Description

Using data from nearly one thousand raters from all over the globe, Golfweek Rater host, Thomas Dunne and fellow Rater architectural panelists Jay Blasi, Jim Hansen and Sara Mess, discuss the best golf courses from all over the United States, Canada, the Caribbean & Mexico, Great Britain & Ireland, Asia & the Pacific Rim, Europe and South Africa. Golfweek Rater also brings you interviews with several golf course architects where they discuss their thought process, vision and inspiration. Golfweek maintains a stable of +/- 800 raters, drawn from all 50 states and over a dozen foreign countries, who make up the Golfweek’s Best rating panel. The principle goal of the rating panel is to establish Golfweek rankings of the top golf courses from each of two eras: Classic (opened before 1960) and Modern (opened 1960 or after).
