How often is club data updated?

Contact details are reviewed monthly, pricing quarterly, and every listing goes through a full annual audit. Time-sensitive data such as current-season fixtures is updated as soon as changes are notified to us.

How do I report an error in a club listing?

Use the "Report an Error" button on any club or player page, or email data@worldpologuide.com with the club name, the incorrect field, and the correct value. We aim to review all reports within 5 business days.

Are pricing figures guaranteed to be current?

Pricing data carries an inherent lag — clubs may change fees between our quarterly update cycles. All pricing entries include a "last verified" date. Always confirm current fees directly with the club before booking.

What happens to a listing that cannot be verified?

If a club does not respond to two contact attempts during the annual audit cycle, the listing is marked "Pending Verification." It remains visible so users are aware of the club, but a notice advises readers to independently confirm details.

Can club managers update their own listing?

Yes. Club managers can claim their listing through the Submit / Claim a Club process. Claimed listings are prioritised in the verification queue and managers receive email prompts before each review cycle.

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Registered users can flag outdated or incorrect data through the "Report an Error" function.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.
