Washington standouts

Toughest testpublished fact

The Members Club at Aldarra

slope 147 · from 199 courses

The highest USGA slope rating published for any of the men’s tee sets. Slope measures difficulty for a bogey golfer relative to a scratch golfer — a rated figure, not an opinion. Men’s ratings only: a tee is rated separately for men and for women and the two scales do not compare, so mixing them would rank part of the field on one scale and the rest on another (see peakSlope in course-metrics.ts).

The longest published tee set, in yards from the tips.

Washington by the numbers

Washington courses ranked on the figures they publish themselves. Each list counts only the courses that publish that figure, so the totals differ. Slope and course rating measure difficulty, not quality — nothing here ranks how good a course is.

The highest USGA slope rating published for any of the men’s tee sets. Slope rates difficulty for a bogey golfer relative to a scratch golfer — a rated figure issued by the golf association, not an opinion about the course. Men’s ratings only, because a tee is rated separately for men and for women and the two scales do not compare; a course rated only for women is not in the running rather than converted.

21	Tumwater Valley Golf Club	rating 74.6

The highest USGA course rating published for any of the men’s tee sets — the score a scratch golfer is expected to shoot. Men’s ratings only, for the same reason as slope: the men’s and women’s ratings of one tee are different measurements. It measures difficulty and nothing else; it is not a quality score and never orders these pages by how good a course is.

Yards between the longest and shortest published tee sets — how far the course moves to fit a different player. Courses publishing a single tee set are not in the running, because one set is an unmeasured spread rather than a narrow one.

Height above sea level at the course’s own published coordinate, sampled from the USGS 3DEP elevation model. THIS IS A FIGURE WE DERIVED, not one the course publishes — anybody can re-query the same public dataset at the same coordinate and get the same number, but no scorecard states it. Because every course carries a coordinate, this is the only board here whose field is nearly the whole database rather than the courses that publish a particular figure. Elevation changes how far a ball carries; it says nothing about whether a course is good.
