These are not rankings by GD panelists. They are observations by any who log on to their site and fill out a questionarre. It does not pretend to be anything other than a record of how well people like the course, pace of play, etc.
Apparently GD has not yet [are they going to?] put out the book, as in the past. But it is available on the website. I found lots to love/hate about their rankings ..... and further evidence [to my mind] that they do not always send people. Some of the head-scratchers are to the point of absurdity. You will love Michigan. 5* includes only Arcadia, Tullymore, and Timberstone. Angel's Crossing got a nice 4.5*, as did Black Lake, Eagle Eye, Red Hawk, and others you hate or love. Doak gets two 4*, Hight Pointe and Black Forest. Greywalls was also 4*. Any head-scratchers for you? Look at my beloved Kentucky and imagine how I feel . Ranking courses is a weird job, I have to think.http://www.golfdigest.com/courses/places?page=2&sort=&sortDirection=1&query=&limit=&country=USA®ion=MI&nearestCity=&cost=&starRating=4&designer=Doug
