Who has the hardest and easiest home course?

Discussion

I thought it would be interesting to see how hard or easy your local home course is. I suggest we take a look at the rating for a round with score of par at the latest PDGA sanctioned event to compare, both for long and short tees. Although, I know ratings can fluctuate quite a bit depending on the field, weather and so on. Let me know if you have better ways to compare difficulty between different courses.

It would be great if you would put your answer in this survey, so we can gather data from as many courses as possible.

I can start:

Local Course: Tilst Bypark, Aarhus, Denmark

Rating for par (short tee): 920
Rating for par (long tee): 960

Let's see who got the hardest and easiest course to score on!

This won't get the easiest courses because those generally don't hold tournaments.
This will only look at courses that hold tournaments.

Ok but did you put TAT down as the toughest to rep Houston?

I didn't fill out the survey because I didn't want to do the work to look up scores.

Whistler's Bend, depending on the layout, is between 970-990 for a par round.

My home course has some overlapping tee pads so they don't get to hold tournaments there, but have had some PDGA sanctioned leagues. Par was 948 rated at the last one (July 2021). Not sure how accurate it is with the small sample size though.

I think dgcoursereview already has setup something similar to what your looking for. Their Scratch Scoring Estimate provides a pretty good idea of the course difficulty. Look up the course youre interested in and the SSE provides a rough idea of what a 1000 rated player would shoot on average. Compare the SSE to the course par to determine a rough idea of the difficulty.
