I was pleasantly surprised when I played Sawgrass. I have played a number of courses in Florida and due to the largely flat terrain, they are mostly devoid of memorable c...

The original course at Machrihanish is still the best course in the area but benefits from the relationship it has with the new Mach Dunes and the beautiful hotels they o...

As a local, I have had the pleasure of playing the Ailsa course many times over the years. In my opinion, Turnberry used to be a 6/10 course on a 10/10 piece of land but...
