destination that earns a return trip is one that truly delivers.
The Three Verdicts
Worth Booking
Go. Plan the trip. This destination delivers across the board.
Right Season Only
Great destination, but timing matters. Go in the right window or skip it.
Not Worth It
The hype doesn't match the reality. Spend your money elsewhere.
