Course Ratings System

 

PLAYABILITY - 40 Points

(A) Greens - 20 Points

Points are deducted for extreme slopes, or complete lack of slopes on a green. Green size is not a factor unless a very large number of greens are very small in size. A good score here means the green has average slopes in it, with no unfair pins where a ball will not stop near the hole with the proper speed.

(B) Fairways - 10 Points

Points are deducted here for a large number of very narrow fairways. One or two will not affect this, I am looking at the overall width of the fairways on this catagory.

(C) Playability - 10 Points

In this catagory, I am looking at unplayable type of situations. One or two spots will not affect this, but a large number of large tree's right in front of a green, or other places where a fair shot is not available to the player.

 

ASTHETICS - 20 Points

(A) Beauty - 10 Points

This is the overall general appearance of a course. First impression type of reaction when you reach the first tee for the first time. Uniqueness is a plus factor here with landscape.

(B) Details - 10 Points

This is the attention to detail in the course. Uniqueness to a course is a plus factor in this catagory. An overabundance of objects, or complete lack of them are negative factors.

 

FAIRNESS - 10 Points

This rates the fairness of a course. I look at the overall fairness of the course, to the golfer. One where good shots are rewarded, and bad shots penalized. Courses that ask a golfer to make ridiculous shots are downgraded.

 

COURSE SIZE - 10 Points

This catagory rates the size of a course in MB's. Not everybody has the luxury of a cable connection, and a 75Gig HardDrive.

 

DID YOU ENJOY PLAYING IT - 20 Points

This is the catch-all catagory. When you are finished, did you enjoy it? Would you like to play it again?

 

 

TOTAL - 100 Points
