SHORT DESCRIPTION
Golf Asia is a website dedicated to reviewing golf courses focusing on Asia. This website is for people traveling to those countries or in the area and want to know if it is worth it to play. The rating is based on the play of at least 3 golfers for each course and averaged for the course rating, skill levels will be from a touring pro(+6 handicap), a 4 handicap, and a 15 handicap or above as each skill level will have a different opinion of the course. We strive to be the most informative website dedicated to playing golf courses in Asia.
Ranking System (Egg Roll Ratings)
Similar to hotels, we have rated the courses from 1-5(instead of stars we have replaced that with egg rolls), the egg rolls will represent our opinion of that course. The ratings are averaged from the following criteria and from the 3 different skill levels of players):
40% course architecture
40% course conditions
20% services(food/drink, clubhouse, caddies)
With this formula, we have a final rating. The ratings are as follows:
1 egg roll- Do not play, not worth your time
2 egg roll- If your in the area and have a free day to play then play it, otherwise do not plan a trip around that course
3 egg roll- It is a good course, will want to play it again
4 egg roll- VERY good course, you will want to plan a trip around playing this course
5 egg roll- will almost never happen, most likely will be one of the best courses in the world
