Review: Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower)

February 16, 2026

The championship course at world-famous Baltusrol Golf Club, The Lower Course is a U.S. Open style parkland design with thick rough, phenomenal conditions, and many long par fours. Although limited aesthetically due to very flat terrain, this is a well-routed and well-bunkered course with tremendous history and prestige. I haven’t been here since the Gil Hanse restoration and hope to see the changes soon! … More Review: Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower)

Review: Whirlpool Golf Course

February 2, 2026

The final design from legendary Canadian architect Stanley Thompson, Whirlpool is a charming parkland layout with excellent bunkering and plenty of length and challenge. This affordable municipal course is certainly worth a play if you’re looking to add golf to your Niagara Falls itinerary. … More Review: Whirlpool Golf Course

Review: Jupiter Hills Club (Hills Course)

January 19, 2026

Tom Fazio considers the Hills Course to be among his favorite courses, and it’s not hard to see why with a wonderful routing, phenomenal conditioning, and hilly terrain that makes it quite unique and memorable for Florida. This is an elite residential course and one I highly recommend if you get the opportunity. … More Review: Jupiter Hills Club (Hills Course)

Review: Otsego Golf Club

January 7, 2026

A historic 9-hole course in a gorgeous lakefront setting, Otsego is a somewhat simplistic design with limited amenities and average conditioning. I wouldn’t go out of my way to play here, but it is a viable addition to a day at Leatherstocking down the street. … More Review: Otsego Golf Club

Review: Wild Turkey Golf Club

December 26, 2025

Arguably the second best of Crystal Springs’ six courses, Wild Turkey is a difficult but fun public course defined by its huge hilly property, scenic views, and some very memorable holes. While overpriced for much of the year, this is a course worth playing. … More Review: Wild Turkey Golf Club

Review: The Schoolhouse Nine

December 15, 2025

The low-frills Schoolhouse Nine is far from upscale but provides an architecturally interesting 9-holes in a beautiful setting as the only course in Rappahannock County. Affordable, friendly, and relaxed, the vibes here are phenomenal and the game of golf needs more courses like this! … More Review: The Schoolhouse Nine

Review: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Bandon Preserve)

December 1, 2025

An elite par 3 course at America’s finest golf resort, the 13-hole Bandon Preserve is wildly fun and offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean with particularly noteworthy greens and bunkering. This is a great way to warm up or end your day while at Bandon Dunes. … More Review: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Bandon Preserve)

Review: Wykagyl Country Club

November 17, 2025

A Ross/Tillinghast design characterized by small greens, wonderful rocky terrain, and old-school charm, Wykagyl is one of the best and most underrated courses in New York and a course absolutely worth seeing. … More Review: Wykagyl Country Club

Review: SentryWorld

November 3, 2025

One of many excellent public courses in Wisconsin, SentryWorld is a unique course with upscale amenities, impeccable conditioning, and a private course feel. While the architecture isn’t quite as captivating as some of the other public gems nearby, this is still a wonderful experience and worth a play on a golf trip to Wisconsin. … More Review: SentryWorld

Review: Forest Park Golf Course

October 22, 2025

An average design at best, Forest Park falls into many of the same pitfalls as other NYC munis with poor conditioning, brutal pace of play, and an overall tired feel. It serves its purpose for New Yorkers on a budget, those learning the game, or those with limited transportation, but isn’t a course I’d recommend otherwise. … More Review: Forest Park Golf Course
