How We Verify Club Data
Every entry in World Polo Guide passes through a multi-step verification process before it is published and after it is updated.
Official Website Cross-Check
Every club listing is verified against the club's own official website or national federation registry. Location, contact details, and membership information are confirmed at source before publication.
Direct Club Contact
For key data points such as membership fees, season dates, and handicap ceilings, our team contacts clubs directly by email or phone. Responses are logged and timestamped.
Community Reports
Registered users can flag outdated or incorrect data through the "Report an Error" function. All flags are reviewed within 5 business days and corrections are applied with a public change note.
Annual Review Cycle
Every club record undergoes a full data audit once per year. If a club cannot be contacted or verified within the review window, the listing is marked "Pending Verification" until confirmation is received.
Data Update Schedule
Different data types change at different rates. Here is how frequently each category is refreshed.
