Who should we trust more: Golf Digest‘s golf course evaluators or Leadingcourses users? The only two Spanish courses are listed on the most recent Golf Digest World Top 100.
Both of them are within the Sotogrande estate:
- Real Club Valderrama secured 29th place;
- Real Club de Golf Sotogrande making an impressive debut in 74th place
What sets them apart from, for example, Finca Cortesin, La Zagaleta, or La Hacienda Links Golf Resort?
Could these three golf clubs have prioritized other golf countries over attracting American golf tourists, resulting in their decision not to aspire to be on the Golf Digest list?
It’s worth noting that only seven golf clubs from Continental Europe secured a spot in the recent Golf Digest World Top 100 rankings, which is quite intriguing.
La Reserva Club does not feature in this ranking but is frequently ranked among the best courses in Spain.
Having hosted multiple professional events across the DP World Tour and the Ladies European Tour.
La Reserva has gained international acclaim over the past decade, recently achieving its highest ranking of 7th in the country by Golf World’s Top 100 rankings.
What impact do you anticipate this outcome will have on green fee prices?
I wish to these golf clubs that not only a tiny fraction of Golf Digest readers will ever visit them.
Social proof usage tips
- Be authentic: Fake reviews or endorsements can quickly damage your reputation.
- Diversify your social proofs: Use a mix of different types of social proof to reach a wider audience. Combine reviews, UGC, influencer endorsements, and testimonials for a more well-rounded strategy. Don’t limit social proof to just one platform, so share examples across your website, social media, email newsletters, and offline where it makes sense.
- Respond to reviews as quickly as you can and thank customers for their testimonials.
