Buffalo Dunes (Brown) 6891 yards – 74 Rating – 129 Slope – 88 Score Day 8; April 28th, 2017 So – to start with – I have to admit, I selected Buffalo Dunes to play in Kansas because I liked the satellite photo of the course fitting into a “crop circle” in the middle […]

Course Review – Prairie Green, South Dakota
Prairie Green (Gold) 6087 yards – 70.4 Rating – 124 Slope – 77 Score Day 6; April 26th, 2017 I’ll start this review by saying this was the first round I have played from the “regular” tee’s in a long time. I played there because I wanted to work on my irons and I […]
Course Review – Anchorage Golf Course, Alaska(!!!)
Anchorage Golf Course (tips) 6601 yards – 71.4 Rating – 129 Slope – 88 Score Day 49; June 8th, 2017 The first thing I have to say about Anchorage is that I only played 17 ½ holes; needing to concede number four to a mama moose who was bathing in the greenside pond (this […]
Course Review – Poland Spring, Maine
Poland Spring (Blues) 6156 yards – 69.3 Rating – 124 Slope – 85 Score Day 29; May 19th, 2017 The first thing you notice (literally the first thing I noticed) about Poland Spring is the history. Built in the late 1800’s and one of America’s oldest courses; this track has hosted many of the […]
Course Review – Black Diamond Ranch – Quarry Course, Florida
Black Diamond Ranch (tips) 7025 yards – 73.5 Rating – 134 Slope – 91 Score Day 15; May 5th, 2017 From lush playing surfaces, and breathtaking quarry views, to Spanish moss clad trees and quick challenging greens; Black Diamond Ranch will not leave you wanting for atmosphere or golf. You don’t need the quarry […]
Course Review – Cherokee Hills, Oklahoma
Cherokee Hills (Blues) 6298 yards – 71 Rating – 121 Slope – 87 Score Day 6; April 26th, 2017 I’ll preface this all by saying I am not going to address the condition of the course beyond this paragraph. Tulsa was hit by a major storm system (multiple systems actually) yesterday (when I was […]

University Ridge (Blues) 6718 yards – 72.5 Rating – 140 Slope – 89 Score Day 39; May 29th, 2017 Yesterday, while reflecting on Cog Hill, I was telling Melanie that I wish we had booked more TPC type courses on the trip. Tournament ready courses that set up for “good old fashioned golf” rather than […]
Course Review – The Prairie Club, Nebraska
The Prairie Club (whites) 6825 yards – 72 Rating – 124 Slope – 87 Score Day 43; June 2nd, 2017 The Prairie Club is a special place (for a variety of reasons). One of the first things I noticed as I made my way through the first few holes is that there are no […]
Course Review – Worthington Manor, Maryland
Worthington Manor (tips) 7034 yards – 74.7 Rating – 145 Slope – 85 Score Day 23; May 13th, 2017 My morning at Worthington Manor was cold, wet, and wonderful. If you look closely at any of the pictures that include me, you’ll notice I’m wearing two gloves, which only happens on really cold days. However, […]
Course Review – Mount Washington, New Hampshire
Mount Washington (Blues) 6400 yards – 70.3 Rating – 122 Slope – 85 Score Day 30; May 20th, 2017 We played Mount Washington early in the season (very early) and what was particularly impressive to me was the conditioning of the course. I had read in several reviews how well maintained this track was; […]
