“This course gets a five-star rating.” Something you might say to one of your friends. A compliment sure, but not an example of course rating. As one of GAP’s premiere services, course rating is as necessary as water on a sweltering July day. Here’s how it works. GAP course rating volunteers rate every member course on a seven-year rotation, as well as any other area course requesting service. John Manos, GAP Director of Course Rating, then reviews each rating to make sure that criteria is consistently being applied. Creating an equitable playing field for all golfers is paramount. Once a golf course is rated, then scores can be posted for handicap purposes. GAP rates 50 courses annually. This service gets five stars.
