Review: Cabot Cliffs

August 14, 2022

Offering incredible views, tremendous variety, and a great deal of fun, Cabot Cliffs is one of the best courses in the world and one of Coore and Crenshaw’s best works. It is difficult to get to, but absolutely a must play for serious golfers. … More Review: Cabot Cliffs

Review: Marine Park Golf Course

July 11, 2022

Marine Park is clearly one of the best municipal courses in the NYC system with strong conditions, good value, and a linksy, seaside location, but is hurt by a flat terrain and somewhat repetitive layout. It is worth a play if in the area.   … More Review: Marine Park Golf Course

Review: Francis A. Byrne Golf Course

May 19, 2022

Offering a strong challenge on a hilly property, great value, and classic template architecture from Charles Banks, Francis Byrne is one of the more underrated public courses in the greater New York City area and is certainly worth a visit.  … More Review: Francis A. Byrne Golf Course

Review: Bulle Rock Golf Course

April 27, 2022

While not Pete Dye’s most memorable design, Bulle Rock is an excellent, affordable, and challenging upscale layout that rightfully earns its reputation as one of the top public courses in the region. … More Review: Bulle Rock Golf Course

Review: Lake of Isles (North Course)

March 31, 2022

Better than its private sister, Lake of Isles North is a difficult and beautiful test of golf featuring several memorable holes. It is the best public option in Connecticut and one of my highest recommendations in New England. … More Review: Lake of Isles (North Course)

Review: Bethpage State Park Golf Course – Green Course

March 7, 2022

Although not on the same level as Bethpage Black or Red, Bethpage Green is a nice municipal course offering strong value, classic architecture, and an easier layout for all golfers to enjoy. It is worth a play in the area.  … More Review: Bethpage State Park Golf Course – Green Course

Review: Minerals Golf Club

February 21, 2022

The only 9-hole course at Crystal Springs Resort, Minerals offers strong value, decent variety, and good conditions on a hilly terrain. At just a par 31, this is a course I recommend to both novices and better golfers looking for some practice.  … More Review: Minerals Golf Club

Review: Wild Dunes Resort (Links Course)

February 2, 2022

While Wild Dunes reputation has diminished dramatically since it opened in 1979, this is still Tom Fazio’s first design featuring some excellent holes and a beautiful finish on the water. It is a worthy public option for all those visiting Charleston/Kiawah. … More Review: Wild Dunes Resort (Links Course)

Review: Southern Pines Golf Club

December 21, 2021

Always home to a lovely routing on wonderful terrain, Kyle Franz’s stellar renovation now makes Southern Pines one of the best courses in Pinehurst and an absolute must play for anyone in the area. I expect this course to shoot up in the rankings in coming years and cannot recommend it highly enough. … More Review: Southern Pines Golf Club

Review: Short Beach Golf Course

November 24, 2021

With good variety and interesting greens in a pretty setting, Short Beach is one of the better executive courses I’ve played and is a good place for practice or novices learning the game.  … More Review: Short Beach Golf Course

The 15th hole at Sand Hollow is frequently thought of as Utah’s rendition of Cypress Point’s famous 16th. At 191 yards, this is an epic hole playing over a chasm to a narrow sliver of green with little room to miss. It is one of the most unique par threes I’ve played.

Review now posted for Split Rock Golf Course in the Bronx!
Review now up for Mid Pines Golf Club! Mid Pines is a great public course in the Pinehurst area designed by Donald Ross in 1921 and renovated by Kyle Franz in 2013. A perennial top 100 public course in the US, this layout features excellent greens and a number of world-class holes (especially its par fours).
The 337 yard 10th hole at We-Ko-Pa Saguaro is a really fun risk/rewark hole that features two templates: a Reverse Cape on the teeshot and Lion’s Mouth by the green. This is certainly one of the easier holes out there and one of several holes on the course that provides the golfer numerous options.
Had the fortune of playing We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro Course last Spring, the first round for me in Arizona. Known as one of the top courses in the blossoming Scottsdale golf scene, this Coore/Crenshaw design is thoroughly enjoyable with minimal houses, an easily walkable, intimate routing, and plenty of strategy and variety. The conditioning and scenery were also fantastic.
