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.

Much like the other reviewers I share their opinion of all three nine holes at Shawnee. I went there for three reasons. First was to play a course that once hosted a PG...

Waynesborough Country Club, a design originally by George Fazio, updated by Tom Fazio, scarcely gets a mention in the greater Philadelphia area as one of the top golf cou...
St. Davids Golf Club is a lovely Donald Ross designed course. In the Philadelphia area it is rarely a “first thought” for visitors coming into the area to play the many...
True Blue is an interesting design by Mike Strantz. The course is more suited for the longer/better players for whom there are many more decisions to be made as to strat...
The Caledonia Golf and Fish Club is located on a small piece of land pinched by Kings River Road and the marshes/rice fields adjoining the Waccamaw River. Mike Strantz d...
Designed by Tom Fazio on land close enough to the ocean to be influenced by the strength of the wind, this is a “big feeling” golf course due to the width of the fairways...
Tidewater was designed by Ken Tomlinson, a tax attorney, as the only golf course he ever did. When it opened in 1990, both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine declared it the...
Cape Fear Country Club, originally designed by Donald Ross and recently restored by Andrew Green, is one of the more playable golf courses one will play. While it does n...
The Dunes Golf and Beach Club is the best course in the greater Myrtle Beach area, consisting of more than 100 nearby courses, of which less than ten are private. It is...
After taking a break from golf to reacquaint myself with my family on a long vacation in Naples, Florida, I returned to Pennsylvania and wanted to find a course to play o...
Originally designed by George and Tom Fazio but re-designed and then updated by Jack Nicklaus, the Champion course at PGA National remains one of the best public golf cou...
I have played Kittansett only once in late October on a day where it rained beginning on the fifth hole. The rain was never “hard” but it was consistent and definitely a...
The Raptor course at Grayhawk is a fine design by Tom Fazio. This public course once hosted a PGA tour event, the Frys.com Open from 2007-2009. It was also scheduled to...
In 25% of the states in the USA, Vesper would be a top seven golf course. In golf-rich Massachusetts, it makes the top 20. Unlike the other top-rated courses in Massach...
I first played Essex County Club a couple of years ago. Both times I played it in the month of October, so I am not sure I have played it at its best. I am also not sur...
At the turn of the 1900’s there were three golf courses in the USA felt to be architecturally significant: Oakmont, Garden City Men’s, and Myopia Hunt Club. Newport CC...
I know several people who describe the Pines course at The Prairie Club as a missed opportunity. While it is on a flatter piece of land than the Dunes course due to it b...
I was able to play the Dunes course at The Prairie Club three times on October 7, 2020, as I had the first tee time as a single. I was also able to take my time and chip...
