While it won’t appeal to everyone, Inness will undoubtedly leave a deep lasting impression on everyone who experiences its incredible variety and some of the wildest greens on the planet. While I am curious about the business model and uncertain it will live up to Sweetens, Inness is a must-play at least once for everyone and well-worth the drive from the City. … More Review: Inness
Relatively unknown compared to its more famous neighbor Van Cortlandt, Mosholu is a classic 9-hole municipal course that admirably serves The First Tee and offers an affordable, well-conditioned, great option for New Yorkers looking to play a quick nine. I especially recommend this course to children and beginners. … More Review: Mosholu Golf Course

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).

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
