The Doak Scale
Andrew Mitchell:
I'm surprised at Ballybunion getting a 10. Although it's a few years since I played it I remembered a couple of distinctly uninteresting back to back par 5s on the front 9. It's really the holes by the sea on the back 9 which make the course.
I wouldn't disagree with the other British Isles 10s though.
Nathan Cashwell:
Don't give up on finding a copy of "The Confidential Guide" yet. I found my copy in a used book store in Asheville, NC while I was checking our work up at The Grove Park Inn. The book was in very good condition and cost only $40. I was about to get a copy on-line for about 4 times that much. Just gotta keep your eyes open. Good Luck!
RE Blanks:
Sunningdale Old 8
Sunningdale New 7
The Berkshire GC Red 6
The Berkshire GC Blue 6
Voytek Wilczak:
Are there any courses with a Doak zero rating?
Contrived, overdone, over-the-top, over-budget, nouveau-riche monstrosities?
Any candidates (past, present, and future)?

I don't know if there are in the guide, but I saw a zero once...
My head still hurts from playing Silvertip in Canada...
