I hadn't realized they re-did East Bay in Provo: played it once years ago, never felt the need to go back.  Guess I'll have to go have a look this summer.

Bummer Indian Canyon isn't on this list.  Outside of probably Cobbs Creek, would be the one course worth doing over the rest of those...

As my first post on the new GolfClubAtlas, I'm pleased to say that I really enjoy seeing which course got top billing in the article.


 Thanks for posting David!

Well the US has so many thousand public courses and 11 is a start, but much work needs to be done. I like the models which can be replicated such as NLT or Cobbs Creek. Either that or it take wealthy benefactors to accelerate. Every major city deserves several great public venues. Kudos for the start, let's hope it isn't the finish.

I’m surprised Charleston Municipal was not mentioned. A VERY impressive redo that totally embraces its rumored Raynor heritage… which is rumor only. A beautiful redo that makes the course a “must play” in the Charleston area. If you can get a tee time!!! 😉
