The Methodology Of The BC Golf Favourite Courses Survey...

 

For the top courses, we asked golfers to pick their top two favourite other than anywhere they were a member. 

 

We then gave varying weighting to the #1 choice versus their runner-up choice (e.g. 10 points for #1 and 8 points for #2, then 10 for #1 vs 5 for #2, and finally 10 vs 2) to see whether it affected the order of the rankings. In those cases where it did, we deemed those courses to be statistically equal in ranking.... hence the three courses being tied. for #4.
