I have played 725 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 (43 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, UK and the USA but have yet to play in Japan. S. America, Asia, many countries in Europe or the Caribbean. So much golf.....so little time.

As disappointing as the Piipaash course is, the O’Odham is a fine public golf course designed by Bill Coore/Ben Crenshaw on a flat piece of land. Unlike the Piipaash whe...

Arizona is blessed with the best of desert golf as Palm Springs does not have enough good land and New Mexico, Nevada and Utah do not have as many golf courses. Around P...
When I pulled into the Apache Stronghold Casino Hotel and Resort about two hours east of the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport at 4PM I was surprised to see only one car. But I...
What is the best nine-hole golf course in the world? Is it one of the 85 nine-hole courses in Ireland such as Cruit Island, Mulranny, Spanish Point, or Castlegregorry?...
A common question from people who are visiting from far away is “what is the hidden gem in the area?” Near St. Andrews the answer might be Elie, in Chicago it might be K...
There are three reasons to play the Brabazon course at The Belfry. The first is to play the course that has hosted more Ryder Cups than any other course in history. If...
I have been fortunate to have played the West course at Wentworth numerous times. I played the Harry Colt design many times but only once following most of the alteratio...
I think highly of the East course at Wentworth. This Harry Colt design brings to mind the many great less than par 70 courses that are scattered around the British Isles...
I like the John Jacobs designed Edinburgh course at Wentworth (with assists from Gary Player and Bernard Gallacher).I do consider Wentworth to be the best club in the UK...
I will begin this review of the Blue course by copying the first three paragraphs and final paragraph of my review of the Red course, which I wrote first.A day spent play...

There is a debate among members of Jupiter Hills as to whether they have the superior course in southeast Florida. There are ten to choose from ranging from The Bear’s C...
Seminole is a golf course that stirs quite a bit of debate as to how high it should be ranked. There are several people I know who proclaim it to be the most over-rated...
