    Why do people hate my reviews?

    That's fair but what I don't want to do is have my reviews become so long, I mean so many courses already have tons of long reviews, I wanted my reviews to be fairly concise. I tried to elaborate in that it was fun and unique on every hole, but without giving a detailed description on every...

    Why do people hate my reviews?

    I didnt really give any crazy high or crazy low reviews. Maybe 1? But every course I gave 4+ to I think is worth traveling to. Tbh I think this points to a hiveminding of opinions on this website. For example, I gave a good rating to a course where I noticed some people giving middling ratings...

    Why do people hate my reviews?

    I mean, I did. Basically a paragraph per section, a couple just a sentence or two but usually longer. Not as long as some other reviews but a course that already has 20+ reviews, 15 of which are extremely long, probably doesn't need another book of a review. Also, similarly concise reviews were...

    Why do people hate my reviews?

    Recently signed up and started giving reviews and no one is "finding them helpful", I'm giving factual information and trying to help by giving my honest opinion of the course, I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I've seen some pretty terrible reviews that I disagree with but I didn't trash their...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Gaffney's Grove DGC

    3.50 star(s) Short and fun A course designed with the player in mind. Fun and unique on every hole. Plays through some tight woods but with smart pad design, nothing too daunting. Novice-friendly but not without its challenges. Too short for my liking, plenty of cheap ace runs. Small course with some hole...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Dawson Park

    3.00 star(s) More challenging than advertised A solid course that plays around a pretty little park in a scenic area. Elevation and tight lanes make for a course that is more challenging than its length would suggest. A couple well-designed holes mixed in with a couple plain or weird ones but most have...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Fort Steilacoom Park - Northwest

    4.00 star(s) Fun course mostly through woodsy area A lot of fun holes with interesting elevation change elements. Good course design with lots of open space. Great natural terrain to walk through. Relatively tough to lose a disc. Good parking and fairly easy access. All around solid course. Not much of a...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Cornwall Park

    2.50 star(s) Extremely short but not terrible Decent layout, cute park with easy access, solid equipment Course plays way too short to be all that interesting. Plenty of people around usually. Fun course if you're local but not really worth a trip or anything. The designers of the course did what they could...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Terrace Creek

    2.00 star(s) Hard to play A very fun first few holes, despite the big hikes. Proper signage and quality tees and pads. Hole goes downhill after the first few holes. Way too close to crowded areas/playground/highly frequented trails. After hole 9 or so is an unnavigable mess before eventually clearing out...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Howling Coyote DGC

    1.50 star(s) Meh A couple good holes in there Some of the course is an unplayable mess. Thick brush mess for a couple later holes that are hard to find. Not a well designed course. No facilities or much of anything. Needs paths, signage, and a major cleanup

    Review by PHDParrot in course Ralph Williamson Memorial DGC

    5.00 star(s) What I look for in a course! This is what I look for in a course! Very good pads and pins. Great variety in length, openness/woodedness, one true water hole and a couple fun bonus holes. Good parking, chainbangers at the course, good practice hole area, good facilities. Loads of fun! Not much to...

    Review by PHDParrot in course White River

    4.00 star(s) Nice course design This course feels like a nice walk in the park. Very good diversity and unique, well-designed holes. A lot of challenging but short holes and a couple open long ones. A lot of people/trails nearby. Pad locations don't always make a ton of sense. Tends to be quite crowded...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Tall Firs DGC

    4.50 star(s) Very beautiful and fun Beautiful, open greens and great scenery! Some holes that are largely long and open still manage to be interesting with some quirks and elevation changes. Multiple pads make for solid gameplay in any group. Nitpicking, but when the clubhouse was open, the people there...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Seatac DGC

    4.50 star(s) Marathon of a course Love this course! Rather difficult relative to par but no truly crazy holes. Good variety. Well planned course with plenty of unique, enjoyable holes. Don't skip out on the extra nine because the par 4s are the best holes on the course. I really don't like the design of hole...

    Review by PHDParrot in course Double K Retreat & Adventure Center

    4.00 star(s) Improving and fun Excellent design, great location, a lot of fun to play. True to par with some slightly easier and some slightly more difficult holes. A lot of interesting features that make each hole unique. Hole 16 basket is too close to power lines and may need a redesign. Tee pads and...
