Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to join a couple members for a first round at Waverely. Although I’m from Oregon originally I didn’t golf when I lived there so...
Gamble Sands is perhaps David Kidd’s return to what made him famous at Bandon Dunes with that minimalist links like approach to golf. Some call Gamble Sands feel good gol...
Wine Valley is about the last thing I would of expected from Walla Walla. Wine, yes, onions, definitely, but great golf, well not exactly.
Boy was I wrong. I drove hou...
Last summer I had the pleasure of a visit to Columbia Edgewater. This parkland course runs along the Columbia River which dissects Oregon and Washington. It’s hosted seve...
Palmetto may well of been the biggest surprise of 2018 for me. I had heard great things about this untouched classic gem that flew very much under the radar and in the sh...

It's been several years since I played the European Club yet I've been to Dublin several times on golf related trips. To be fair I'd say I like it and it has some interes...
I'll admit that I really liked the East Course but i don't have it anywhere near my world top 100. That being said there are many strong holes and it's definitely a chall...
Quaker Ridge is an excellent course with a very strong layout. Somehow always when I think back on my round there I seem to remember the front 9 being only dogleg rights...
Let me just say right out of the starting gate that Olympic Club for me is nowhere near my personal world top 100. Still, it's an interesting championship course with a g...
Victoria is another course that is very high on my list to return to given it's been so long since I visited. Without photos I can only remember certain aspects of the co...
