JUDGING CRITERIA
Courses are judged on four criteria and will be scored on points for each criteria based on a maximum of 10 points and a minimum of 1. Decimal points can also be used to assess clubs that are awarded similar scores.

  • Quality of test and design - variety of holes, presentation of hazards, use of all clubs in the bag
  • Visual appeal and enjoyment - the aesthetics of the course, its appeal to the eye and enjoyment factor for golfers of all categories
  • Fairness and presentation - what condition is the course in - firmness/smoothness of the greens, tees - topdressed, all year round conditioning or winter tees to protect - fairways are divots repaired, winter rules throughout the year - bunkers, enough sand, rakes provided
  • Ambience/history - feel good factor - does the course offer overall atmosphere - does it have tournament history, traditional values?
