In my introduction to my golf course rankings, I mentioned that 218 courses were listed among all the Top 100
courses in the US lists.  Well, here they are.  The "Unanimous Gems" listed are ranked as tops in the world by all
raters.  The following group is highly regarded by 75% of the rating agencies.   The next courses are ranked by
50% of the gurus.  And the last group of courses is ranked by only one of the major raters.  And they are ranked
from the most highly regarded to the least throughout all lists.
