Stoney Hill is also above my skill level (as you saw) yet I think that for that reason I gave it a little bit of a rating bump up. If you miniaturized Stoney Hill and had the exact same course but shrunk it down to Red level length because you intended it for Red level players I think I would have unconsciously decreased my rating a little bit. This is an example of how, in practice, I give higher ratings to more difficult/ higher skill level courses.
True bagger test would be: How many courses have you played that are the lowest rated in their state?
Not necessarily an achievement per se, more of a test of how addicted/dedicated you are to course bagging.
I love it! I just searched for courses in my home state of Michigan that are rated between 0.0 and 0.5. It turned up 43 courses. Of those, 36 simply don't have any reviews yet. The other seven have between 1-3 poor ratings with the very worst being a course about an hour's drive from me with two 0.0s and one 0.5. It's also listed as a pay-to-play course, and the course conditions show it as unplayable with no reason given as to why. So this will be an even more serious bagger test.

Might take you up on that!
Driving down to see my daughter on the tail end of that, so Wed the 28th, Tyler and Muddy Run are possibilities (legs permitting.
Might even be able to hit RFK pop up if it's still there.
