Seven cities are being researched and carry no count, because a count means an editor chose those venues. None has been chosen yet.
The Standard
A venue must earn inclusion.
GolfSpots is a guide, not a marketplace. Every selected venue clears a baseline of proof — golf central to the experience, credible technology, a maintained environment, real access, verifiable facts — then earns its place on one clear primary strength.

The first edition.
Eleven rooms across the city, almost all on TrackMan, and priced for a weeknight hour rather than an occasion.
Next
Research is under way in all seven. A city appears above when an editor has selected venues in it, not before.
