December 6, 2016, New York, N.Y. – Golf Vacation Insider, the world’s largest and most engaged audience of golf travelers, today launched its awards series called, “The World’s Best Golf Experiences,” as the fastest, most complete, and most reliable way for golfers to know where to spend their time and money.
In its first installment of The World’s Best Golf Experiences, Golf Vacation Insider has selected The Best Golf and Casino Resorts in the United States and will be distributing the list of 60 “Platinum,” “Gold” and “Silver” winners to its 425,000 email subscribers.
Rather than focusing only on golf and using a single panel of raters, Golf Vacation Insider hired a mathematician and statistician to combine and weight the rankings, ratings and reviews from dozens of credible sources across golf, lodging, dining, and off-course activities to identify the properties offering the best overall experiences.
In addition to Golf Vacation Insider’s firsthand property knowledge, other sources included in its scoring algorithm are the authoritative Golf Odyssey travel newsletter, Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, Golfweek, respected golf writers/bloggers; consumer reviews from websites such as TripAdvisor and Yelp, major social media websites, and opinions from Golf Vacation Insider’s 425,000 email subscribers.
“By combining and carefully weighting ratings and opinions from multiple sources, including our own, we have developed the most comprehensive and reliable way for golf travelers to know where they will have the best overall experiences,” said Craig Better, editor and publisher of Golf Vacation Insider. “Resorts and golf courses who make it onto our lists should be extremely proud that they have passed the most rigorous and comprehensive screening process in the world.”
Golf Vacation Insider will distribute the list of Best Golf and Casino Resorts to its audience as well as highlight individual properties and destinations in future email alerts.
