Community Rules

Last updated: October 2, 2026

GreensReport works because golfers tell each other the truth about course conditions. These rules exist to keep it that way. They apply to reports, comments, photos, your display name, and messages you send to other golfers.

Report what you saw

Report conditions you actually played or walked. Not what you heard, and not what you assume.
If you are not sure, say so in the comment. "Greens looked punched from the 1st tee" is useful. Guessing is not.
Do not report a course to settle a score with it.

Zero tolerance

We do not allow, and we remove without warning:

Abuse, harassment, threats, or targeting another golfer.
Hate speech, or content that demeans anyone for who they are.
Sexual content, graphic violence, or anything illegal.
Photos of other people taken without their knowledge. Photograph the course, not the golfers on it.
Spam, advertising, or repeated off-topic posting.
Impersonating a course, a superintendent, or another golfer.

Reporting and blocking

Every report, photo and message can be reported as inaccurate, offensive, spam, or harassment. You can also block another golfer, which hides their reports, comments and photos from you and stops them messaging you.

We review abuse reports within 24 hours. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and the golfers responsible lose access to GreensReport. Content that several golfers report as abusive is hidden automatically while we review it.

What happens to your account

A first breach usually means the content comes down. Harassment, hate speech and anything illegal mean the account goes, immediately and permanently. We do not operate a strike system for those.

Questions, or something we got wrong

If we removed something of yours and you think we were wrong, email andrew@greensreport.com. A person reads it.
