Top Courses and More

Post by SteveHorn »

I've decided to post a list of my current course ratings over the past 4 seasons of tournament play. I still have MANY courses that I haven't played in the last 4 seasons so they of course aren't rated. Its only the past 4 seasons that I've offically kept track of ratings of my own.
Each season I roughly play 50 percent of the tournaments with courses that have never been played in tournament mode. I'm asking for the communities help in deciding what unplayed course's I should play in the upcoming season. I have several Hundred on disk that have yet to be played in a tournament. Input and comments welcome.

MY CURRENT TOP ELEVEN COURSE’S

#1 Coastal Links at Edisto Island (9.9 A+)
#2 Arcaida Bluffs (9.9 A+)
#3 North American Woods (9.9 A+)
#4 Point Reyes National (9.85 A+)
#5 Mill Creek G.C. (9.85 A+)
#6 Stone Pony (9.85 A+)
#7 The Lakes Course at Pine Ridge (9.85 A+)
#8 Glen Haven (9.8 A)

David ! Thanks for the input. Thats alot of courses but I'd like you to narrow it down to 3 to 5 on which courses I should play in the up coming season. No guarantee's that I'll play them all. They must be on my pre list and meet yardage requirement. Minimum yardage isn't all that long because of the way the game does yardage for doglegs but there are a few that don't qualify. Also a few on your list are already on my played list.

Steve,
I'm currently playing every course on Dars A list, as my season tour venues.
My personal performance may have suffered in making cuts and winning, but I sure am getting to play a LOT of courses that I hadn't considered.
I've got about 230 to go, and then I plan to revisit all the ones I rate as A+ courses.

What's your yardage cut off? I know most of my courses probably aren't long enough but I'm curious if Bull's Eye makes the cut. I'm working a version of it for WGC where I'll probably add some additional fictitious back tees on some holes to accommodate for the 300 yard drives in that game. I'd be curious if you think I should port these tees over to the updated PGA version I'll finish later as well.
