The first few aren't too exciting. The last few should prove more interesting to this board.

I saw this article before. My immediate thought was that Bob Jenkins would be pleased since he loves Spyglass.

Matt,

From having played both Saddle Creek and Circling Raven, I would very much agree.  They are really good tracks with solid and interesting holes.

Lawsonia is a good catch.
People whisper Spyglass is better than Pebble ?..... Maybe because they'd be tossed in the luny bin if someone actually heard them.

It's nice to see the Red Course get some national coverage... Without any stretch of the imagination, at least in the group of ten listed at Golf.com, it is still underrated as being only #3.

It is the MOST underrated of those ten.

  I think most of us know the underrated courses.

Actually, I found this list more interesting.

I agree with Gold Canyon Dinosaur Mountain making the list. How that course does not get consideration for being among the best public courses in Arizona really suprises me. Its a good deal more enjoyable to me than a few on the lists.

In the private sector, I would have to agree with Ian Andrew's blog write-up and say that Huntingdon Valley CC is among the nation's great courses and I would say because of that, one of the most underrated as well.  Its architecture, maintenance practices and test of golf cry out for a national championship of some sort and the wider recognition it merits.  A Women's Open, Sr. Open and a men's or women's Amateur would find the course perfectly suited for a national championship.  Linc Roden would surely press for the C-9 to be used, but the fact is, the A and B nines (especially if the 2nd and 3rd greens were restored to Flynn's original designs) would be just fine.  

Sully, are you listening?  Make it happen!

Here's what I don't get: a magazine produces a ranking of courses, then looks at its own rankings to produce another list, this one of underrated courses.  Does this mean the magazine's editors don't believe in the legitimacy of their own rankings?
