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 […]
