I’ve spent 2 years visiting golf courses and documenting them for this website. It’s taken that long to process all the photos, scan the scorecards, and enter all the courses into the database. With almost 200 golf courses on the website, it was a major project that took me thousands of hours to complete! I’m now in the process of adding longer and more useful course descriptions, adding an additional 50+ hot dogs into the
hot dog ratings, and more. And luckily, site traffic is growing and people seem to be
finding utility in the project.
One problem with the site at the moment is that with so many courses, any time I make an update to one of them (with a new course overview or additional photos) it’s really hard to tell. So I’ll document any website changes here, and folks can see what’s new. And as always, contact me with any suggestions or comments. Thanks!
