Thanks Keith, I did not denote the courses that are public when
I first entered this note so here it is again and the * denotes
public, resort, or semiprivate course.
From the October issue of Golf Digest here are the best courses
in each state... (I will only list those for the New England
area, if there are others that you are interested in, just let
me know and I will post them)...

| 765.5 | Why did they forget Sky Medow? | NSG018::STOPERA | | Wed Sep 20 1989 08:56 | 5 |
| Who ever compiled that list of best courses in NH has not played Sky
Medow, I've play the others and Sky Medow is probally the best course
I've played in New England.

| re .5
At the time they compiled the list, springtime maybe, Sky Meadow
was only nine holes. It probably will be there next listing that
comes out in 2 years. It does meet the criteria that GD lays down
as guidelines to be chosen.

| 765.7 | You figure it out.... | WORDS::NISKALA | Master of the 3 inch putt! | Wed Sep 20 1989 09:17 | 5 |
| What puzzles me is that CC of NH, in Sutton made the top 75
public courses in the US when that list was compiled by GD, but
they don't make the top 5 in their own state?? I dunno!

| 765.8 | Eastward Ho? | SHARE::HURLEY | | Wed Sep 20 1989 10:29 | 9 |

There were some conspicuous absenses in the MA list too.
Worcester CC?
Could someone fill me in about Eastward Ho? I've never played
there, nor did I realize it was that good, but it made the list.
I assume if you stay at the hotel you can play the course?

| RE .2 Arizona courses.
I can understand these courses being listed, however, they are all
private except the Stadium course in Scottsdale (home of the Phoenix
open). I was fortunate enough to play the Boulders around 3-4 years
ago and it is truly a great one. Ate me up!
One course which I feel should be listed is The Legends in Glendale.
It is very new, designed by Palmer and is the prettiest course I have
played in AZ. Beautiful design and a super challenge from the gold
tees. Also is semi-private. The bad thing is that if you don't play
it during the summer and take advantage of the reduced fees ($23-$27)
then it takes a loan to get on the course as it does at all the good
ones in the winter.
Anyone coming to the Phoenix area this winter for golf drop a line and
I'll try to head you in the right direction.

Eastman G. Links, Grantham
Portsmouth C.C., Greenland
Bretwood G.Cse., Keene
Manchester C.C., Manchester
Concord C.C., Concord
Gee, none of those courses are even in my top 3, which are:
Sky Medow - treat yourself to play this beauty once, you'll love it!
Lake Sunapee CC - was my #1 until I played my #1
Keene CC - much nicer course than Bretwood, although I havn't played
the new holes at Bretwood, the thing I don't like about
Bretwood is (was) the front nine.

| 765.12 | Different source, different info. | PNO::LATHAM | | Thu Sep 21 1989 11:01 | 7 |
| re .10
My info was from the Arizona Golf Directory but I won't argue.
They are still too expensive for me.

| 765.13 | Not in my opinion! | MJOSWS::FAGLEY | beat the resident | Mon Sep 25 1989 12:05 | 4 |
| Golf Digest missed the boat here in Pa. too!!! They list a course here
in State College Pa that is lousy compared to other area courses!!!
I notices the listings for North Carolina missed the new Nicklaus course
(Longbay) which may be the finest golf course I've ever seen!!!
|
| 765.14 | Selection Criterea? | ACESMK::RESIDE | Well, I mighta gone fishin | Thu Sep 28 1989 10:49 | 8 |
| It seems as though I remember that the criterea for selection
of the "Best Golf Clubs" to include more than just the golf
course itself (ie history, course difficulty, etc).
Does someone have the article so that the criterea on which
clubs are selected on can be included?
