I have no issue with Dave's ratings of these two courses, he's made it very clear that design and challenge (along with wooded, natural beauty) are the things that are important to him. Just in terms of design, challenge, and variety, Leviathan is a better course. If you include atmosphere and maintenance as many (including me) do, Flip can get a higher rating, but if those things aren't important to you it's not that hard to see giving Leviathan a higher rating. He goes out of his way to justify why he rated those courses the way he did, the whining about Flip getting a 'low' rating is a bit petty imo.
And this comment I just don't get. Dave never puts in a lefty bias in his reviews, in fact he makes it very clear that he likes a variety of holes that will test different skills and shots.
Being a righty myself, his overwhelming left-handed bias just confuses me.
