A historic Club reinvigorated by a landmark renovation by Andrew Green, Congressional’s Blue Course now lives up to its lofty reputation as the best course in the D.C. area. This is the type of course that is worth traveling to see and one I look forward to watching the pros tackle in the upcoming PGA and Ryder Cup. … More Review: Congressional Country Club (Blue Course)
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)

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

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
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
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
