Golfers' Choice Rankings 2023: Best Value for Money

In golf, a game often associated with prestige, luxury and just being (very) expensive, value for money may not always be the first consideration that comes to mind. However, when it comes to visiting or playing a golf course, it's a factor that can greatly enhance your overall experience.

First of all, it ensures that your investment (the green fee) aligns with the quality and facilities provided, giving you a sense of satisfaction. But it also makes golf courses more accessible and inclusive. Offering good value for money opens up the opportunity for a wider range of players from diverse backgrounds to enjoy the game, creating a stronger golfing community.

For golf clubs, it's important to understand that offering great value for money promotes repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth recommendations. When golfers feel they have received exceptional value, they are more likely to return to the same course or recommend it to others.

Another thing that's important is that great value for money, and also great hospitality, will influence the overal impression of the visitor. Because of that, they will be very likely to rate their overall experience - and in some cases even the golf course - a bit higher than they would have done when value for money wouldn't have been that good.
