Review: Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower)

February 16, 2026

The championship course at world-famous Baltusrol Golf Club, The Lower Course is a U.S. Open style parkland design with thick rough, phenomenal conditions, and many long par fours. Although limited aesthetically due to very flat terrain, this is a well-routed and well-bunkered course with tremendous history and prestige. I haven’t been here since the Gil Hanse restoration and hope to see the changes soon! … More Review: Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower)

Review: Wykagyl Country Club

November 17, 2025

A Ross/Tillinghast design characterized by small greens, wonderful rocky terrain, and old-school charm, Wykagyl is one of the best and most underrated courses in New York and a course absolutely worth seeing. … More Review: Wykagyl Country Club

Review: Aronimink Golf Club

September 19, 2025

One of the best clubs in the golf-rich Philadelphia area, Aronimink features a classic and historic Donald Ross parkland design with a particularly strong set of greens and impeccable conditioning. This is an ideal members’ course, a championship layout, and a course well-worth playing if given the opportunity. … More Review: Aronimink Golf Club

Review: Hominy Hill Golf Course

August 27, 2025

A municipal Jersey Shore course with an interesting history, Hominy Hill is a bit repetitive in my opinion, but features strong conditioning and value, and is a solid option for Monmouth County residents. If you are in the area, I’d recommend a round here but know that obtaining a teetime will be tough. … More Review: Hominy Hill Golf Course

Review: The Omni Homestead Resort (Cascades Course)

December 13, 2023

One of the finest public courses in America, William Flynn’s Cascades Course is a mountainous design steeped in history and natural charm. Featuring plenty of uneven lies, elevation changes, and unique holes, this is a course well-worth seeing and deserving of its lofty reputation. … More Review: The Omni Homestead Resort (Cascades Course)

Review: Galloping Hill Golf Course

November 15, 2023

While not perfect, Galloping Hill is one of the better public layouts and values in the greater NYC area and is worth a play with its hilly topography and strong challenge for better golfers. … More Review: Galloping Hill Golf Course

Review: Lido Golf Club

October 29, 2023

A fascinating linksy design on Long Island’s south shore, Lido Golf Club is undoubtedly the worst golf course ever named “Lido” but has some tough competition. It is one of the better public courses in the greater NYC area and is worth a play with its unique setting and difficult closing stretch. … More Review: Lido Golf Club

Review: Green Brook Country Club

August 22, 2023

Although not one of New Jersey’s elite clubs, the historic Green Brook was always in extremely strong condition and featured some fun and memorable holes. The back nine’s hilly terrain and repetitive design held the course back, but it was still well-worth a play if given the opportunity. Sadly, the course closed in 2024 amidst financial difficulties. … More Review: Green Brook Country Club

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: 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
