Our whirlwind trip sampling the top ranked courses in Germany truly ended with the best of the best. Being one of the older clubs in the country and one of the few Golden...
Hardenberg has the feel of a high-end club with excellent practice facilities and 36 holes of parkland golf. It’s situated in a beautiful area of rolling hills and signif...
Admittedly, I had an idea what to expect out of the Links course at Winston Golf, with that said, if you told me, driving to the heartland of Germany for golf I would run...
In September in between lockdowns we managed to escape The Netherlands for a whirlwind tour of the best that German golf has to offer. An essential stop on this tour was...
I’m going to have to go out on a limb here and refer to Golf Club Föhr as a hidden gem in development. To be fair, almost complete. It has been undergoing a tremendous tr...
Granted this was a strange year for most of us golfers, especially those of us that usually travel extensively and see a lot of new courses. In retrospect the year looked...
I just played Palmares for the first time during my post zombie apocalypse golf tour of the Algarve. What a contrast it has to the other courses up and down the coast. A...
A couple months ago I played the famous Old Course at Vilamoura for the first time. It’s a rolling parkland course that’s maintained to a high standard and characterized...
Just played Amendoiera for the first time, another first was that this was my first ever course played that was designed by Sir Nick Faldo. My first thought, literally, w...
Recently played the Royal Course at Vale do Lobo, home of the most photographed hole in Portugal, the par 3 16th hole playing along the cliffs. The routing much as you wo...
A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of my first round at San Lorenzo. I’d have to say that I was really pleasantly surprised by the course and the routing. There ar...
What a great place to have your first post Covid lockdown visit. Beautiful weather, nice sea breezes and a lovely resort course located in the dunes and coastal pine fore...
The last couple years there has been tremendous buzz and media exposure around this new course on Portugal’s West Coast which is a welcome addition to the Praia D’El Rey...
I had the great pleasure of a couple rounds at Monte Rei last week. Honestly, it had been a big gap on my resume of courses in Continental Europe, especially with the con...
Cuscowilla was quite a surprise. I didn’t know much about it going in other than that it was an early Coore & Crenshaw design. It’s spread out over a fairly expansive rol...
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...
