Fall Line.  Has either course opened yet?  I saw it referenced above.

I don’t mind being the one to say it; it just seems so obvious how good this list is versus other competing publications. It’s not perfect, no course rankings list is. But there isn’t a course on this Top 100 that I think is undeserving of its place +/- 10 spots. I can’t remember thinking that before.


One small nit. If the panel appreciates NGLA, Fishers, Chicago, Shoreacres, Camargo, Sleepy Hollow, Yeamans, Creek, Piping Rock, Fox Chapel, and St Louis (not to mention Lido and Old Macdonald)…surely there’s room for Blue Mound too?

Good note.
Blue Mound is currently undergoing significant level of additional restoration.  This will reclaim of a good deal of their original scale and features.
All should try to See it in 25

Obviously I personally don't love seeing White Bear drop 15 spots in two years, second only to Gamble Sands in # of spots dropped.


However, I'm hopeful that with the extensive work completed there this past year and the Club's commitment to firm & fast turf it'll start climbing the list again to a more appropriate grouping. Like the Top 25. 

Ha stop whining!  lol
Seriously, the green expansion and long overdue dredging and assassination of your 18th will be rewarded.

Was Lido on the GOLF DIGEST list yet?  (That’s how much attention I pay to it anymore - I really have no idea.)  Lido and Ladera presumably have a lot of favorable votes from GD panelists since they won the best new awards last year.  This year’s Best New will give a sneak peek at where Old Barnwell and Pinehurst #10 and a lot of other new courses stand.


Personally I’d love to see Sedge Valley get more love in the rankings, because I think it would be significant for these rankings to embrace golf in a smaller footprint - but that’s certainly not how the trend has been going - they might as well just rename the GOLF DIGEST award “Biggest New Course of the year”. If I hear the word “Scale” one more time from a panelist I think I will barf.

I'm not sure Sedge had enough traffic since it didn't open until summer and the resort wasn't taking many early bookings.
It was quite a favorite for those that were able to play it this year.

No. next year.

It has plenty of ballots.
