Tips for Getting the Most from TeeRadar
Use Multiple Search Strategies
Don't rely on just one search method. Try both keyword searches and directory browsing to discover courses you might miss with a single approach.
Read Player Reviews
Pay attention to reviews to understand course conditions, pace of play, staff friendliness, and value for money beyond just the statistics.
Check Seasonal Availability
Review the seasonality information on course profiles to ensure the course is open during your planned visit, especially for destinations with seasonal closures.
Explore Rankings for Inspiration
Visit the Rankings page to discover top-rated courses you might not find through traditional searches, helping you build your golf bucket list.
Filter Strategically
Start with broader filters and gradually narrow them down. Too many filters at once might eliminate great courses that don't match all criteria.
Use the Yardage Filter
Set yardage ranges based on your skill level: beginners might prefer 5000-6000 yards, intermediates 6000-6800, and advanced players 6800+ yards.
