Breaking Down the Golf Digest Rankings, Part Two

Last month, I analyzed the category rankings that comprise Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest courses. In that post, I tried to help the reader determine which of the seven categories was most important of them, thus identify which golf courses on the list they were more or less likely to enjoy.

Along those same lines, I listed each of the top 100 courses below and listed 10 other courses on the list that were either most similar or least similar in terms of relative category strengths. For example, if you think of Augusta National more highly than the typical Golf Digest rater, then your personal tastes might gravitate towards the Memorability, Aesthetics and Ambience categories which are a relatively big part of Augusta's overall score. In other words, your personal weights for those category might be higher in those categories than the flat 1.00 Golf Digest assign's to each of the categories (aside from Shot Values x2).

So in the Augusta example, other courses which are relatively strong in the Memorability, Aesthetics and Ambience categories are Cypress Point, Fishers Island, Maidstone, NGLA, Pebble Beach, etc. Makes sense when you think about it. Go down the list and pick out the courses you feel strongly about. You might find a few new top 100 courses to add to your list of targets.
