    if ranking should you not take into account the par of the course?
    eg fota ranks 2.5 shots harder than par but douglas is ahead of it but is only .9 shots harder than par

    Foxrock - Par 70, Course rating 70.4, Slope 122.

    Sounds roughly right.

    Castlewarden, Blue Tees, Par 72, Course Rating 72.9, Slope 129

    Differs from the provisional ratings I originally received from the club, but seems reasonable relative to some of the other clubs listed above

    Is there a chance that a similar list for courses off the white tees could be drawn up.

    For this thread I just have it sorted by slope rating and if this is the same by course rating. On mature reflection it seems that the difference between course rating and par probably gives a better indication of the toughness of the course.

    This is what I was saying when I heard they were ranking courses based on set criteria. When you describe corballis it sounds very easy. When you look at the scores it seems to be very much in line with other clubs. Comparing to the other club where I have been a member I'm set to get about 8 extra shots playing there. And to be honest, I find corballis harder. Maybe the conditions adjustment will average it out a bit?

    It cant because it is same as adjustment to CSS, maximum 3 added to the rating

    Two rounds there has already added a shot to my new handicap. Playing again on Friday and probably a couple more times befor Nov. My handicap might be 3 or 4 shots higher at tis rate

    From those figures it looks like there's not much difference between the blues and the whites. I'm guessing that's not the case in your estimation!?

    Couple of crazy blue tees, particularly on the new 5th.
    Its tough enough from the whites. They have recently cut back a bit of the landing areas right and left of some of the fairways as too many lost balls, so that may be a factor.

    We've had 4 medals this year and only one person has broken 70 (nett). So yeah, its tough! Winning scores have been 69,70,71,71.

    A Player with Handicap Index of 15.0 would get 2 extra shots playing from the Blues based on those numbers

    I was looking to find the hardest I’ve played, and bethpage black comes in at 155 off the tips. 77.5 for a par 71. I’ve only played it off the whites which is a still whopper 148, but 74.2 which is actually not that generous given how fiendishly difficult it is.

    I’m a reasonably decent driver of the ball, and there’s holes where I genuinely reckon I’d struggle to reach the fairway from the back sticks, and if I did reach it’s about 15 yards wide with cabbage everywhere.

    Reminds me of The 7th In The European, off the tips, in to the wind. One could be all day trying to make that fairway.
