Are we saying ice cream is no longer ice cream after it melts?
Interesting.
Ya, and that is a problem. For instance, and let me remove ourselves from disc golf for a moment for some perspective. You could say you don't like vanilla ice cream, you could say that it is bad, and no one should argue with you seriously. However, if you were to say that a bowl of solid state ice cream in front of you was 110 degrees fahrenheit then people would and should disagree with you seriously. We could measure the temperature of that ice cream and it would be objective and it would be a fact. It wouldn't be your fact or my fact or anyone's fact, it would just be a fact.
Methinks that we've somehow strayed from the subject at hand, though.
Should you have the opportunity to play Harmony Bends, do so. I guarandamntee you will think it's a great course. By every criteria we use to rate courses, that much is a fact. Whether you think it's #1 or # 25 is your opinion.
Welp Langley Pond is out, BRP is back in, and Idlewild is up to 7. Shoutout to some local who gave Odell Weeks 3 discs and Langley Pond 4; still puzzling over that with my puzzler.
What's wrong with his ratings? He gave a 4.7 course a 4.0. Seems more than fair. He gave his hometown 2.38 course a 3. Still within a reasonable range.

The thing I like about the state of this golf is that I bet there are multiple courses from 1 - 25 or even beyond that I would consider relatively similar on a rating scale, even if the exact reasons are slightly different.
Either is understandable but when viewed together---Langley Pond just 1.0 better than Odell Weeks---a bit startling. Or, as sjberry2017 phrased it, puzzling. The guy's opinion, of course, and SJ didn't say it was wrong....just puzzling.
I played Langley Pond DGC today and noticed these stupid plastic-sleeved signs for CTP and other tourney info laying on the ground throughout the course. The signs were for the 'Augusta Open' which was about a month ago so I was confused as to why they weren't picked up. I've seen these temporary plastic signs left behind on other courses as well but Langley pond is a DGCR top-10 course and the Augusta Open was a big-time A-tier so it was all the more frustrating our disc-golf brethren would leave plastic trash behind.
Does anyone have the TD perspective as to why/how these signs get left behind to become trash on the course?
This is why I use the "Top Ranked by State" when deciding which area course to play. For now, Langley Pond is still the top ranked course in South Carolina (until Canaan Riverbend gets enough reviews).
It's laughable that Canaan will be rated higher than Langley Pond. It might be prettier land but the design and actual golf is vastly inferior.

Unless pretty land is your top criteria.
Curious why you have Selah ranked higher than Frost Valley, is that mostly because of the amenities like carts, and 2 courses, or do you prefer more flatter open courses and water hazards? Also curious how Hillcrest compares to FV?Here is my personal rankings of Houck courses:
1) Selah Ranch (both courses as one 36 hole experience): First class all the way, from the Inn to having carts to the pro shop & the whole experience. I didn't have time to get over to Trey Texas Ranch, but just no time. I suspect I'd find those courses and the saloon would make for a great experience.
2) Frost Valley: An epic course set on a huge boy scout camp within 100 miles of New York City, but still surprisingly below the radar. Classic northeast forest, with a real castle a short walk from the 18th basket that you can stay in. Mountain views and multiple lines to the many par 4 and par 5's make this worth the drive.
3) Hillcrest Farm in Bonshaw, Prince Edward Island: Built in the woods adjacent to a family farm, great layout from both Red and White tees, with beautiful landscape, foot bridges, and even flower boxes. Nice welcome shack stocked with insect spray, board games and comfortable chairs.
