# How Caddie Tap Trips works

Caddie Tap Trips recommends where to stay for golf trips to 112 top-ranked public courses.

## Which courses
Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Public Courses (2025-26) and GolfPass Golfers' Choice (2026); public-access only.

## Location verification

## Glossary

- **Golf-trip destination**: A group of top-ranked public golf courses where every pair is within 60 km (about 37 miles) of each other.
- **Best base**: The course in a golf-trip destination that minimises total straight-line distance to every other course in the group; Caddie Tap Trips recommends staying near it.
- **Verified course location**: A course location confirmed by two independent sources — the Caddie Tap course catalog and an OpenStreetMap golf-course feature — agreeing within 8 km.
- **Stay-and-play**: A golf trip that pairs a hotel stay with rounds at nearby courses.
