The course may be ready for the season while the website still carries last year’s details. A focused review helps staff catch the mismatches visitors encounter when looking for a tee time or planning a group event.

Review the information guests act on

Check published operating details, directions, contact numbers, and current event information. Confirm that old announcements are removed or clearly dated. Ask the responsible manager to verify any rates or packages before they are published. The purpose is not to rewrite every page; it is to make sure actionable information reflects the current operation.

Walk through the important journeys

Try the booking link, event enquiry route, and membership contact process from a phone. Use a labelled test where appropriate and confirm the destination team receives it. Review external provider links separately from the website itself. If software updates are part of the maintenance scope, check these journeys again afterwards rather than relying only on the absence of visible errors.

Prepare for changes during the season

Agree on who can request an update and which information needs approval. Review backup arrangements before larger changes, including what would be restored and by whom. Keep a short log of seasonal content updates so a future team knows why something changed. Schedule the next information review around the course’s calendar, not an arbitrary date nobody owns.

MAKE IT ACTIONABLE
