Quality starts with design, and the GolfDay Rating places significant emphasis on the course architect. Names like Flynn, Mackenzie, Tillinghast or Ross may not be familiar to everyone, but when you play a course designed by one of them you will feel it immediately and cherish the experience. The GolfDay Course Directory includes courses designed by nearly two thousand architects, and each has been evaluated to assure that the GolfDay Rating is an accurate reflection of course quality. Additional GolfDay rating criteria include USGA Course and Slope ratings, current rankings by Golf Digest, Golfweek and Links Magazine, general course conditioning, and the scope and quality of practice facilities. For private courses the GolfDay Rating also reflects the age and prestige of a club. The rating a golf resort receives is based on all of the criteria outlined above, as well as the variety of courses offered, accommodations, service level and other amenities.
Golf is a big investment in time as well as money, and you want to maximize your return on that investment. The GolfDay Rating gives you an immediate standard to measure quality, a direct link to course online rates and booking for the best price, map and directions so you know how long it will take to get there, and local course weather so you don’t wind up wet and miserable. Each listing also includes information on the warm-up and practice facilities offered at each public and resort course, as well as direct informational links such as course description, photos, accommodations and golf packages. And if a course is locally or nationally ranked by Golf Digest or Golfweek, it will be indicated on the listing along with the current USGA course and slope rating. The GolfDay course directory will assure that your valuable time isn’t wasted, and help get the most enjoyment from your day on the links. Have a great round!
