Played Ocean Dunes on my way up to Cape Wickham. The course was mostly complete with three holes on the back still under construction. I played them anyways: “cross-count...
Located a 30 minute drive without traffic from the centre of Taipei, Miramar is located in a hilly area just north of Taoyuan International Airport. Cab ride is was about...
After watching the LPGA KEB Hana Bank event a number of times on TV, I had a chance to play the course while laying over between flights at Incheon International Airport...
After playing over 400 courses on five different continents, it is not often that I add a course to my top ten. After playing four rounds at Cape Wickham, I am ready to a...
It was interesting to play Cabot Links a couple of times in conjunction with Cabot Cliffs to see the contrasts. There is a little more overall charm to the “Links” as it...
Cabot Cliffs lived up to my anticipation. So many great strong holes. Even the unconventional ones had charm. The routing was a great use of the terrain. The elevation ch...
Crowbush Cove is in a truly beautiful location. The conditioning of the course is very good. And the staff is very pleasant. But, that is where the accolades stop. Fr...
Dundarave is located in a very charming area of eastern Prince Edward Island. Amazingly, it was routed through an old existing course, Brudenell River, and the result was...
Wow, I am surprised that a course of this caliber is currently out of commission. I have played it a few times, and it was certainly obvious that the location was not id...
This is my home course. It is often overlooked since it is not featured in the regional tourist literature with jawdropping, photo-friendly backdrops. I have played the t...
There are certainly some strong holes at Royal Sydney. Notable is the stretch from the 1st to the 6th that runs along the entire east side of the property. Things become...
After playing the Majlis, Earth & Fire courses on this trip, The Els Club was certainly in the best condition of them all. All the fairway and greens surfaces were verdan...
It was hard to believe I was playing in the Gulf on this "links" style layout. A number of stunning holes along the water and some greens complexes that were very intrica...
Some classical aspects to the layout, very fair, and perfectly conditioned. It is no wonder than a non-nonsense golfer like Kaymer loves this course. Similar to the Emira...
There are some highlights along the Gulf shores on the back nine. A number of the greens complexes have some interesting runoff areas which makes chipping a premium aroun...
One of my favourites. Gentle rolling desert terrain, perfectly conditioned and some unique holes. Some of the highlights are the back tees on 11 that are perched high on...
One of the shockingly great surprises of my golf travels. One massive dune line that runs through the course and a smaller one on the front side. Some of the most salivat...
The course is worthy of top shelf status. Nicklaus uses the inland terrain of the upper holes quite well and uses the oceanside topography lower holes extremely well. Non...
A good complement to the Ocean course. Just like the Ocean course, the conditioning on the Desert was perfect. Also, because the course is further from the centre of the...
