"We’re very proud of our team members and their efforts in exceeding our customers’ expectations in both service and course conditions."
The Customer Loyalty Awards are based completely on consumer response from the NGF’s online customer satisfaction survey – CLASPâ?¢ (Customer Loyalty and Satisfaction Program). Recipients were selected from more than 400 golf courses participating in the program in 2005 and over 250,000 completed surveys in the system.
NGF presented awards in three categories: Premium Daily Fee Facilities, Standard Daily Fee Facilities, and Municipal Facilities. Each category contained an overall winner and nine runners-up. Winners were determined by the rating each golf course received from their golfers based on importance and satisfaction in 12 key areas of the golf facility including: overall value, course condition, pace of play, customer service, amenities, aesthetics and scenery, and overall experience. Other criteria included the willingness of their golfer to recommend the golf course to others and to return to play the golf course in the future.
