FAQs

How are your value scores calculated?

Our value scores are calculated using a combination of our difficulty score and average green fees. The difficulty score is determined by the yardage of Lake Padden Municipal Golf Course and the course and slope ratings.

The more difficult the course, the more interesting, fun, and challenging we expect it to be. The lower the green fees, the better the value we expect it to be. We give green fees more weight in our calculations since not everyone can take full advantage of a challenging course.

The more challenging a course, and the lower the greens fees, the higher the value score.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to calculate a value score for every course in Washington State. If the scores aren’t mentioned at the top of the page, we currently do not have the data to come up with them.
