I happen to be traveling right now, and I’m stopping at golf courses along the way just to take a look at their facilities, scorecards and pro shops. My intent is to get a feel for their women-friendliness. Granted, this is a very cursory judgment, but there are a few clues:
- Am I greeted by the staff as a golfer?
- Are there at least two sets of tees sloped and rated for women?
- Are the holes handicapped for women?
- Are there similar locker room facilities for both genders?
- Is the Pro Shop equipped with merchandise for both genders?
I visited a club today that was very imporessive in all of these categories. I was so anxious to play! Better yet, it was a walking course. Unfortunately, my trip was not designed as a golf trip, but I’d love to return and play some of the courses I’ve visited.
