Courses to watch
See what golfers have to say about this week's courses in the spotlight. Have you played any of these venues? Write a review right here:
Indianapolis, Indiana
The holes inside the track were really cool to play, and I think anyone coming to Indy should give it a go.
Erin, Wisconsin
For a course that is of the minimalist ilk Erin Hills got every single detail correct. There isn’t a tee shot or approach shot that doesn’t immediately grab your interest
Brewster, Washington
Gamble Sands offers a tantalizing combination no other course can match: true links style, authentic fescue turf, beautiful weather, and above all a chance to play the best golf you ever have.
Portrush, County Antrim
Highly recommend having a caddy to help navigate the undulating fairways.....or help you find your ball when you miss!
Austin, Texas
While there were several forgettable shots hit, there were few if any forgettable holes, and the course conditions were perfect.
Ardglass, County Down
With a five-year plan in place for improvements to the golf course, it's only going to get better.
Turnberry, South Ayrshire
It delivers incredible scenery, top-shelf architecture, and one of the best settings for links golf in Scotland.
Silvis, Illinois
TPC Deere Run did not disappoint, for sure a course to cross off the bucket list.
Nassau, Bahamas
The course is in pristine condition from tee to green. The staff are friendly and the beverage cart is very regular if you need it.
