Three steps to the ranking.

First the criteria, then the courses, then the top 10 in order.

The method

  • 65 of the 100 points come from measurable data; the other 35 from four criteria, each with its reasoning published
  • Each course counts for more or less depending on whether you can play it or only look at it
