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.
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...
Coral Creek Club has a fine golf course so it is difficult to understand why it changed hands three times in its short existence since its opening in 2000. Perhaps it is...
The West course of the Country Club of Birmingham goes on my list of gems. While it is highly rated and often listed as the number one course in the state of Alabama, I...
I had read about FarmLinks at Pursell Farms golf course from an article on Links Magazine. I also knew it was on Golfweek’s top 200 golf modern courses in the USA. As I...
After playing the Stadium course for the second time on March 17, 2021, I marveled at how good the top professionals are. Justin Thomas won the most recent Players champ...
As I walked around the clubhouse prior to the round, admiring the views from both the large swimming pool area as well as the rear of the clubhouse across a wide expanse...
Dallas National is often listed as the best course in Texas and has appeared on one magazine’s list of the top 100 in the USA. This design by Tom Fazio is very good and...
