A quick friendly reminder: Please submit your courses at TGCTours.com! Course submission has been unfairly categorized in the past as some kind of popularity contest, or seen as a place only for people who want their courses used on the tour. In reality, it’s a place where people can learn more about your course and…

After reviewing my overall rankings and reviews so far, I think my Tier 2 is kind of becoming a catchall for me when I feel a course shows a lot of good design features, but has one or two flaws (in my mind, that is) that make me uncomfortable ranking the course any higher. Because…

Spoiler Alert: There is actually nothing special about these reviews or eclipse related. Mandolin Walk G&CC – SAM – Tier 2 This is the 3rd course of Simon’s that I’ve played, and I still see a few of the things that I thought could be improved in his other courses. Namely, I think the hole…

What a week for reviews! Nothing but top rate courses here. Rest assured I am not being overly lenient on the ratings, I just think my society schedules and To Play list lined up perfectly enough to bring some nice courses to the list.   As a side note, you may notice a difference in…

In an uncharacteristically quick turnaround for me, here are 5 new course reviews. These quick new additions can be attributed to my latest endeavor, the CLV Course Review society, currently on PC. If any followers of my reviews wish to create and maintain this society on PS4 or Xbox, please feel free to reach out…

Firestone CC South (Harvest) – Friendbomber – Tier 3 (Rustic version pictured) Most here will know that I have a soft spot for real courses, even those that I am not particularly fond of. I’ve never been a huge fan of this course, mostly I think due to the narrow tree lined fairways taking away…

Royal Ethalwind We are little more than a month in, and as expected, my hopeful plan of posting regular course reviews and hosting a society to play reviewed courses has fallen by the wayside. In my scattered playing of courses, either individually or in societies, I still enjoy writing a brief review and ranking each…

One week into paternity leave, and it’s been a wild ride. Fortunately naps give me time to sneak away and play, so here are some fresh reviews.   Reviews Royal Birkdale Open 2017 – Yeltzman – Tier 3 I had to research the 2008 Open Championship results after playing a round here, as I did…

I wasn’t sure how I felt about the addition of societies, and maybe I still don’t know how I feel, but one positive of them from my standpoint is the ability to play in numerous short events across multiple societies. This fits pretty nicely with my lack of commitment to any particular tour or a…

Well, I’m back at it again (for now). My newborn son is taking his sweet time to come out, so it’s given me a little bit of extra time with TGC2 for its first week of release. I’m once again maintaining a database of all of the courses I play and giving them short reviews,…
