Since my time as a reviewer, many courses that I have reviewed has been accepted as a approved course by the
Narrows of margins. May I propose this:
TOUR WORTHY
APPROVED-B
APPROVED-C
NOT APPROVED
This would give the schedulers a little more to go by when
selecting a course for consideration.
Thanks, Leo

I think this would push schedulers to avoid courses marked "Approved-C". If it's not good enough to be on Tour, then why is it approved?

I agree, but with the guidelines for approval
so lenient IMO it lends to very weak designs.
Bottom line, were trying to make the member
happy with a approval, but also by my proposal,
to give the scheduler with a grade.

What would be the point of keeping the member happy with an approval but then their course never getting used because it got a bad grade? Personally i would prefer to just not have it accepted and get the feedback |

Missed this thread earlier so I’ll answer now. To be honest, if anything, we’d just remove the tour worthy rating and have it be approved or not approved, simply because the schedulers schedule non-tour worthy courses and don’t always schedule approved courses. But, I don’t see that change happening any time soon.

Reminder that only courses designated as your worthy show up on the front page as hot new courses. This would need updated if any changes made

As a designer of three courses that have been "approved", I wish I could get some feedback as to why they are considered not good enough to get on tour. Comments and suggestions to help push a course to the next level could really only help strengthen designs, not just for me, but for everyone...

There simply isn’t enough time for reviewers to post a review on every single approved course. I’m sure if you reach out to me, a reviewer, or a scheduler in a PM, they’d be happy to provide feedback. But we just have too many courses coming for everyone to get a full review. |

As designers we also have to be realistic too. If your wanting a course on World, then play their courses and see what is being played. Notice length, layouts, firmness, ect. Same goes for the other tours.
Also as you play courses on your tour notice how the course is designed. Most have nice planting, a mix of easy, medium and hard pins and a few holes that offer risk and rewards. If you start designing with that in mind you'll get picked up on a tour.
Though it would be nice to know who picks up your course for approval, so that you can ask directly via PM what they think and anything to work on, if your main goal is getting on one of the tours.

If you’d like to know how to get a course on tour, I’d actually suggest messaging a scheduler. I (and the other reviewers) are of course happy to help, but the schedulers are the ones who ultimately make the decision.
