Course Reviews

If you find yourself in Yakima, WA, skip the casinos and head for the golf course. One of my best friends is from Yakima, and he took me out to Apple Tree for my first time. It was quite a treat.

The first thing that caught ...

If you get a chance to play here, DON'T PASS IT UP! This is the course that the PGA Tour stops off at every March during its Florida swing. And you might recognize the guy who owns the joint: Arnold Palmer. His family still ...

So you are taking the kids to Disney but thought you might pick out a little treat for yourself? I get it. This is the place. Here you will find three nine-hole courses all designed by the master himself, Jack Nicklaus.

These courses are absolutely beautiful. The ...

I used to be a ski instructor at Keystone Mountain, and in the summertime I would play this golf course. Unfortunately, they didn't give us any discounts. It's a bit pricey -- but it's a beautiful course.

The thing I like about it the best is that the ...

My dad has owned property in Summit County for years, thus I've been extremely lucky to be able to play golf at Breckenridge Golf Course over the past 15 years. This beautiful mountain golf course is the only municipal golf course in the world that was designed by Jack Nicklaus. ...

This is one of the courses in my foursome's rotation. It's the farthest one from Portland that we hit regularly, but it's worth the thirty minute drive.

The main reason we like it is that the course is kept in great shape, and the views of Mt. Hood are ...

This is a beautiful course that is a real test of your ability. One of my good friends worked in the pro shop of The Majors, thus I got to play a few rounds here with him. He absolutely loved the golf course, but it wore ...

This is one of my favorite courses on the Spacecoast! But beware -- this one is a golf ball eater. Turtle Creek is located not too far from busy Interstate 95, but you'll never know that you aren't way back in the woods lost in a ...

I've been playing at Cocoa Beach Country Club for almost thirty years. This is where I grew up, and this was my home course for many years. You can imagine I've seen some changes over that time.

Currently, the course is in the best shape I've ever ...

I played this golf course once with NBA star Tom Gugliotta. We became golfing buddies after meeting out on the golf course one day. He picked me up in some swanky Mercedes that had a V12 engine and really nice leather seats that had a ...

This is one of my favorite golf courses in Colorado. It's an extremely well-maintained golf course that will give you the feel of playing a private country club.

I would call this a target golf course, as accuracy with your tee shots and approach shots are primary. There ...

This golf course is near and dear to my heart because I used to work here, and I have spent many hours on the golf course and driving range. It's changed quite a bit since I worked here about ten years ago, and unfortunately not for the best. ...

My buddy Nick and I argue which one of these two par 3 courses is better. He says it's the North Course. I contend it's the South.

One thing you should know before I go any further is that Nick is a chronic practice addict. He'd ...

I've played this golf course many times. The most fun I had on it was while playing our company golf scramble tournament. They took really good care of us, and they were very relaxed about letting the groups hang out around the 18th green as everybody ...

This course is my secret weapon on the weekends when my buddies and I have neglected to think ahead and get a tee time. Usually we walk on to Hyland Hills Blue Course and not have to wait too long to play this 9-hole regulation course. ...

I love this little par 3 course because it's so close to Denver International Airport. I travel to and from Denver several times a year, and I like to schedule my flights late so I can stop here and work on my game.

It's a small, 9-hole ...

I enjoyed playing this golf course located almost a stone's throw from the Denver International Airport, but it is the practice facility and the Par 3 course that keep me coming back.

The first thing you will notice when you drive up is the beautiful clubhouse. After ...

This is one of my favorite golf courses in the Denver area. It's pretty close to Denver International Airport, so I sometimes plan a round the morning of the day I fly out.

The course is a long, challenging, links-style course with large fairways and huge, undulating, ...

The first time I ever played with a caddy was at Pinehurst #2. (My father was footing the bill. Thanks Dad!) It was a little unnerving on the first tee. With four players, four caddies, and the group behind us with their caddies waiting for ...

If you want to know what it's like to play golf in Scotland without ever leaving the country, go play at Chambers Bay. I honestly had to keep reminding myself I was still in the United States. This course is for the purest of purists who want ...

I started getting excited to see Washington National on the drive up. The drive takes you on a few switchbacks through the woods. After climbing a couple hills, follow the signs and you pull into an incredible golf facility.

This is the home of the Washington Huskies golf ...

This course is what one of my more snooty friends would call "A Dog Track." However, I've had a lot of fun on this golf course. Whenever I can talk my girlfriend into playing golf with me, I take her here. We take our sweet time batting ...

My friends and I like to go to Wildwood when we are tired of playing our tried-and-true challenging courses. We serious guys who usually walk the course and grind out every shot will grab a cart at Wildwood and usually grab some adult beverages from the bar and ...

I would call this course a beginner course. It's very short, mostly flat and wide open. I like to take my friends that are just picking up the game to this course because it's very relaxed, and they don't feel a lot of pressure like they might on ...

This is a challenging track out in Southeast Portland. The course is long and lined with beautiful, tall, mature trees. It has lots of elevation changes, and you won't find too many flat lies in the fairway.

The course is usually in pretty good shape, but I wouldn't say ...

Here's a secret for you "Mudders" out there who like to play in the off season. Rose City is the best draining golf course in Portland. As a matter of fact, I played this course last January and I couldn't believe how well the course played. ...

Before you play this course, do three things: 1) Leave your driver in your trunk, 2) Bring some extra golf balls, and 3) Have a good attitude.

Eastmoreland is a beautiful golf course and it's pretty short, but it's very tight -- built through a dense pine tree ...

The Greenback Golf Course shares its property with one my favorite golf courses in all of the Portland area, The Great Blue. One of the reasons it's my favorite is because it is always in such great shape. And of course, this holds true for the ...

I've lived (and golfed) in Portland, OR for almost five years, and this course is by far the best track in the area. When I first moved to Portland, my golf buddy Joe was very excited to take me to The Great Blue. He told me that he had first played it while in ...
