| Niagara Golf Courses
A sometimes difficult decision is in choosing a place to play, a dilemma that has given rise to the widespread practice of ranking golf courses. Recognizing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, differences of opinion are to be expected. The criteria for ranking golf courses are as varied as the courses themselves, with some ranking agencies using course difficulty, others rewarding aesthetics, customer service, membership and / or practice facilities. The fact of the matter is that there is simply no one correct or fair way to objectively compare or rank golf courses. |
