There have been some really lengthy reviews written here on old Elm. I don’t think I can improve on those so I won’t try. All I can say is this course is absolute perfec...
I use the term “underrated“ too frequently. But this time I really mean it. Aronimink is absolutely fantastic and grossly underrated on the national level. This was pr...
Midlothian is terribly underrated. A classic course host of the 1914 US Open and several other noteworthy professional and amateur tournaments through early 1970s. Exce...
Camargo is a Seth Raynor template masterpiece. Proof template holes work everywhere (even on the driving range at Camargo) but Camargo is something above and beyond tran...
Probably the best value in golf. Great example of classic architecture by Langford and Moreau Who were definitely not shy with the steam shovel in crafting massively ele...
Mammoth Dunes might be the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course. This course is better than adjoining Sand Valley. Mammoth fairways and greens (see what I did there)...
Sand Valley resort as a whole is an absolutely fantastic experience. Great golf vibe, excellent facilities, very friendly staff, and dedicated caddies. As for the golf...
Best true country club on the Monterey peninsula. Beautiful facilities and golf course to match. Not a weak hole on the course and the once winding by the ocean are som...
Cypress Point is the perfect golf course. Every hole is memorable each improving slightly from the previous and cumulating at the 17th. Like most of the top courses, th...
Views unlike any other course I have ever played. Every hole is a postcard. Played in wet and cool conditions made for a terrifying experience driving the cart on this...
Entrada is one of the few private clubs in this area. The conditioning was absolutely spectacular. The front nine was very good, but it’s the back nine that features the...
Best course in the area. I love the contrast of the red sand against the red mountains. The front nine is good but nothing to write home about. The back nine on the other...
Tremendously underrated is how I would describe Knollwood Club in Lake Forest, IL. A Colt/Allison design dating from 1925, Knollwood has hosted 1956 US amateur, 1982 US...
Very close to absolute perfection. It’s amazing what McDonald and Raynor did with a largely nondescript piece of property. Template holes abound. Personal favorites...
This is the best course in Mexico. Better than Diamanté. Dare I say-I would put it on par with Pebble Beach. It combines elements of two of my favorite styles of golf...
Diamanté dunes was a very good of course, but I don’t feel it is worthy of its number one ranking in Mexico. Links style with a great deal of exaggerated mounding, man...
Another MacDonald/Raynor masterpiece. As you would expect, lots of history here. Our caddie related a story of Babe Ruth dumping a dozen balls in the ocean trying to dr...
