Was just using the course browser and noticed that are now over 6000 courses in the directory, and if you click the temp button it goes up to 6162. I wonder how many will be there next year?...:thmbup::thmbup:

Sounds like a contest! I guess 10,285. (after2018)
That's just the U.S. course count. Try setting the country to 'Any', and it's nearly 7500.Was just using the course browser and noticed that are now over 6000 courses in the directory,
So with 6000+ courses, anything rated between #1 - #60 is in the top 1%. So stop getting all worked up over one bad rating.

I can't help but notice the downward trend in # of new courses over the past three years.Just remembered you can search by year...

There are 714 extinct courses in the database. I haven't done the query for courses added each year, I will take a look tomorrow. The downward trend may just be that people aren't entering an install year so those courses aren't showing up.Also, on a sad note, I don't know how many courses have gone extinct (never to be seen again) in the last 10 years, but i'm sure it's hundreds.

I don't necessarily think that's sad. More courses going extinct is just a logical after effect of more courses being built.Also, on a sad note, I don't know how many courses have gone extinct (never to be seen again) in the last 10 years, but i'm sure it's hundreds.
I would imagine some of those courses, whether thru bad design or parks making additions that make the courses safety hazards, probably deserved to be closed...I don't necessarily think that's sad. More courses going extinct is just a logical after effect of more courses being built.
