Thank you for all the responses to the 2017 Course Survey. The results were discussed with the Tournament Committee. This was used as part of the decision process to set our target courses for the 2018 season.
The responses came from 224 members (30% of total) who played almost 4000 rounds (40% of the total – averaging 18 rounds each. These folks have seen all the courses.
I would like to see more responses from members who didn’t play as much. They might help us understand how to get them out for more fun.
The short summary of the Survey follows. For those who want to see a more detailed analysis, see the link to the full report.
