I have played over 750 different golf courses, of which I consider 475 of them worth playing if in the area. 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 and recorded every score since 1993. My golf bucket list is to play in every state in the USA (44 so far) and 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. I have played in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Tunisia, but have yet to play in Japan. S. America, Asia, many countries in Europe or the Caribbean. So much golf.....so little time.

In 42 other states, Worcester would likely be among the top ten golf courses in that state. But because Worcester is in Massachusetts, a golf-rich state, other raters in...
Blue Hill Championship designed by Skip Wogan with updates by Ron Prichard, is an under-rated golf course. It hosted the 1956 PGA championship, won by Jack Burke, Jr., a...
It is appropriate that Whitinsville is now included among the top 200 classic golf courses in the USA even though it has only nine holes. It certainly is one of Donald R...
Taconic Golf Club was originally designed in 1927 by Wayne Stiles of Stiles & Van Kleek. Gil Hanse completed a renovation in 2009. I admit to never hearing of Stiles an...
Is the South course at Torrey Pines the worst course the U.S. Open has been held on in the “modern era?” (and hosting it again in 2021). Probably. Other than the views...
If one wants to play a course that typically has great weather, hosts the US Open, and three of the four rounds of a PGA tour stop, then play Torrey Pines South. If one...
Kinloch is a very good golf course and certainly deserving of being considered the best in the state of Virginia and among the top 100 modern courses in the USA. While I...
Of the courses that I have played, Somerset Hills is the course that has risen in my personal rankings after every time I play it. On a repeat visit to other courses, I...
Jack Nicklaus’ first design in Arizona is a good one, although I do not rate it nearly as highly as some others do.It is a quirky course in its routing with two of the pa...
Desert Forest is considered THE course that raised the status of golf in the desert. It was conceived by Tom Darlington and K.T. Palmer as part of the planned community...
The Geronimo course at Desert Mountain, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is the only course I have played at Desert Mountain. I expect that all of the courses are fun to play...
I have had the privilege of playing Bayonne more than twenty times, beginning in the year that it opened (2006) through this year. I nearly considered joining having sev...
Designed by Maurice McCarthy in 1930, this course hosted the PGA Championship in 1940 where Byron Nelson defeated Sam Snead. It has held many other professional events o...
Some of my golf friends who have played many of the world’s finest courses on multiple continents have been discussing what will be the next direction of golf course desi...
I had been visiting my wife’s aunt and uncle in Ann Arbor, Michigan for 30 years but nearly always played Radrick Farms, the University of Michigan course, or the Inverne...
Essex Country Club is a very nice golf club, with a mixture of good and bad holes on the front nine, and a terrific back nine ending on one of the most difficult finishin...
The Country Club in Ohio, designed by William Flynn, is an absolute gem. On my first visit there we got rained out on the second hole, retreating into a home bordering t...
The Kirtland Country Club is known for having the best back nine in Ohio, and one of the better back nines in the USA. Because of this recognition, Kirtland is one of th...
