No mention of The Bridge on Long Island?

A mate played there and had a lot of positive things to say.

I played the Oconee course out at Reynolds Plantation a few years ago.  Not bad at all for a resort course.  Also I just came from playing the Duke University course a few weeks ago, and it's better than I remembered.

Following the excellent bunker renovation, I have yet to see a more appealing looking course than Atlantic.

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

I agree. It looks really really good.

How the hell does someone misspell Carolina in the first sentence of the club's homepage. Yikes. Nice attention to detail.

a strong vote for Olde Kinderhook....and I have played most of those mentioned.....

the course itself presents wonderfully diverse strategy choices,
and a wide variety of hole shapes and lengths and hazards...
and, his "mounding phase/tendency" is kept to a minimum (kind of) ...

as a Club, diplomatically speaking, it has not reached it's potential...

remember, Matt Ward and the Redanman can't both be wrong!!   ;D

By the way, Olde Kinderhook has a website that I think is new. Some decent photos and hole descriptions in the course tour.

Olde Kinderhook was very nice.  Not sure what is going on there these days.  No membership to speak off and last time I played it it a couple years ago the upkeep was already slipping.  Bunkers were poor at best, cart paths washed away.  Still its a great course.  I'll have to ask around on what is going on there.
