USGA Course Rating System - Resource Centre

Please click on relevant links below to view all information concerning the USGA Course Rating project.

For the purposes of this project, we have split Queensland geographically into five zones, with Zone Administrators having respobsibility for scheduling ratings at each club within that zone.

To avoide unecessar budget expense, course raters are encouraged to volunteer to rate courses in regions as close as practical to their residential locations.

Please bookmark the following links for future reference.
