Golf Digest Best New

[Sam Morrow]

Frankly I’ll be very surprised if anyone posts here that’s seen all three.

I looked back.  So far in four pages of this thread we've only heard from three people who have visited The Covey: 


Sam Morrow [who's a fan, and hasn't seen the other contenders],
Paul Jones [who hasn't said much about it],
and Derek Duncan [who is obliged to defend the result].

Tom,


I loved the course and think it is the best in Texas.  However, it seems that Sam is the only person that played it so not much to discuss.  I spent 2 days with a friend who is a member and attend the club Christmas party.


I remember just about every hole and could talk more about the course, but this discussion seems to go in different direction.


I have played Tree Farm couple of times, but only the loop (7-hole preview loop) at Old Barnwell.

I've gone back and forth and can't decide if it's my favorite course in Texas but it's definitely close. I still can't get over how much fun the green complexes were, I'd feel like I'd had a fun day if you just had me drop 50 yards from every green and play in from there.

Well, keeping in mind that it may no longer be the best course in Texas [because I just built a new strong contender], what else are you guys considering as its competition for the title?


I haven't seen everything in TX but as of a few years ago, it was not a strong field.
