The Forbes advisor has attempted to rank European golf destinations based on new and less recent criteria:
- number and quality of courses,
- value of money
- green fees,
- world-class courses,
- and annual sunshine and precipitation.
Forbes advisor claims that both amateur players and industry experts played a significant role in the rankings, as did the affordability of green fees compared to experience.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how much weigh different indicators are provided in the assessment. I also missed the non-golf related amenities AND family-friendly factors from the list of criteria.
The Forbes adviser relied on the findings and statistics on Leadingcourses.com AND Top100golf courses.com. They added annual sunlight AND annual precipitation statistics too.

What else would be good to understand is this nano (1,000-10,000 followers) and micro-influencers (10,000-100,000) can really help us achieve our business goals. The reason for this is the level of engagement of their readers and followers.
Some companies offer percentage of sales or a lump sum Down influencers in return for cooperation.
