Panel members are golf professionals, golf course architects, superintendents, people involved in the golf course industry and amateurs.
Not even the most avid golfer has played all 300 courses, and the first marching order all panel members are given is to vote only for the courses they have played, preferably within the last five years. We also give each of the panel members a list of criteria to consider when rating. These criteria are similar to what national golf publications use.The votes are tabulated, and a process known as winsorization is used to account for outliers — high and low — to smooth the data.
