Movement in top 10

[discNDav]

would you say a true 4.5 or closer to a 4.75

closer to 4.75, it's one of the best I've played (now about 400 courses). If it were only 18 of the best holes out of 22 there I'd say 5 stars! Loved it.

I wonder how easy it would be to have an annual DGCR top 10? Seems like it can take so long for good courses to get onto the overall top 10 here, and we've all discussed the fact that older reviews propping up traditional top 10 courses may not reflect current conditions/reviews. There could still be a threshold, say at least 4 or 5 reviews from trusted reviewers.

Just looking for some way I guess to better highlight some of these great up and coming courses.

I think Tim does that every year.

This site used to publish an annual Top 10, consisting of only reviews from the just-completed year and with a lower threshold (10, I think). For all I know, it may still be somewhere and I haven't seen it. It didn't supplant the overall Top 10 on the home page, but was interesting to see.

Edit: Biscoe beat me to it. I thought I had this time of morning to myself.

Diavolo was THE course I was originally thinking might snag a top ten spot next. Almost everything I've heard about it has been nothing but glowing praise.

Well then let me be the first. It's a really nice course. But too many ~300 foot hyzers and simply not hard enough from the tips to be world class. Nathan Queen shot 17 down on the 22-hole layout, I believe the first time he played it.

Ultimately a poor man's Maple Hill. Which is fine! But maybe not Top 10.

Keep in mind, Nathan played Diavolo with course designer Jay Pontier (and Sadie ), so I'm sure Jay told him where to go, and where not to go. Being a Pro, I'm sure he could hit all the spots he needed to. I doubt he was playing it blind.

Tim quit doing this a couple of years ago. You can get all the same info by using (or not using) the filters when you browse courses.

there is the top courses page. i think tim should throw a different top 10 in there somehow, like top 10 reviewed in the last year... but yeah you can just put your own search together (i got a top 9 for the young (<5yrs) courses here) :

this is the top 10 thread, so i was aiming for exactly 10... not all that easy, but finally got it: https://www.dgcoursereview.com/brow...scape[]=2&landscape[]=3&private=1&paytoplay=1

 

[elmexdela]

i had no clue you could custom search like that holy crap

[elmexdela]

[glassila]

Thanks for the searching tips! So here is a list of all courses, installed since 2015, currently rated 4.5 or better (highest at the top), with a minimum of 5 reviews. There were 20 total. Some, like Harmony, obviously have enough votes to make the main top 10 list, but I thought this would be helpful to see if you are within shouting distance of a top course you were otherwise unaware of.

Harmony Bends DGC**** Columbia, MO
Persimmon Ridge DGC***** Greenbier, AR
Caliber DGC******* Sandpoint, ID
501 Disc Golf**** Warren, MA

You don't need to use foul language to make your point.


Guess I'll just have to settle for Toboggan season.
