In all honesty, do you think your lists are heavily weighted to courses where you have had a hand in their renovation/restoration/construction - would full disclose lead one to question the validity of your "rankings" or perhaps simply reflect the fact that you've had a hand in many of Canada's greatest golf courses.
Andrew,
Since I feel you kind of called me out on this one here’s my full disclosure for you and all others see. I currently work with 11 clubs listed. I have worked with another 6 when I worked for Carrick. I had a role building 3 of the courses on my list although one is only mentioned because of a single hole. This totals 20 courses. There are 54 courses listed in total.
As Bob pointed out correctly, my clear bias is actually to older courses. If I did not add the 10 Best New Courses at his request it would remove two courses of the three courses that I worked on.
Here are all the courses that I reference:
