Apparently it's already to late to edit this post and add a smiley face but in case the tone is lost, this is meant to be read as (attempted) humor not bitterness. I realized after the fact it might sound like the latter.

I do something like that if I run across a review that speaks to me, I'll read the other reviews from that person in the area. But afa that particular manor of rating not cutting it, couldn't you just as well say that about the current system? or maybe you are saying that. ...But If you're...

yeah, no, I don't think that's going to happen. There might be ways around that. The rating tool could just pick some number of random ones to A/B. Or it could use your initial answers to hone in on the vicinity of the ranking quickly and thus be able to skip most of the comparisons. I'll...

That's one of the beauties of this system. You don't have to think that hard about it. You don't need to consider where a course fits in at all. It would just ask you "course A or course B", "Course A or Course C", "course A or Course D" and so on. Even if you "make a mistake" and pick a...

So what? It's pretty unreasonable to expect something so much a part of some site not to be continually discussed on it's forums. If you don't want to read another post about it, don't. but if you don't then don't be a jerk to the poster. And clearly you didn't read my idea but felt the need to...

Fair points but with this system you don't have to come up with a ranking up front. Everything is "course A or course B?" I was taught this as an easier way to rank things you're struggling to rank. You'll end up with a ranking but you don't have to start out with one. I don't have a great...

Oh, for sure. I read the reviews to make calls on where I want to go (and hell sometimes when I get bored I read reviews of courses I'll probably never play) and I'm very aware people have different criteria. Mine sure seem to be different than most. But I *do* sometimes when taking a road trip...

For places that get lots of reviews, sure. But there are lots of courses on here with three, four, five reviews that are overrated because one or two folks who had some hand in building it or are excited about their new local course gave it 4 stars when it's really a 1 or 2. Also, if people...

How about a separate ranking system that was based on "which course would you rather play?" It's been a looong time since I took a statistics class so IDRC what this system is called but I *think* it's a thing. Every time you go to rate a new course, it would go down the list of courses you've...
