Considered the easiest of the Bethpage courses, Bethpage Yellow was a pleasant surprise and offers some memorable holes and strong land movement at a great value. While it can’t compare to the Black or Red courses, it makes a strong push for 3rd best course at the complex and is worth a play. … More Review: Bethpage State Park (Yellow Course)
The oldest continuously operated course in North America, the semi-private Niagara-on-the-Lake is a seriously charming 9-holer located along the banks of Lake Ontario. While tree overgrowth does detract from some of these holes, the history and beautiful views make this a very worthwhile play. … More Review: Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club
As far as “typical” Florida golf goes, Trump Doral’s Blue Monster is about as good as it gets with excellent conditioning, a very testing layout, and an impressive tournament history. If you can afford the outrageous teetime, this is one of the best public options in South Florida. … More Review: Trump National Doral Golf Club (Blue Monster)
A rugged and isolated Tom Fazio design in Western Connecticut, this mountainous course is perhaps the most visually attractive course in the state and features strong conditioning and a number of very good holes. Its isolation and exclusivity make it somewhat underrated and I highly recommend you play here if you get an opportunity. … More Review: Bull’s Bridge Golf Club
Although I was only able to play the front 9, the upscale Seneca Hickory Stick left a positive impression with a well-conditioned, great value public course meandering through the woods and marshes near Niagara Falls. It is the best public option in the Niagara/Buffalo area and is worth a play. … More Review: Seneca Hickory Stick Golf Course
An elite par 3 course, Hamilton Farm’s Hickory Course is built on an expansive property and features tremendous variety and visuals. It is great fun and a strong test and members are very fortunate to have this option to compliment the Highlands Course. … More Review: Hamilton Farm Golf Club (Hickory)
More than just your average Florida resort course, PGA National’s Champion Course is a challenging, well-conditioned layout that’s hosted the Ryder Cup, PGA Tour, and PGA Championship. The Bear Trap stretch at the end is especially memorable and this is a fun course that is worth a play, but probably not worth its expensive price. … More Review: PGA National Resort (The Champion)
A historic hidden gem in Westchester designed by the likes of Raynor, Tillinghast, and Banks, Knollwood features excellent bunkering and greens, plenty of quirk, and one of the best closers you’ll find anywhere. It is definitely underrated and is well-worth your time. … More Review: Knollwood Country Club
Although limited by space and on the shorter side, Met Links is a very welcome edition to the Rhode Island golf scene and contains six of the original front 9 at Metacomet. For some former members, this won’t be enough, but it’s certainly better than nothing and will be one of the best public options in Northern Rhode Island as long as it stays open. … More Review: Met Links
A welcome new addition to the New Jersey public golf scene, the municipal Old Bridge is an affordable, playable layout with a particularly notable set of greens. It is worth a play if in the area. … More Review: Old Bridge Golf Club at Rose & Lambertson
