St. Ignace GC – Hole-by-Hole
Two of my last hole-by-hole posts came from Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers, two New Zealand courses that are rated in the top 100 in the world. So you might ask yourself why I’m doing a hole-by-hole on St. Ignace, a course that doesn’t even show up on the Tourism New Brunswick list of the […]

Millbrook Coronet Course Hole by Hole
Alison and I have a free day in Queenstown in the middle of the Adventures Abroad tour of New Zealand and have opted to play golf at the Millbrook Resort in nearby Arrowtown. This is a five star resort on 650 acres of prime real estate at the foot of the Remarkables Mountain Range. It […]

Kauri Cliffs Hole by Hole
In my last post from New Zealand Alison and I visited the small town of Waipu which was founded by Nova Scotians almost 175 years ago. In this post we’ll make another Nova Scotia/New Zealand connection as we play the amazing Kauri Cliffs golf course to see how it compares with our own Cabot Cliffs, […]

We-Ko-Pa Saguaro Hole-by-Hole
In my first hole-by-hole post from Arizona Alison and I played the fantastic Raptor course at Gray Hawk. In this post we’ll take on the Saguaro course at We-Ko-Pa, rated the #1 public course in Arizona by many golf publications and theoretically a very different golf experience than the other 200 or so golf courses […]

Gray Hawk Raptor – Hole by Hole
In my last hole by hole from Royal Birkdale I promised that the next review would be two time Ryder Cup host, the Brabazon course at The Belfry. While I did play the Brabazon course it was so wet that pull carts were not even allowed out and it was the first time in at […]

This is my fifth hole by hole post from our fall 2024 trip to England’s Golf Coast organized by Platinum Golf Scotland. Yesterday we played what has been my favourite course so far, Formby,which has a completely different look than most links courses. Today we will tackle our third Open venue, Royal Birkdale which has […]

Formby Golf Club – Hole by Hole
This is my fifth post from the fall 2024 trip to England’s Golf Coast organized by Platinum Golf Scotland. In the last post I took a day off from golf and spent the time exploring Liverpool’s wonderful waterfront. Today we will return to the links at a course that has never hosted The Open, but […]

Royal Lytham & St. Annes – Hole by Hole
This is my third post from a fall 2024 golf trip to northwest England organized by Platinum Golf Scotland. In the first post we struggled a bit with the up and down terrain at Wallasey, but all agreed that it is a fantastic course. Our second course was 13 time Open host Royal Liverpool which […]
