Tom Doak and John Dunn stroll twelfth hole at Old Macdoanld and discuss this version of the classic North Berwick hole. Another great view for any fan of golf course design. My hats off to the Kemper Sports team. They sure know how to build up buzz for their new offerings.

I’M ON A DOAK
I didn’t think there could be anything more ridiculously obsequious to Tom Doak than the myriad of write ups and videos on this site, but this video by Jim Colton of wegoblogger31 is over the top. It has quickly made its way around the internets, but I have decided to post it now that it [...]
BALLYNEAL 2009- BACK NINE
The back nine at Ballyneal is every bit as good as the front, if not better. While it may not have any holes as good as the seventh, I believe that top to bottom it is one of the best nines in golf. To me the tenth is a great par four that rewards the [...]
OLD MAC #11- THE ROAD HOLE
Another great video of Old Mac. I won’t editorialize too much, but I do think it interesting that both the road hole green and the redan (11 & 12) at Old Mac do not have any bunkers behind them. It certainly makes for manageable recovery shots even though there will be less chance for a [...]
CHERRY HILLS COUNTRY CLUB
I was fortunate enough to make it out to Cherry Hills this year to see the work that Renaissance Golf completed last fall. Cherry Hills has never been my favorite course. When I lived in Denver, I attended a caddy orientation class there but opted to loop at Denver Country Club because I liked the [...]
COMMON GROUND
The game of golf is at a crossroads. We can chose to continue develop costly and overdone courses that are too difficult and too expensive to play or we can look for new solutions. At Common Ground Golf Course near Denver, Tom Doak and the rest of the Renaissance team have reworked an uninspiring and [...]
BALLYNEAL 2009- FRONT NINE
Kye Goalby and I snuck out to Ballyneal for two rounds of golf recently. It was the first time out there in over a year and we were anxious to see the how things were evolving out in the Colorado Sand Hills.
Every time I visit Ballyneal, I am reminded about what a great place it [...]
JOSH SMITH
The first time I met Josh Smith was in Valentine, NE. I had just hit a grouse with my sweet PT Cruiser rental. The grouse had gone through the grill and completely disabled the car. I pulled up in front of the hotel after the lone taxi in the area had come fetch me forty [...]
CAPE KIDNAPPERS
The setting of Cape Kidnappers is so spectacular, I’m not sure it matters whether the golf course there is any good. But this website is devoted to golf course architecture, so that’s the direction we’ll go.
Apart from the scenery, my first impression after playing Cape Kidnappers was that the topography is quite severe. For anyone [...]
