How to read the status labels
- Open: the operator confirms normal play has begun.
- Preview play: limited holes, dates, or booking inventory may be available.
- Scheduled or expected: an official target exists but remains subject to construction and grow-in.
- Project watch: the project is credible, but readers should not make travel plans yet.
Before booking a new course
Confirm the playable hole count, walking or cart policy, opening-season conditions, cancellation rules, and whether a stay is required. Future profiles will link directly to official course and booking sources rather than relying on third-party opening lists.

Editorial standard
Golf Buying Guide distinguishes confirmed openings from provisional targets, records the date each claim was checked, and uses real course imagery only when reuse rights and context are documented. We do not publish an aggregate course rating without an original, disclosed review process.
