Tom -
When I return from my trip to Scotland, I sent an email to the USGA and asked how do I interpret the SSS rating to post my scores.
They sent me an Excel file with 500 Scotish courses with slope and ratings (circa 2002 I believe).
Some interesting ones for comparison purposes:
Aberdour 66.0 116 5,460 yds
Royal Dornach 72.8 138 6,581 yds
Royal Troon 73.2 134 6,641 yds
TOC 72.1 129 6,566 yds
At the top of charts:
Southerness 73.2 148 6,566 yds
Narin 73.2 146 6,452 yds
Carnoustie 75.1 145 6,941 yds
Check the yardage, rating and slope ...
Rothesay 73.9 139 5,533 yds

Ps: If any one wants a copy of this excel file, drop me an email and I will foward it to you.
