This policy governs work published under the countryclub.ph Research Desk organisational byline.
Purpose and independence
countryclub.ph publishes research to help buyers and sellers understand club-specific facts, market signals and transaction questions. Editorial pages are written for usefulness and accuracy, not to imply that a transaction is risk-free or that a published price is guaranteed.
Source hierarchy
We prefer sources in this order:
- Official club websites, membership handbooks, transfer checklists and corporate disclosures.
- Philippine government and regulatory sources, including BIR and SEC materials.
- Recognised golf associations and course designers for facility facts.
- Specialist market sources for clearly labelled secondary market context.
When public evidence does not support a claim, the profile uses “unknown”, “not verified” or a lower research-confidence label.
Market data
Bids and asks are reference signals. They are not completed transaction prices, appraisals, investment recommendations or guarantees of availability. Market pages identify confidence status, and users should verify the exact share class, ownership, fees and club approval requirements.
Review and updates
Articles display an updated date. Club profiles link to the public sources used in their research. Pages involving rules, government requirements or costs are reviewed when new primary material becomes available. The site’s build process checks unique titles, canonicals, structured data, sitemap coverage and crawlable internal links before release.
Corrections
Substantive corrections should be supported by a current official or primary document. When a reliable source conflicts with an existing page, the page is corrected and its updated date changes. We do not remove accurately sourced information solely because it is commercially inconvenient.
Scope and professional advice
Readers should confirm current requirements directly with the club and obtain appropriate professional advice before committing funds or signing transfer documents.
