The value proposition is a tough, and ultimately personal, call. Personally I'm looking for Doak 5s and up that are cheaper than their peers and more interesting to my predilections, which I suppose is the right way to think about it. I used to keep a detailed spreadsheet of this stuff. This would generally lead one to steer away from highly ranked courses or courses with OTT conditioning and amenities. Geography is of course another component that could probably be adjusted for with good COLA data. Rustic may well be the best value going on this basis. But then again, we all know that putting too much stock in the quantification of this stuff is a fool's errand. Speaking of which, didn't I do an Unofficial GCA value-that-you-can-play thread a while back?
