you guys are very technical.
Let me rephrase the question for better understanding.
Take a look at the top of the golf course rankings, say golf magazine.
1. Pine Valley 1918
2. Cypress Point 1928
3. Augusta National 1933
4. St. Andrews 1400s
5. Royal County Down 1899
6. Shinnecock 1931
7. Pebble Beach 1919
8. Oakmont 1903
9. Muirfield 1891
10. Merion 1912
My confusion is this, there have been thousands of courses built since 1933 (the last course built on this list), yet none of them have cracked this ranking. My question for the "best course in the world" is more or less why hasn't a course in the last 80 years challenged the top of the rankings.
