Nominations closed.Let me stress right away that this is
NOT an official GCA.com activity, nor is it endorsed in anyway by GCA.com . Ran has graciously allowed this activity to take place on his forum.
In case you missed it, I conducted a survey a couple weeks ago asking GCAers to rank the GOLF Magazine Top 100 on the Doak Scale, to get a sense of how they stack up for GCA.com members (see
http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,37531.0.html ). Several people have shown interest in creating a larger ballot so that great courses outside the GOLF Magazine Top 100 could have a chance at being ranked (by a similar method that was used in the previous activity). So, with the help of Tom D and others I have compiled a list of 389 courses taken from various lists, including Golfweek, Golf World, and the GOLF Magazine outside the US ballot. All 389 courses are listed here in alphabetical order.
If you think there is a course not on the list that deserves a chance at the top 100, please nominate it here. Once nominated, another GCAer may second that nomination, which will result in the course being added to the ballot. No courses will be taken off the ballot. Let me make clear that you should only nominate a course if you think it could
legitimately be considered as a top 100 course. Do not nominate a course simply because you think it's better than some courses on this list. There are many courses here that have little to no chance of making the top 100 but are included for the sake completeness. We will only be displaying the top 150 courses or so, not all 400+.
Listed first is the course list. Below are courses that have qualified for the list. Finally, there are courses that have been nominated, and will be added once requested by another GCA member.
