I have played over 800 different golf courses, of which over 620 of them are on this website. I don't chase "lists" but I look at them to see whether a course worth playing is nearby on my travels. I have my own rating system and have ranked every course I have played. My golf bucket list is to play in every state in the USA (44 so far) and at least 20 countries. I lived in England from 1993-1998 and am a member of a club in Scotland so I continue to go every year to the U.K or Ireland. There are about 600 more golf courses I would love to play. So much golf.....so little time.
Hawktree, is considered by many to be the number one course in North Dakota. It is often listed among the top public courses in the USA. Recently, one USA golf magazine...
I looked forward to playing Bully Pulpit for many reasons, having read about it after it opened, knowing it was located in a beautiful setting, reading favorable reviews,...
I admit to having a bias towards links or links-like golf courses. I loved the Links of North Dakota and consider it perhaps my “hidden gem” of the entire USA placing it...
I have only played one other course designed by Jim Engh, which is The Creek Club at Reynolds Plantation in Georgia. I could see some similarities with Minot Country Clu...
Fate smiled on in two ways at Metedeconk National. First, the weather was good during a year where seemingly so far every other day has seen heavy rain or thunderstorms....
There are some big differences between Mammoth Dunes and Sand Valley. Sand Valley begins and ends at the same high point while Mammoth Dunes begins at the back of a putt...
Prior to going to Sand Valley, I felt there to be five great public golf destinations in the USA – Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, Kohler, Streamsong, and Pinehurst. A few...
The Links course at The Golf Course of Lawsonia has been receiving a lot of recognition recently from USA based magazines and its raters for being one of the top public c...
The Straits course at Whistling Straits is a gem. It is wild, yet somewhat tame. It is beautiful along the shores of Lake Michigan but can turn ugly when the wind is st...
This was my second visit to Kohler, having last visited there in June, 2003. On that visit I played the Straits and Blackwolf Run River course, and was rained out of the...
I do not think I have ever played a course where I found it nearly impossible to lose a ball on the golf course until I played Blue Mound. This statement might suggest t...
I made a return visit to Chicago Golf Club. We had the first (and one of only three tee times on the day due to the weather forecast of rain) and our foursome played in...
This is a fine design by Walter Travis although it could have been better. The reason for this statement is that the course is short by modern standards, just above 6800...
There is a lot to like as well as admire regarding Pine Tree, designed by Dick Wilson. This is one of Mr. Wilson’s finest designs, although I personally prefer NCR South...
I agree with Colin’s post that Adios should be rated higher in the state of Florida. I thoroughly enjoyed my round there even if I played miserably over the final six ho...
Designed by Willard Byrd, then updated by Bob Cupp and Jack Nicklaus, this is a hidden gem in the Atlanta area, now that the BellSouth Classic is a distant memory. And w...
Hackensack Golf Club has Charles Banks as the architect of record since he built the course. However, it was Seth Raynor who designed the course so one will find many of...
My member host told me the North is the superior course to the South, but if one were able to take the front nine of the South and combine it with the back nine of the No...
Peachtree is about as perfect as an inland/parkland golf course can be found in the USA. As I played the course for the second time on March 26, 2021, I was struck by ho...
Southwest Florida from Ft. Myers down to Marco Island has perhaps the highest number of golf courses per square mile in the USA. Most of these are private courses built...
