Flip City Rating

[Hamilton]

Congratulations to Flip City for finally achieving their dream of being #1! I guess the recent 4.5 for Idlewild brought it down just enough.

doh...i think that was me with the 4.5...

You know the fact that there is a lively debate on which couse is better pretty much negates the purpose of reviewing. People will give artificially high or low scores so their home course will be number one. Oh sure we can all be REALLY unbiased....right? So how many folks reregisted from work under a different IP address and email address to pump up their favorite course?

that is hopefully where the trusted reviewers come in, so you know which reviews are hopefully the more accurate ones

after all, the purpose of this site is to help people learn as much as possible about potential new courses to play before they travel to play them - if people feel the need to 'pump up' their favorite courses that bad, then so be it, they are only fooling themselves, but that is not the goal of the site and I think Tim has done a great job with the overall goal

chances are, over rating your home courses will likely disappoint traveling players who play it, which might increase the chance that those traveling players will rate the course lower than normal

I think in regards from everything I have read, and have heard from players who have played most of DGCR's top ten, that it is pretty right on with what courses should be in the top ten. Don't think a lot of courses with 10+ reviews on this site are gonna make it with a home course over-rated bias review here and there.

nothing is unbiased. just take what you want from the reviews.
