New England GolfGuide Rating System
The New England GolfGuide
rating system is based upon multiple
criteria, the most important of which are the course layout, condition,
and the "overall playing experience" of the course.
Other key factors
include:
• the
memorability of the holes,
• the
variety of the holes,
• the
quality of the practice facilities,
• the
professionalism and friendliness of the staff,
• the
value per dollar spent,
• and the
ability to walk the course. Requiring carts at extra cost deducts points.
• See Ratings.
For the first time, New England
GolfGuide course ratings are now based on a 5-star
scale.
To further help distinguish the unique characteristics of one
course from another, we have added ½ star ratings.
• The
5-star rating is reserved for only a handful of the
clearly Outstanding courses in the region.
• 4-star
courses are Excellent, in terms of playing experience,
beauty, conditions, and staff service.
• 3-stars are Very Good, frequently boosted by numerous positive
comments from our readers
• 2 stars
represent Good courses, some of which might be among your favorites.
• Courses
with just 1 star are Average means there’s room
for improvement.
Where do ratings come from?
Two places.
With more than 650 public courses in our
region, the GolfGuide staff cannot visit every course each season, but we have
a group of reliable players and course raters who contribute
comments and update us on layout, conditions, and upgrades.
We also count on feedback from
you, our GolfGuide Community members, to share your insights. To join
