I have played 736 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.

Opened in 2006, Fallen Oak is a very good golf course. I consider this to be one of Tom Fazio’s best designed courses. Of the courses that I have played that Mr. Fazio...
TPC Louisiana, designed by Pete Dye, is a nice course. It is not one of Mr. Dye’s best designs but he certainly made a fun and challenging course filled with temptations...
I prefer golf courses that are links or links-like that have kept natural land forms, with interesting green surrounds, well-placed and the right amount of bunkers, wide...

Alabama has a wonderful affordable, good value for money public golf option in the eleven facilities that comprise the Robert Trent Jones Trail. However, for a course su...
Our group of eight had a different opinion to the other raters regarding the Links course versus the Lake as we thought the Links to be about equal. It has more holes on...
After several drinks I posed the following question to a friend on a golf trip on the Robert Trent Jones trail: “who designed the Lake course on the RTJ trail?” He answ...

Rather than write about the course itself which everyone knows so well, I will write about my experience.I had been to ten Masters championships. I was there by the tv t...
I have not been back to Royal S. George’s recently enough to write a “current review” as it has added length and new bunkering in advance of hosting the Open Championship...
Sand Hills, the third course designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, is the best golf course I have played that was built after 1970. Tara Iti is the only course that c...
Dismal River Red is one of my favorite courses to play if the question is, “what course would you choose to play where you would have the most fun?” If that is what Tom...
