Los Angeles is a great city but it is mostly a place of and for the new and not a place where you feel surrounded by history. On the other end of the spectrum, just up th...
Pasatiempo's bunkering and greens are world class, there is no doubt. The genius of MacKenzie (helped along by Doak's restoration) is on full display when you play the co...
If one were to think of a course as a child, then the Cliffs would be the result of the marriage between Coore & Crenshaw's Plantation course in Kapalua and their Trails...
There are many courses in North America that offer a links-like experience but it isn't until you play the real thing at Cabot Links that you see how those other courses...
One of the great reasons to be a reader of Top 100 is to browse through page after page of courses all over the world and perhaps find underappreciated gems that otherwis...
Coore and Crenshaw are often lauded as one of the best golf course architects of the last 20 years and their courses appear in the top 100 rankings of many publications....
When one thinks of "golden age" courses in Los Angeles, the list seems to start and stop with LACC, Riviera and Bel-Air. However, do not sleep on Saticoy, which takes des...
Cal Club takes all the great elements of San Francisco courses and puts them all in a gorgeous 18 holes making it, in my eyes, as the best track in San Francisco. Do you...
LMGC is one of the most underrated golf courses in Northern California, which isn't surprising given its proximity to such luminaries as Olympic, Cal Club and SFGC. That...
SFGC is world class, of that there is no doubt. The routing on the front 9 is audacious and holds your attention in the best possible way throughout. The one-two combinat...
I feel sorry for the golf courses in Southwestern Oregon as all of them are overshadowed by the Bandon resort. Certainly when you have 4 world-class golf courses next doo...
Bandon Dunes is the course that best distills the spirit of the resort that Mike Keiser built almost 20 years ago. It offers jaw dropping scenery like the 4th, 5th and 16...
The wild beauty of Pac Dunes has been discussed many a time and you can add me to the chorus of those that found the dunescape, the blowout bunkers and the omnipresent go...
The Preserve is often touted as the best short course in the world and for the most part lives up to its billing. Each hole gives the golfer a different shot to contempla...
This is by far the best routed course at Bandon which expertly asks the golfer to negotiate ridges and hills in unique and challenging ways with the golf course feeling f...
They say the Old Course at St. Andrews when viewed for the first time leaves the golfer slightly underwhelmed. The magic comes alive after repeat playings where the subtl...
The back nine at Pacific Grove will give you everything you want out of a golf trip to Monterey for a fraction of the price compared to the neighboring courses. Lighthous...
Texas Star is often ranked in the top 20 of Texas public courses but for the life of me, I can't figure out why. There is a good-to-great course hiding in the land but wi...
This course is outrageously good! While C&C often get praised for their inland links-style courses, do not discount this course that runs through the pine trees. It is as...
There are 5 excellent holes at CGC and worth the price of admission alone to this exclusive club. The playability of the course is fantastic, allowing golfers to throw up...
