According to Mail Online

''TripAdvisor has removed the slogan ‘reviews you can trust’ from its website, replacing it with the phrase 'reviews from our community'.The website is currently being investigated by the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) over allegations that fake reviews have been posted on the site.The investigation focusses on the 'trustworthiness' of the reviews, after an online reputation management company alleged the claims that posts were by 'real travellers' could not be proven.''

NZ Golf Course Reviews

It has been a commercially acceptable practice to review hotels and restaurants and give them a star rating. We at RYC dont see the problem in doing golf course reviews as long as the person doing the rating is unbiased and gives the course a fair golf course rating. I myself have never ever played a public golf course that I have walked away from without having some positive remarks. As we all know some golf and country club courses are better than others and in many instances the smaller courses will have a friendlier welcome and attract golf course communities. I dont know about the other members of the RYC golf communities but I play golf to enjoy myself and get some exercise as well as the challenge provided by the best golf courses. More often than not I cause my own problems especially on the top golf courses and often end up grumpy. My bad golf cant be blamed on the course so I try to do the Golf Course Reviews after I have relaxed and had time to reflect.As you all know the rating procedure provided by RYC United Kingdom sticks to a stringent vetting procedure and we encourage Patrons to give honest and positive golf course reviews. The fact that we remain transparent and offer the courses right of reply seems to be in interest to the Golf Unions and the other RYC golf communities who can use our golf course map to find the top golf courses.

NZ Top 100 Golf Courses

Our NZ Top 100 Golf Courses list is compiled on a weekly basis from Golf Course Reviews received from our Patrons based on our 25 Golf Course Rating Criteria. Unlike other NZ Top 100 Golf Course Rating lists our list changes on a weekly basis and also updates the Golf Course Top 100 Status automatically.

Best NZ Golf Courses

Choosing the best golf courses can often be a difficult decision as each member of the RYC golf communities has different playing abilities. As part of our golf course reviews we have included other aspects such as the enjoyment of the course and the 19th hole amongst others. So the best golf courses on Rate Your Course are chosen based on a lot of criteria and not necessarily how difficult they are. In addition a golf and country club may be more expensive than a public golf course but this does not make it into our top golf courses.

RYC has a unique Review System that is both online and via the Post that is based on a set of 25 criteria on which our Patrons Rate and Review a Golf Course.
