the courses listed below are the courses that are rated as Top 100* by one, and only one, of the golf course rating
entities.  As always, it will be fun to play these courses to experience them for myself and it will be fun to see how
their rankings change over time.

*For Golfweek, I am using a composite modern/classic list.

As always, you can expect some wildly beautiful courses to
be in Golf Digest's Top 100.  Furthermore, it appears that
Golf Digest clearly favors difficult golf courses.


It appears that Golf Magazine love the Jones Family.  I find it
interesting that Rees Jones is a panelist for Golf Mag's golf
course rating contingency.




Golfweek's "Walk in the Park" test seems to favor courses
that are natural and minimalistic in design.
