What to Expect It is always a treat to play a PGA Tour venue which is exactly what Castle Pines was from 1986-2006. For 21 years the Castle Pines Golf Club played host to the world's best at The International golf tournament that made famous the modified stableford scoring system. There are more national members than local members at this prestigious club that has a strict dress code in force that requires males to remain clean shaven and remove their hats when anywhere in the clubhouse.

The Takeaway The Tigers’ home course is a monochromatic experience where the color of the tees, fairways, greens, and trees share a similar green tint that doesn’t help distinguish the uninspired hole designs.

When people start talking about Quaker Ridge, it isn’t long before all conversations lead to one thing; the quality and challenge of the par 4s.

Juniper Hills Country Club is as much a tennis club as it is a golf club as it boasts several indoor and outdoor courts and embraces the two sports that so many people love. The parkland style golf course is relatively short by today's standards but delivers a challenge with several hazards throughout the track, including the Portneuf River. Conditioning is always excellent and you can expect the greens to be running true.

The Takeaway The original course at Barnbougle, Tom Doak’s Dunes track put Tasmania on the golfing map and is highlighted by a coastal location featuring some world class holes. Like Bandon Dunes, there is great debate on which course is best at Barnbougle, but what isn’t up for debate is the resort’s worthiness as one of the finest golf destinations in the world.  Grade A- Quick Facts Designer:  Tom Doak in 2004 Cost:  $109 AUD - $155 AUD (Pull cart is $10 AUD) Phone Number:  61 3 6356 0094 Course Website:  ... click to read more
