I was just browsing through the Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play booklet that arrived yesterday, and was delighted to see Mike Young's Longshadow Golf Club listed as #4 in Georgia, trailing only Cuscowilla, Sea Island (Seaside) and the Club at Savannah Harbor. Longshadow is placed ahead of such respected courses as the Great Waters, Oconee and National courses at Reynolds Plantation, the Legends Club at Chateau Elan, and Sea Island (Plantation), in the top 10 in Georgia.
Well done GolfWeek raters, and well done Mike Young!
Those of us were lucky (and smart) enough to play in the Dixie Cup at Longshadow in October had an early opportunity to see what a really fun, interesting and challenging course Mike designed and built there.
By the way, the World Woods courses (Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks) are listed #2 and #4 respectively in the Florida state listings. Pine Barrens for sure, and Rolling Oaks most likely, are on the slate for this year's Dixie Cup in October, and I think John Cullum and Mike Whitaker need some more players to button up details. I'll track that down and bump it up.
Again, props to Mike Young for this recognition of his excellent work at Longshadow.
