About Leading Courses

Leading Courses is a golf booking platform built around one idea: golfers make better choices when they have independent information. Every golf course profile on Leadingcourses.com combines practical details — location, facilities, green fees — with reviews and ratings written by golfers themselves. Because Leading Courses is not owned by a golf club, chain, or tour operator, the reviews and rankings stay independent.

Since 2012, Leading Courses has grown from a review community into one of Europe's leading platforms for comparing golf courses and booking tee times online, serving golfers in multiple languages across the world.

More than 500 golf courses on Leading Courses offer live tee time availability. Leading Courses connects directly to the leading golf course management systems and tee sheet providers via API, which means the available start times and prices you see are always up to date. You pick a course, see real availability, and book your round instantly — no email requests, no waiting for confirmation.

For golf trips and everyday rounds alike, golfers use Leading Courses to:

• Book tee times in real time at 500+ connected golf courses
• Compare golf courses by location, price, facilities, and rating
• Read golf course reviews written by fellow golfers, for golfers
• Share their own reviews and photos to help the community choose better

Every tee time booked on Leading Courses in Europe comes with theBest Price Guarantee: we negotiate the best rates directly with the golf clubs, so you never pay more by booking through Leading Courses. Depending on the rate you select, your booking also includes:

• Free cancellation & modification— change or cancel your tee time at no extra cost. Rate conditions are always shown before you book; some discounted rates are non-refundable and clearly labelled as such.
• Pay Later— reserve your tee time now and pay once the free cancellation window has passed.
• Buggy & rental club reservation— add a buggy or rental golf clubs to your tee time in one booking. Depending on the golf club, the buggy is included in the rate and paid at checkout, or arranged on request by our Customer Support team. Rental golf clubs are always arranged by Customer Support and paid at the course.

Every review on Leading Courses comes from a golfer who played the course. With hundreds of thousands of ratings collected since 2012, the platform gives an honest picture of what to expect — from course condition and pace of play to the quality of the clubhouse. The more golfers share, the better everyone's next round gets.

Leading Courses is also a growth partner for golf clubs. Clubs gain visibility with an international audience of golfers actively looking to book, and advanced targeting helps them reach the right players — by region, season, or golfer profile. Clubs also receive valuable feedback from reviews, helping them improve the golfer experience while increasing bookings. It's a win-win: golfers find courses that fit them, and clubs fill their tee sheets.

Our mission is simple: help every golfer find and book the course that matches their preferences, skill level, location, and budget — and give golf clubs a fair, transparent platform to reach them. We believe every golfer's opinion matters. By booking through Leading Courses, sharing reviews, and uploading photos, you're not just planning your next round — you're improving the entire golf ecosystem.
