Passing the test procedure to become one of the "Leading Golf Courses" is not easy.

A comprehensive catalog of quality criteria, including the condition of fairways and greens, the appearance of the entire course, the clubhouse, the service facilities for players, the stores and the general quality and competence of the staff, must be met.

To ensure this, anonymous testers of all levels, so-called "mystery players", are sent to various golf courses. Using a questionnaire with over 100 detailed questions on quality criteria such as course characteristics or service quality, they evaluate the clubs and only the judgment of several testers determines whether the requirements for THE LEADING GOLF COURSES quality seal are met.
