Review: The Oaks Golf Club

August 12, 2016

The Oaks is one of the better public courses in Mississippi and offers conditioning and prices that can’t be beat. Anybody visiting the Biloxi-Gulport-Slidell area should keep an eye out for this course. … More Review: The Oaks Golf Club

Mosholu Golf Course lies just a few hundred feet from Van Cortlandt Park and is another classic (1914) municipal course for New Yorkers. Just 9 holes, this is a short and tight course that serves as the headquarters for the First Tee of New York. A great place for beginners and youth golfers alike, this course definitely embodies its mission to grow the game. For a closer look at this muni, click on the link in Bio.

Orchard Hills Golf Course - Paramus, NJ

Many people know Van Cortlandt Park as the oldest public course in America, but what is it actually like to play? Set in the sprawling hills of Bronx, “Vanny” as the locals call it is short and somewhat simple but features nice variety and a lot of fun shots. There are many short par fours that are reachable including the downhill 18th and 6th in the first two pictures.

Can’t believe it’s been a year since I played Wannamoisett, but it was great getting back there this weekend. The course is as good as ever and Andrew Green’s renovation is coming along nicely. So far, he has widened fairways, taken down a bunch of trees, and expanded shaved down areas around the greens. The course is in perfect shape as always and you’d be hard pressed to find better greens anywhere.

Happy PGA Championship Week! Looking forward to seeing the World’s best tackle The Ocean Course in Kiawah. Was fortunate to play this awesome course several years ago in overcast and calm weather, but it can be a real beast in the wind off the Ocean. The 17th hole pictured above will likely decide the tournament and is one of the hardest par threes I’ve ever played. Set at an awkward angle with a carry the entire way over water, this green is also exceedingly shallow with bunkers and fescue behind. It takes more than just a good swing to stay safe here.

Another head scratcher from Golf Magazine’s new list is Bethpage Red at #66. Great public course and the closest thing there to Bethpage Black but nowhere near the Black’s quality in my opinion. One thing Bethpage Red has over the Black, however, is a stronger starting hole. Seen in the first picture, this is one of the most difficult holes at Bethpage and would be a much better opener for a U.S. Open.
