ABOUT PARLO
I build for women and who understand that the women’s golf experience is bigger than the round itself.
WHY WE EXIST
There’s a point before, during, or after a round of golf that rarely gets written about. It’s the moment when your body settles, your attention sharpens, and you start to understand the place you’re in. You notice if feel comfortable walking from one fairway to the next. You reflect on whether you you felt seen or ignored in the pro shop, supported at the first tee, or slightly out of place on the driving range.
Those moments determine if you return or not.
PARLO began from paying attention to that.
WHAT WE DO
PARLO evaluates golf courses using a consistent standard built around the full round from arrival to post-play.
Each course is reviewed across ten key moments, then organized into four core areas:
Body — physical comfort and accessibility
Emotions — how the round feels from start to finish
Identity — how women are treated on the course
Environment — the quality and design of the space
Over time, these observations form a clearer picture and set of patterns of what supports women, what creates friction, and what quietly determines whether a round feels worth repeating.
THE PARLO TRADING CARD
Every course is captured as a Standard Course Card. Players download the Standard card on the course page and leave a post-round review, earning members-only trading access to Signature Cards and Industrial Cards across all PARLO cities and courses. [OPENING SUMMER 2026]

Our Impact
*
Our Impact *
As more women contribute their observations, PARLO becomes something larger than a set of reviews. It becomes a record.
It’s way of understanding where the game feels open, where it feels closed, and where it’s quietly evolving. It grows one round at a time through shared experiences, small details, and the accumulation of perspective.
And in that way, it does something simple but important:
It makes it easier to choose where to play next, with a little more clarity than before. As more courses are reviewed, we’ll begin to notice which environments support women best, where experiences break down, what standards should exist across the industry.
We address how golf has traditionally been evaluated, offering a different layer of insight and centering the lived experience of women playing a round, not just the performance of the course.
