Kennsington Golf Club is a great second-shot golf course, and if you can get over the somewhat bland driving, a great bargain at a good price.

Recapturing a bit of the past and taking it into the future: that's what we find at Bedford Springs.

Longaberger is one of the most expensive courses we've ever reviewed, but it's worth it.

After a slow start, Windy Knoll blows you over with a good challenge at a reasonable rate.

Whispering Woods is clearly Erie's best public course, and it will only get better as the course matures.

Darby Creek is a great example of a small diamond in the rough, except by "rough" I mean "nowhere near signs of modern civilization" and by diamond I mean "a moderately priced venue that exceeds expectations."

Eagle Sticks is a renaissance course that rewards creativity and shotmaking over the popular bomb and gouge style of play. It's a throw-back course, and a fun, well-designed one at that.

Cranberry Highlands is a very playable golf course that suffers a little bit from blandness. I prefer to think of it as more of a blank canvas for the kind of golf you'd like to play.

On New Jersey's western border, just across the Delaware from Easton, PA, lies a golf course that proves a great test doesn't have to bring you to your knees.

Does the Twin Cities area need another golf course in an oversaturated market? Does converted farmland make a good golf course? Yes and yes (although about three million yards of dirt had to pushed around first).

"Deep Freakin' Bunkers Country Club" may be a better name for this course, but Little Mountain will suffice for now.

Grey Hawk will drop the jaws of the higher handicapper, but it fails to appeal to better players and fans of architecture.

Muirfield Village is no pushover. Not only does the course throw 7400 yards at players, but it throws sand, water, elevation changes, and tricky greens, too. Players will have their hands full this week!
