The longer Bird's Nest course in the long position (7900 feet) at par gave me a 750 rating. Probably 180 points low. (Probably because most tourney rounds are on a tourney layout of 18 holes vs the 24 holes for casual play and listed in the directory)

I know it will improve with time but don't count on the ratings being very accurate yet.

Overall so far so good with the rest of it.
The accuracy of the ratings is directly proportional to the accuracy of the distance that is selected. The best way to get an accurate rating is to enter the individual hole lengths into the app for the layout you played.
