Dormie Club, a top-ranked Coore & Crenshaw design located in Pinehurst, North Carolina, is in the beginning stages of transitioning over to an exclusive private club. Purchased by a group-the Dormie Network-the transition is expected to be completed for the beginning of 2020.

I was first introduced to North Berwick a few years back on our Scotland golf vacation, and to this day remains one of the most fun I've ever had playing golf. The West Links at North Berwick, and Royal Dornoch Golf Club top my personal favorites list.

Anytime a golf course is associated with the design team of Coore & Crenshaw golfers know they are likely in for something very special.

For the average or normal golf-enthusiast, when hearing 'Pebble Beach', they would obviously know exactly what is being talked about. Stating the obvious, of course. Heck, it's even safe to say that non-golfers know exactly what you are talking, but when you say 'Pasatiempo Golf Club', even some of the most avid golfers and traveling golfers don't know what and/or where it is.

The Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa - a Coore & Crenshaw design - opened for play December 2006, and has not looked back as the top golf course the public can play in the state of Arizona (Golfweek Magazine).

A number of years ago, I was very fortunate to play, what I rank as my personal favorite golf course, Royal Dornoch Golf Golf Club. So much so that if I had one last round of golf to play, unless someone gets me a round at Augusta National, I'd be hard pressed to not say Royal Dornoch.

True Blue Golf Club, located in Pawley's Island, just outside of Myrtle Beach, is not only one of the best golf courses in the area, but most certainly one of Mike Strantz's best golf course designed. The famed architect of Tobacco Road (Sanford, NC), definitely created one heck of a golf course with True Blue.
