Inness

6,722 yards, 132 slope from the Gold tees In Accord, New York is the newly opened Inness, a nine hole course designed and built by Tad King and Rob Collins. Part of a new lodging experience, the golf course opened last year and is open to the public. The Catskill and Shawangunk mountainous terrain is … Continue reading Inness →

Cape Arundel Golf Club

5,859 yards, 123 slope from the Black tees In Kennebunkport, Maine, Cape Arundel was established in 1896. A golf course was built at that time but was fairly nondescript. Alas, the club commissioned Walter Travis to re-design their golf course, which opened in 1920. The re-design included an expansion across Bass Creek, where the Fourteenth … Continue reading Cape Arundel Golf Club →

York Golf & Tennis Club

6,333 yards, 126 slope from the Blues In York, Maine, YGTC is alongside the York River that runs to the nearby York Harbor, with York Middle School nearby and down the road from the Old York Historical Society. There is no mistaking the course is of York. The Atlantic is close but for someone who … Continue reading York Golf & Tennis Club →

Essex County Club

6,555 yards, 135 slope from the Blues In Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, Essex County Club resides in quiet dignity. The road in leads past the tennis courts and then, standing almost at attention, the courtly clubhouse. There was a stoic regality that took hold as soon as I drove in yet never felt inaccessible or intimidating. It … Continue reading Essex County Club →

Wanumetonomy Golf and Country Club

6,309 yards, 128 slope from the Black tees After years and years and years and years. And years. And years of talking about it, Golfadelphia finally made it to Rhode Island for a round of golf. The state is full of spectacular golf and I could have stayed for weeks on end but my travels … Continue reading Wanumetonomy Golf and Country Club →

Gulph Mills Golf Club

6,222 yards, 136 slope from the White tees Golfadelphia is only one guy. I'm ok admitting there's a ton I still don't know about the universe, about course design and even about golf courses 15 minutes from my front door. Gulph Mills falls into that category, or at least it did up until a few … Continue reading Gulph Mills Golf Club →

Jersey Shore Winter Guide

Philadelphia sports a nice geographical advantage of its proximity to much more moderate climates that can be reached fairly quickly. While it may snow, then freeze, then stay on the ground for weeks here (like it is right now as I write this), there are places a relatively short drive away where the temperatures are … Continue reading Jersey Shore Winter Guide →

I like courses that give you a chance at the old hole in 1. And why not? There are very few things the average hacker can hang their hat on in this game. A hole on 1 is one of those things that will always be yours; your story, your big moment, where all the … Continue reading 2022 Preview →

Deal Golf and Country Club

6,365 yards, 135 slope from the Blues Deal is part of the that Central New Jersey conglomerate near the ocean rich with diverse, interesting and a bit under the radar golf. Deal G&CC happens to be one of those courses. Originating in the late 1800's, the course began as nine holes designed by Lawrence Van … Continue reading Deal Golf and Country Club →

2021 Recap

Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold. - W. Eugene Smith Change brings us through the threshold. For a while, until we find ourselves upon it again. We must find ourselves upon it again. Again and again. Otherwise, we become dormant, content in our listlessness, … Continue reading 2021 Recap →
