While many factors that determine how to rate a golf course are
subjective, there are certain basic criteria that are applicable to any
evaluation when looking to define “great.” Here are a few to
consider:
1. Scoring Challenges: Try to rate the level of difficulty, while
maintaining fairness, based on the performance of a scratch golfer
(with a handicap of zero) from the championship tees.
2. Design: Look for variety in the course’s holes, noting lengths,
where hazards are placed, the different configurations, and the
shapes and contours of greens.

3. Natural Beauty: Observe how much the aesthetics of the
surroundings, such as landscaping, plantings, and water features,
increase the pleasure of the experience.
4. Synergy: Note how the design elements (fairways, hazards,
greens, etc.) function at each hole, both individually and collectively
over the entire course.
5. Atmosphere: Examine the overall ambiance and how it reflects the
traditional values associated with the game of golf.
