My reviews:
I attempt to write my reviews with the goal of helping other players determine the opportunity cost of playing that course versus other ones in the area. "If I have one afternoon to play a course in this city or town, which one should I play that's right for my skill level and preferences in a course?" That's the question I seek an answer to when reading others' reviews and that's what I attempt to answer in the reviews I write.

Course ratings:
I believe that the average course rating across the thousands of courses in DGCR should be 2.50. I also believe that there should be more 2.5-rated courses than any other rating, followed by 2.0's and 3.0's, followed by 1.5's and 3.5's, then 1.0's and 4.0's, and then 0.5's and 4.5's. 5.0's and 0.0's should be exceedingly rare. (It should be a bell curve.) I think there is some rating inflation in DGCR, but not much. Most of the rating inflation, in my opinion, is at the bottom of the scale (2.5 courses that should be 1.5-2.0, 2.0 courses that should be 1.0-1.5, 1.5 courses that should be 0.5-1.0, etc.). I actually think many courses rated 3.5+ are *underrated.* But overall, as long as lots of DGCR reviewers continue to review, the ratings -- and especially the rankings -- tend to work themselves out. There is wisdom in crowds.

The factors I weigh when reviewing a course:
- Fun factor
- Challenge
- Unique design features
- Course flow
- Variety
- Elevation
- Risk/reward
- Fast greens, death putts, and elevated baskets
- Multiple ways to play holes
- Fairness
- Scoring separation
- Aesthetics
- Upkeep
- Safety
- Navigation and signage
- Tees
- Baskets
- Bathrooms and other amenities
- Wow factor and signature holes
- Big points off for poor safety
