Love studying, playing, photographing, and writing about the best golf courses on Mother Earth.

@YeahClickClack Best 36 hole club on 🌎

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@YeahClickClack @stenodocgolf Honestly one of the most unique and memorable courses out there. I thought it was a hoot!

@YeahClickClack My slightly off white socks almost prevented me from teeing it up there.

@jliebertgolf I’ve felt for quite sometime it is one of the more underrated courses in the country.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@jliebertgolf @umichgolfcourse @umichmgolf @UMichWGolf One of my all time favorite college courses, and sitting in the shadow of the Big House is epic.

@CCCurmudge @mikemaro29 @GolfTravelerJoe 11 at Trails is one of the best holes at the resort IMO. 12 enjoys a pretty special part of the property. 14 is a love/hate. 16 is one of my favorite par fives at the resort. 18 is probably the weakest finisher of the five.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@mikemaro29 @GolfTravelerJoe Old Mac isn’t my favorite there, but it probably has the best six hole finish of any of the courses. 12 is the worst Redan on the planet. 9 isn’t a very good Cape hole. 3 is all world.

@MrLustFn Played there last week and really enjoyed it. Mike Strantz would brilliant!

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@GolfTravelerJoe @MrLustFn No doubt, it is a strong second-shot golf course. The strategy comes in knowing what parts of the greens you can hit and what parts will simply repel your ball away. The property isn't as compelling compared to other top tier public courses; but it's a pleasant walk.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@GolfTravelerJoe There is no question there is various opinions between the panels, but some courses aren't that far apart in the rankings. It is often a few decimal points separating them which causes shifts in the lists each year.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@rr74cm @GolfTravelerJoe Seaside is one of the more underrated courses in the country.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@mikemaro29 @GolfTravelerJoe You can put me in the category of people that prefers Old Mac to Spyglass. I feel like Old Mac has 12 great holes and 6 average ones, and Spyglass is the opposite with 6 great holes and 12 average ones.

@MrLustFn @GolfTravelerJoe I agree, I believe No.2 is overrated. That being said, I've talked to a lot of guys that value the history, or the experience, or the Payne Stewart connection, or something else that makes it special for them. If you look just at the course itself, it should be rated lower.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@LouStagner Handicap wise, they should come out pretty close to equal.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@mullaney_matt @Big12Pokes Haven’t played them yet.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@YeahClickClack @BryanTweed16 I’ll give you a couple from potato country. Pinecrest $40, Falcon Crest $80, Coeur d’Alene Golf Club $62 (not the floating green course). I also love Creek at Qualchan across the border in Spokane.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

@LinksGems @thecdaresort It’s all about the one-shotters at CDA Resort. It’s an impressive collection.

[Golf Course Gurus @GolfCourseGurus]

Now that’s an opening hole!

The stunning Tara Iti on New Zealand’s east coast. Certainly one of the best international courses built this century.
