Student of golf course architecture..5xClub Champion..former WVU player…played all of Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Courses….aced 12 at Augusta National
Today, on July 4th, I completed playing Golf Digest’s 2021-2022 America’s 100 Greatest Courses at iconic Merion Golf Club in Philadelphia. What a great feeling!
@golfcourses101@teetimesusa Pine Valley’s 8th and 9th holes each have alternate greens. They are not used simultaneously but the design philosophy is the same.
@PlayMassGolf I’ve had a few very good 36 hole days in Mass.
1. Essex County Club/Myopia Hunt
2. The Country Club/Old Sandwich
3. Wannamoisett (I know it’s in RI)/ Dedham
4. Brae Burn/Worcester
But my favorite in Mass is Eastward Ho!
@bigfiyah1981@KaJedBuffalo Probably Cal Club. Blew me away and I was’t expecting it to be that good. Valley Club of Montecito and Bel Alr (not a top 100 unbelievably) are 2 more West Coast courses which surprised me. Whispering Pines in TX is an under the radar masterpiece. Rock Creek Cattle is 🔥
@putt4dough24@bigfiyah1981 I would play Pine Valley every day. Loved playing there! But it’s very difficult and is unrelenting. I’d rather play Cypress everyday. It’s got great variety too and is challenging enough but not a brute. And it’s the most beautiful spot for a golf course I’ve ever seen.
@putt4dough24@bigfiyah1981 To me, best means a combination of quality of the holes and land with good variety and a challenge. Favorite is the course I’d want most to play every day if I could.
