Good reviews are the bedrock of Top 100 Golf Courses. When articulating your experience, we want you to be open, honest and fair.
In the past, Top 100 Golf Courses had a policy of not publishing one-line reviews. Whilst not a hard and fast rule, a single sentence to the positive or negative without explanation isn't usually helpful to successive readers or the Top 100 audience.
Please also be aware, the first sentence of your review is used as a header. It is usually helpful to summarise your overall experience and explain your lasting impression.
How was the routing of the course? (Did it take advantage of the most interesting features of the land? Did it use major topographical features multiple times?)
Did the golf course flow with a steady cadence? (Was it nails from the beginning? Did it offer breather holes? Did it compress and release in terms of difficulty?)
Was it walkable? What about the distances between tees and greens?
Were there standout holes? Perhaps one alone that makes it worth a visit?
Was there a particularly strong stretch of holes? (Perhaps a minimum of three?)
Was there a unique feature that you've rarely seen elsewhere?
How were the par 3's as a set? Which were your favourites? (Were they all heroic? Did they ask different questions of you depending on pin location?)
Was there variety in the par 4's? (Short, medium and long? Were there half-par holes?)
Did the Par 5's stimulate risk-taking? (Going for it in two? Were there options for multiple routes to the hole? Was there excitement on every shot?)
How were the greens? (Speed is secondary to contour, shaping, and trueness.)
How were the putting surfaces? (Trueness vs simply fast.)
How were the playing surfaces? (Firm & fast vs green, lush and soft.)
How was the bunkering? Was it unique, ubiquitous or homogenous?
