Course review rules
We publish every review that follows our rules, good or bad.
Our promise
We never remove or hide a review because of its rating or its tone. A harsh review that follows the rules stays up, and a glowing one gets no extra weight. Courses can't pay to change or remove a review, and neither can we be paid to.
A review can be removed only for these reasons
- Harassment or a personal attack on a named person
- Hate speech
- A threat
- Sexual content
- Private information about someone
- Clearly false content, such as a course that is not this one
- Not about this course
- Not written by a player: the course, its staff or paid reviewers
- Spam or advertising
- Content that breaks the law
- Copied from another review or from somewhere else
The same rules apply to every review, whatever the stars say.
Who can write one
Golfers with a ParHard account at least 7 days old, and 18 or over. You confirm that you don't work for, own, or get anything from the course, and that the review is your own experience. If we find a finished round of yours at the course, the review can show “Played here” with the month. Never the round, the score or where you were.
How we show ratings
We show how many reviews a course has right away. The average rating appears once a course has 3 reviews from golfers, so one opinion never stands for a course. Reviews are sorted by most recent unless you pick another order.
Quick checks
Some reviews wait for a quick check before they show, for example a first review from a new account or text that matches another review. The check is about who is posting and how, never about what the review says about the course.
No rewards
Nobody is paid or rewarded for a review, and no rating earns anything. We don't write, buy or sell reviews.
Report a review
Signed-in golfers can report any review from its card. A person reads every report.
