Go Big Golf Course Rating Criteria
Courses are rated using the following criteria. Each area is scored using our rating scale from 1-5. Just like in golf the lowest score is the best. We then take the score from all ten criteria and determine the average overall rating for the course. NOTE: This is not scientific and the ratings only reflect those opinions of the rater. Go Big Golf does not at any time discuss or solicit the course staff in an attempt to influence the ratings. We make every effort possible to rate the facility honestly and fairly. We are open to any and all comments to our ratings in an effort to provide our readers the best information possible.
