This policy sets out how Range and Putt decides what to publish, how it stays independent of the venues it lists, and how it corrects mistakes.

Independence

Listings are free and are not for sale. A venue cannot pay to be added, to be placed higher or to change its description. Lists are ordered by name or by a stated fact such as price, never by a commercial relationship.

Sourcing

Every fact on a listing comes from a named source that is linked on the page, in this order of preference: the venue's own website, the organisation that operates it, its official social media, then local news reporting. We do not publish a fact that we cannot trace to a source. The full method is on the about page.

Accuracy and dates

Each listing carries a last-checked date, and each price carries its own date. When a source is unclear or two sources disagree, we use the venue's own page and say so, or leave the detail out.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email hello@rangeandputt.com. We check the report against the venue's sources, fix the listing if it is wrong, and record the change on the recent updates page. Venue owners are welcome to send corrections, and they are held to the same sourcing rule as everything else.

Closures

When a venue closes for good it is removed from the lists and the closure is noted in the updates log.

Advertising and affiliate links

The guide does not currently carry advertising or affiliate links. If that changes, ads will be labelled, any link that earns a commission will be marked as such, and neither will affect which venues are listed or what is said about them. This page will be updated before any such change takes effect.

Guides and advice

Advice pages cite golf's governing and professional bodies, equipment makers' own documentation or our own price data, and say which. They are reviewed when the facts they rely on change.
