What do you get when one of the top designers in The Golf Club takes a crack at recreating one of the top golf courses in the world? Why, a new #1, of course! It’s been a long time coming, but Whistling Straits has finally been knocked from the top spot on the Top 100…

Oakland Hills CC (South Course) by Royce Brown   Every month, the internal debate of old versus new plays out, and gets a little more intense with each edition of the rankings. I anticipate as I play more and more new courses, eventually someone will eclipse Whistling Straits. Will it be a real course, such…

Idanha Ridge Golf Club by Henrik Sundqvist   In comparison to the past few months, there was not a lot of turnover in April. This is mostly due to my usual review time being occupied by the impending release of Oakmont Country Club. A milestone was reached in April, though, as I played and reviewed…

It’s the end of a very eventful year in The Golf Club and in the TGC Tours community. As the weather starts to (kind of) get colder, the competition in the Top 100 list is heating up. In the grand scheme of the entire TGC database, 100 courses is not actually that big of a…

The run of not-really-Top-100 lists has come to an end, and I now have a true Top 100 I’ve Played list to present. Each month’s list has gotten just a little bit harder to produce, and ranking courses in comparison to other courses that I played many months ago has been a real test. That…

Well it’s the end of October, so I guess a course rankings list is in order. After my torrid pace in September, I feel like I limped through the finish line in October. Despite a sharp downtown in my play in the second half of the month, I am still happy to say that I was…
