Other Golfweek’s Best lists, such as Best Courses You Can Play or Best Private, do not require as many votes.

The top handful of courses in the world have an average rating of above 9, while many excellent layouts fall into the high-6 to the 8 range. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings are averaged to produce these rankings.

Also extremely popular and significant are the lists for Top 200 Classic Courses, the Best Courses You Can Play State by State and Best Private Courses State by State.
