The Walkability Rating of 3/4 was determined by analyzing ratings for other courses in the Green and Yellow categories. Based on WR voting for Bandon Trails and Chambers Bay by the public (avg 2.75/4) - I thought Pasa was a little easier. JMO. As feedback comes in on Pasa and others courses, yours included, I can certainly update the rating. Great point that A&A should be addressed seperately in the review, 2/2 and 2/2. Pasa is 4/4 for me, just like Pac Dunes, Bandon Trails, and others, because it is "Best in Class" IMO. There are 16k courses in the US and very few courses that I have seen, never mind inland courses, could hold a candle to the experience at Pasatiempo. The 2/2 for Architecture is pretty solid for me - the great holes and design traits minimize any weak holes in the grand scheme. The 2/2 for Aesthetics could be docked .25 for housing. I will update my review and scoring the next time I get down to play Pasa - I hope it is soon. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments. Mr. Bond,

Pasatiempo, whilst a very fine golf course is a rather challenging walk, holes six and thirteen are dull fives at best, seven cannot be played as intended due to modern legal considerations and is thus rendered rather castrated. The bunkers as restored prove why they evolved as they did as they were unmaintainable no matter how artistic they may appear. 3/4 walkability is generous, you're assuming that everyone is young and healthy and has not taken into account that golfers more discerning and of means are so. on a 5 point scale maybe a 3, but not a 4. I think your 4/4 aesthetics and architecture is generous for PasaT. For fairness sake one (aesthetics) has absolutely nothing to do with the other (architecture) and need to be separated for your opinions to have longevity and to not reflect your own tastes too strongly. Calling you out and keeping you honest, I'll see you at the lounge. Love, 007 Rob
