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
A stunningly gorgeous and fun C.B. Macdonald/Seth Raynor design on Long Island’s North Shore, The Creek is one of the most underrated courses in America and is a course I can’t recommend highly enough. The stretch of holes from 6-13 is as good as anywhere in the world, and the entire template-filled layout is unique and excellent. … More Review: The Creek
An underrated private course just outside of Washington D.C., Manor is an excellently conditioned, challenging, and strong layout and one I highly recommend. … More Review: Manor Country Club
A wonderfully fun Seth Raynor layout featuring numerous templates and gorgeous bunkering, the Country Club of Charleston is a low-country charmer and boasts one of the best back nines anywhere. This is a great member’s course and a place I highly recommend. … More Review: Country Club of Charleston
Crystal Springs is a very difficult and quirky layout that won’t appeal to everyone, but is arguably the most unique and memorable public course in New Jersey. It is worth a play at least once for this reason and is a good challenge for better players. … More Review: Crystal Springs Golf Club
