Audience: Course Ambassadors | Level: Beginner
Quick Answer
A course needs at least 10 ratings before it will display an average star rating. All ratings count toward this threshold, whether or not they include a written review. Once your course reaches 10 ratings, the star rating should appear within 24 hours.
Understanding Course Ratings
What counts toward the threshold?
All course ratings submitted by UDisc users count toward the 10-rating minimum, including:
Ratings with written reviews
Ratings without written reviews (star rating only)
Every player who leaves any star rating for your course contributes to reaching the threshold.
Before reaching 10 ratings
Until your course has at least 10 ratings, no average star rating will be visible on the course page. This ensures that displayed ratings are based on a meaningful sample size rather than just a few individual opinions.
After reaching 10 ratings
Once your course reaches 10 ratings, the average star rating should appear on the course page within 24 hours as the system processes and updates course ratings.
How to encourage more course ratings
Want to help your course reach the 10-rating threshold faster? Here are some suggestions:
Mention course ratings in your social media posts about the course
Add signage at the course encouraging players to rate their experience
Host leagues or events to bring more players to your course
Share your course listing with local disc golf groups
Monitoring your course's ratings
