I'm biased against boring, predictable golf...whether its home or away, close or far, warm season, cool season or a mixture of grasses, whether I got lucky the night before or not, and no matter how I played.
On another note, I don't know how to explain a bias I've witnessed and maybe John covered it, but that is the bias of thinking one knows what everyone else would think. We've had a few raters out to Wolf Point and while we have no desire to have the course ranked, one rater did say to me something along the lines of, "I like the course but wouldn't rate it highly because most country club types wouldn't care for it". Tell me you like or don't like it and why, but rating a course high or low based on some idea of how others would feel? I think that some raters really do view their "job" as determining what's best for the rest of us rather then simply giving an honest, personal evaluation. What kind of bias you call that I don't know: I don't think group think fits, but its along those lines.
