Southern Pines Golf Club

Posted on April 16th, 2012

As usual, I was the one who had the responsibility for selecting the courses when my group visited Pinehurst last month. Typically with this group we like to play one or two really good courses and then try to find a couple of low priced options that are not necessarily marquee name courses. After settling on Dormie Club (I can’t stop going back there. This would be my third visit!) and Mid Pines as our top shelf options I began to do some internet research in order to find lower price options for our other two games.

Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club

Posted on March 26th, 2012

In 2012, I kicked off the golf travel season with a return trip to Pinehurst, North Carolina. One of my regular travel buddies, Jay, has an uncle who owns a condo right in the heart of Pinehurst. For the last couple of years Jay’s uncle has very generously allowed us to use the condo for a golf weekend in March.

Bob O’Link Golf Club

Posted on February 13th, 2012

Back in 2010 when I set up a Chicago trip to play Shoreacres and Chicago Golf Club I had the opportunity to visit Bob O’Link Golf Club at the same time. I had the good fortune of becoming acquainted with a fellow golf nut named Dave who is a member there and he graciously invited me to come out for a visit with with my friends Blair and Steve. I had a game planned for the afternoon at Shoreacres, so Dave arranged for us to play first thing in the morning at Bob O’Link.

Dormie Club

Posted on January 22nd, 2012

The Dormie Club in Pinehurst North Carolina had a major underground buzz long before the first game of golf had ever been played on the course. It all started with a few photos of the Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw designed golf course posted to the internet and talk that the new course was destined for a Top 20 spot in the U.S. rankings. I have to admit that when I saw those first photos of the course they got my blood pumping.

Yeamans Hall Club

Posted on January 11th, 2012

The vision for Yeaman’s Hall Club began in 1916 when a 900 acre tract of land was acquired with the intent of developing a full scale winter resort club. The club would be located just 12 miles north of downtown Charleston, SC in Hanahan and would service wealthy northerners traveling south by train in search of warmer climates. The club plan called for two golf courses as well as an assortment of other leisure activities and amenities.

Shadow Creek

There’s not many places in America where cultures collide as much as Las Vegas, Nevada. Where else can can you find your typical meathead in a muscle shirt, moms pushing strollers, glammed-up fashionistas, dorky dads, the black socks and sandals senior crowd and a large international contingent of all kinds sharing the same space. Only in Vegas.

Pinehurst Resort (No. 2 Course)

Posted on December 5th, 2011

Back in June of 2007 (which now feels like decades ago in golf years) Pinehurst 2 was the first Top 100 course I played. I happened to be in North Carolina on business and decided to swing on over to Pinehurst in order to play a U.S. Open course before my big trip to Shinnecock Hills the following month. Looking back, I have to laugh at my innocence that day back in 2007.

Myopia Hunt Club

Posted on November 20th, 2011

Planning my trip to Boston this past summer was a bit of a roller coaster ride. Originally I had hoped to play Kittansett, Boston Golf Club and Old Sandwich, but as things go with this Top 100 quest my plans got turned on end and I made adjustments on the fly. Through a series of unexpected events and strokes of luck Myopia Hunt Club popped into the mix and I was afforded an opportunity to play this wonderful and historic club.

Fishers Island Club

Posted on November 7th, 2011

Its a beautiful sunny day with a perfect temperature in the upper 60s, I’ve arrived by boat to one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever seen and I’m about to play one of the world’s top rated golf courses. This is one of those moments in my life where I ask myself the question “How in the heck did I get here?” In this particular instance “here” is the 1st tee at the Fishers Island Club located on Fishers Island, NY.

Old Sandwich Golf Course

Old Sandwich Golf Club

Posted on October 24th, 2011

The first thing most people notice about Old Sandwich Golf Club is the unusual name. To hear the words “old” and “sandwich” combined conjures up images of a leftover hoagie abandoned in the back of the refrigerator or maybe a PB&J in brown bag tucked in the back of a middle school locker. In the golf universe the words “old sandwich” mean a top rated Coore & Crenshaw course located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. So why exactly would a golf club choose to name themselves Old Sandwich?
