The Standard

Course conditions. Layout. Value. Vibe.

Not a pro. That's the point.

I'm an average golfer shooting mid-80s, ranking courses the way regular golfers actually experience them. Every review comes from a real round, a real score, and an honest take.

I started golfing at 16 and played on my high school golf team. Then college happened—I was broke, and golf fell off my radar. For years, I barely touched a club.

I work in construction, and I was blessed with an opportunity that changed everything: building Bounty Club in Whites Creek, TN for 8AM and Justin Timberlake. Being around a world-class course every day sparked my love for the game all over again.

When I got back into golf, I realized I had no clue which courses in Tennessee were actually worth playing. So I started ranking them—for myself at first, then for anyone else trying to figure out where to play.

This project is a fun way for me to grow the game and grow my love for creating content. Every ranking comes from a real round, a real experience, and an honest opinion.
