    Anyone played this course in the last 12 months?
    Keen on their opinion.

    I have played the course 4 times now and still have the same opinion.
    The condition of the course is very good. The layout and green sites are dubious imo.

    How many raters actually visited the courses over the last 2 years?
    Actually we all pretty much know the answer, Covid has meant no-one could have travelled in the 2 year period since the last review.
    How can raters actually have rated the courses if they could not travel to inspect the courses?

    The course is a glorified Pitch and Putt- well depending on the Tee option I guess.
    Silly greens.
    Mickey Mouse course.

    Not much love given from my POV.

    Clearly this is a list with Judges who align themselves in their thinking. This list lacks the credibility of AGD and its easy to criticise where some of the courses are rated.

    For instance KH and RM.
    Ocean Dunes CW and the courses at BBD.

    This list lacks continuity of thought and does not deserve being published. The panelists are not necessarily quality Golfers for example, while Mollica is well read and a capable writer he is a foot specialist. I do not understand how a Magazine rates courses and allows this type of critic. The task should be left to either Pro’s or scratch markers and course architects. Even then there will be obvious bias.

    Take the ratings for what they are. Someone’s opinion. We all have opinions..
