Leonard van Nunen

Mystery visits and guest experience consultancy for premium golf courses and resorts. Every visit is conducted by senior industry experts — no junior auditors. Where needed, Leonard and his team work hands-on alongside a club's staff to actually implement improvements, whether that means the website, the welcome process, the F&B, or the course operation itself.

Leonard leads the global team of Official Expert Raters at Leading Courses — Europe's largest golf course review and booking platform. Expert Raters are highly active golfers worldwide whose reviews carry greater depth and weighting than standard user reviews. Leonard curates this group, organises international trips to reward their commitment, and oversees the quality of their editorial output.

Since 2017 Leonard has been an apprentice to Alan Rijks, one of the Netherlands' leading golf course architects. Under Alan's guidance he produces design drawings, joins site visits on live projects, and is building his portfolio towards the EIGCA Vocational Qualification in Golf Course Design. His completed projects include par-3 layouts, 9-hole redesigns, and a full 18-hole redesign. One of his most recent designs is currently awaiting client approval for construction.

Founded in 2025 together with Jeroen Korving, The Centenary is a non-profit digital platform for golf clubs that are 100 years and older. It modernises reciprocal play arrangements between historic clubs — replacing letters and secretary-to-secretary correspondence with a streamlined digital network. Members can discover reciprocal clubs, request visits, and clubs retain full control over availability and approvals.

Currently in beta, Bucketlist Golf is a dedicated journal and tracking tool for the devoted golfer. Explore the world's premier course rankings, track which courses you have played, build custom lists, and compare your progress with a community of course obsessives. Built for golfers who take their course exploration seriously.
