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
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
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
While it may lack the drama and views of some of its Irish neighbors, Royal Dublin is a classic out-and-back links with some impressive history, proper conditioning, and a wonderful closing stretch. It is certainly worth a visit and is an ideal first or last round on an Irish golf trip given its proximity to Dublin Airport. … More Review: The Royal Dublin Golf Club
One of the best clubs in the golf-rich Philadelphia area, Aronimink features a classic and historic Donald Ross parkland design with a particularly strong set of greens and impeccable conditioning. This is an ideal members’ course, a championship layout, and a course well-worth playing if given the opportunity. … More Review: Aronimink Golf Club
A 9-hole municipal course with some civil rights history and decent bones, Carroll Park could benefit from some tree removal and better maintenance. It is a solid option for locals on a budget or beginners but this isn’t somewhere I’d travel to see. … More Review: Carroll Park Golf Course
A municipal Jersey Shore course with an interesting history, Hominy Hill is a bit repetitive in my opinion, but features strong conditioning and value, and is a solid option for Monmouth County residents. If you are in the area, I’d recommend a round here but know that obtaining a teetime will be tough. … More Review: Hominy Hill Golf Course
While Cooperstown is a primarily a baseball town, one of the best and most fun public courses in the region is located here in Leatherstocking. A classic Devereux Emmet design in a gorgeous lakeside setting, this quirky, old-school layout is well-worth a visit. … More Review: Leatherstocking Golf Course
Bandon’s newest and likely final layout, Shorty’s is a 19-hole par 3 course set amongst the inland dunes on the southernmost part of the property. While there are a few too many very short holes here, the land movement and penal bunkering make it more difficult than you’d expect and the greens are possibly the wildest at Bandon. It is a very relaxed and fun round and great practice before one of the championship courses on site. … More Review: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Shorty’s)
A wonderful residential Pete Dye design in Hilton Head Island, Long Cove is my personal favorite course in a very good golf area with a number of memorable holes, strong challenge, and great variety. If you get an opportunity to play here, I highly recommend it. … More Review: Long Cove Club
