Review: Galloway National Golf Club

December 9, 2019

Beautiful, difficult, and in immaculate condition, the underrated Galloway National is an example of Tom Fazio at his absolute best. Fazio marries sandy wastebunkers, tall pines, and the Atlantic City skyline to create numerous fantastic holes and the look and feel of places like Pine Valley and Pinehurst. This is the best course in the loaded Atlantic City area and one of the best in the golf-rich state of New Jersey. … More Review: Galloway National Golf Club

Review: Myopia Hunt Club

November 10, 2019

Unique and bold, the venerable Myopia Hunt Club is as timeless as they come and boasts one of the finest golf courses not just in New England, but in all of America. The sheer variety, quirk, and difficulty make each hole memorable and fun and the old-school atmosphere of the Club simply cannot be topped. Myopia is intensely private with a small membership, but drop everything and run if you receive an invitation to this bastion of past. … More Review: Myopia Hunt Club

Review: Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West

October 29, 2019

The urban Skyway Golf Course offers excellent conditioning, strong value, and beautiful views in a very unique setting just outside New York City. While the architects were somewhat hindered by a lack of space, this is still a memorable 9-hole course that serves as a nice alternative to Ferry Point at a fraction of the price. … More Review: Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West

Review: Whitinsville Golf Club

October 20, 2019

Whitinsville proves the point that 9 great holes is superior to trying to squeeze 18 average holes on a small property. Featuring excellent greens, strategic doglegs, and strong bunkering, Whitinsville is the best 9-hole course I’ve played and is certainly one of the best 9-holers in the world. I highly recommend this course to all who enjoy classic architecture and Donald Ross. … More Review: Whitinsville Golf Club

Review: The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort

July 25, 2019

In a glorious setting literally on the beach, The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort packs a terrific combination of beauty and difficulty as the winds constantly rip off the Atlantic Ocean. There are no weak holes on the course and a terrific figure-eight routing makes for a wonderful and diverse walk. This is certainly one of Dye’s best and is clearly an elite option for public golfers. A trip to Charleston/Kiawah for any serious golfer is not complete without playing the famed Ocean Course. … More Review: The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Review: The Country Club (Clyde/Squirrel)

June 20, 2019

The history, atmosphere, and amenities at the The (original) Country Club are second to pretty much no one, while the excellent parkland design provides an engaging routing with plenty of variety and standout holes. As length renders many classic courses obsolete, the strategic bunkering and tiny greens here make this a true championship venue that has withstood the test of time. This goes without saying, but an invitation to this ultra-exclusive Club is still one of the most cherished in American golf – just as it’s been for over a century. … More Review: The Country Club (Clyde/Squirrel)
