Review: Wolf Creek Golf Club

December 17, 2020

Glitzy, gorgeous, and unrelentingly fun, Wolf Creek is an architectural masterpiece and one that should be on every golfer’s bucket list. Purists may scoff at the cart requirement, lack of cohesiveness, and manufactured layout, but amateur architect Dennis Rider deserves a lot of credit for a building a course this brazen. Wolf Creek is not for everyone, but for many this will be an unforgettable experience. … More Review: Wolf Creek Golf Club

Review: Shelter Island Country Club

November 19, 2020

Wonderfully quirky, old-school, and surprisingly challenging, Shelter Island A.K.A. Goat Hill is a step back in time for the golfer. While this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, the wackiness and variety alone make this a worthy stop for this who appreciate interesting golf architecture. … More Review: Shelter Island Country Club

Review: Hyannisport Club

October 30, 2020

Although not quite the best course on the Cape, the exclusive seaside home of The Kennedy Family offers ample fun, several world-class holes, and spectacular views. Hyannisport is absolutely worth the play if you get an invite. … More Review: Hyannisport Club

Review: Sleeping Giant Golf Course

September 23, 2020

Although located in a beautiful setting at the base of Sleeping Giant National Park, Sleeping Giant Golf Course leaves a lot to be desired in terms of challenge, layout, and conditions. This is a good 9-hole public course for beginners but not one I’d go out of my way for. … More Review: Sleeping Giant Golf Course

Review: Ravenwood Golf Club

September 7, 2020

While not exactly the most memorable course, Ravenwood is a very strong upscale public course with excellent conditioning and a nice layout. This is no doubt one of the best public courses in the region and one I would recommend. … More Review: Ravenwood Golf Club

Review: Highlands Links

June 30, 2020

Perhaps the most isolated of the world’s great courses, Highlands Links doesn’t get the recognition it deserves but left me awestruck. With one of the most memorable and naturally beautiful settings in golf, Stanley Thompson created a spellbinding masterpiece here that all who value golf architecture should visit. A trip to Cabot without including Highlands is truly unforgivable. … More Review: Highlands Links

Review: Worcester Country Club

June 8, 2020

Worcester Country Club is one of the most underrated courses in America and definitely amongst my favorites in the Bay State. With an extremely strong Donald Ross parkland layout, an important place in golf history, and wonderful conditions, this is a course I’d go out of my way to play. It’s simply that good. … More Review: Worcester Country Club

Review: Durand Eastman Golf Course

May 21, 2020

Although many things have changed for the worse since it opened in 1934, Durand Eastman still contains plenty of attractive architecture and is one of the best restoration candidates in America (@GilHanse). With great variety, an insanely cheap price, and many memorable holes, I highly recommend this muni. … More Review: Durand Eastman Golf Course

Review: Fox Harb’r Resort (Championship)

May 8, 2020

Superb conditioning, world-class amenities, and a beautiful setting make the isolated Fox Harb’r a perfect getaway for couples and families alike. Golf architecture junkies, however, might be underwhelmed with the layout and should focus on Cape Breton nearby. … More Review: Fox Harb’r Resort (Championship)

Review: St. George’s Golf & Country Club

April 5, 2020

Located on the middle of Long Island’s North Shore, St. George’s doesn’t get the national recognition many of its neighbors do, but should not be overlooked. An untouched Devereux Emmet gem, this quirky layout features several world-class holes and some of the most fascinating architecture in America. … More Review: St. George’s Golf & Country Club
