Tom Coyne on becoming an "accidental" golf course owner https://t.co/mACORuFndU

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

Tom Coyne (@coynewriter), editor of @GolfersJournal, has played some of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. But when he visited a nine-hole course in New York's Catskills that had seen better days and was up for sale, he took on a new challenge: running the course for a year to see if he could turn it around.

Coyne talks with Lee Cowan about his efforts to preserve a rural community's beloved course, and about his new book, "A Course Called Home: Adventures of an Accidental Golf Course Owner." https://t.co/KGwdNnEEv6

We had a wonderful time hosting the first annual SCC Retreat in Bloomington, Indiana — touring the ongoing renovation at Bloomington Country Club and playing the Steve Smyers’ design at the Pfau Course at Indiana!

At South Dakota’s Lazy J Sporting Club, architect Colton Craig of @scc_golfdesign & rancher Nick Jorgensen of Jorgensen Land and Cattle needed just 3 yards to stretch their design to 7,209 yards—matching the family’s legendary "Mother Lode" cow tag #7209.

Now, it’s one of the more unique bag tags in golf.

There’s an eighth course coming to @reynoldsgolf… read about Steve Smyers’ design for the site 👇https://t.co/h7vHvtGAga

[LINKS Magazine @LINKSMagazine]

Georgia’s @reynoldsgolf have announced the property’s 8th golf course • Fenmoor Golf Club will be a private, members-only course designed by @SteveSmyers, and is slated to open in Fall 2026.

Situated in the northeast corner of the 12,000-acre community, the new course site features a variety of landscapes at the headwaters of Lake Oconee, characterized by marshy edges, native grasses, and rolling hillsides. The unique topography offers elevated tee boxes, undulating fairways, multiple water crossings, and several holes positioned along the water’s edge.

In addition to the championship course, Fenmoor will feature a dedicated putting course, numerous short-game areas, and expansive practice facilities designed for game improvement. To complement the distinctive golf experience, Reynolds Lake Oconee has engaged BLUR Workshop, a nationally renowned architecture and interior design firm, to envision a new clubhouse. The clubhouse will feature a restaurant and bar, men's and women's locker rooms and lounges, terraces, and a variety of gathering spaces.

@Old_Barnwell @bschneider126 @Dundee_Golf 8 looks like it will be a great hole.

[Smyers Craig & Coyne @scc_golfdesign]

@nfritsch Yes it’s on my short list

[Smyers Craig & Coyne @scc_golfdesign]

@BradleySKlein Regional play and corporate outings will be key to keeping it financially healthy.
