How it works
The standard for family golf club quality
The Family Golf Club Index evaluates golf clubs based on how they perform for families in real conditions – not marketing claims.
Each year, TFGC evaluates golf clubs using a multi-source scoring system:
- Family reviews from verified visits
- Club-submitted data across key facilities and access points
- Independent third-party ratings for broader context
These inputs are combined into a single Family Golf Club Index Score, ensuring every ranking reflects both real experience and measurable standards.
The results are published annually and celebrated in Family Golf Awards©️.
The #1 ranked club earns the right to host the TFGC Championship.
