i think it's 15.
There's definitely many with under 15. For instance in CT.i think it's 15.
Ya'll aren't paying attention. Vermont does have 25+ courses. They just don't get played/reviewed that much. Only 5 qualify for the 10+ review requirement.
VT has to have one of the best courses or at least destinations in all of new england in Black Falls/Cherry Hills
I tend to think so, but there's also a lot a less skilled players out there that don't know what a good course really is. I just got back from Brakewell - Animal and that should be a top 10 course.Here's my question,are people lowballing top 10 and top 25 courses just to knock them off the lists ? I'm seeing alot of that lately. Brakewell,Harmon Hills,Winter Park...
I could not agree more,Brakewell is awesome. I wish it was just a matter of ignorance to explain lowballing, but there's something else going on...I tend to think so, but there's also a lot a less skilled players out there that don't know what a good course really is.

Actually, it only took 2 back to back 4's to drop harmon hills from 4 to 10. It's when you get over 100 reviews that ratings are harder to move. I think that the same homerism that is often villified for inflating ratings is also at work deflating the competition by lowballing.There's also a tendency for courses to start out with a flurry of really high reviews. Locals are eager to get them on here, and whether by deliberate homerism, lack of experience, or just pride, they initiate the course with high ratings. This brings in other, more traveled, more objective reviewers, and the rating dips.
Of course, you'd have to measure whether the courses whose standing dropped did so because their rating drop, or because newer courses jumped them.
Once a course has 20 or 30 reviews, you have to really lowball it, or get a lot of people lowballing it, to move the overall rating much.

Was that lowballing, or accurate reviews chipping away at the inflated early reviews?
I'm pretty sure that tim is more interested in the number of reviews on this site, rather than the accuracy of them. Otherwise, he would not have dropped the requirement of playing all the holes in order to write a review.

I thought he just didn't like having to pay some much money. He griped about the $40 in both of his reviews. There was definitely a certain amount of copying and pasting going on with his reviews.
