Red Run GC
Royal Oak, MI
Willie Park, Jr. (1914)

Just played there for the first time a couple weeks ago.  Great course!

I just moved back to MI and am at Franklin Hills CC, 1927, Donald Ross. 

Franklin is excellent.

Bretwood East Surry Road Keene, NH

Live a mile from the course. Have played there since it opened in '68.

Geoff Cornish designed original 18--course now has 37 holes. Hugh Barrett designed the other 19 holes(one bye hole). Hugh is a longtime friend of mine and is the father of Chelso Barrett who was runnerup to Jordan Spieth at the USGA Junior at Gold Mountain a few years back . Chelso has a full scholarship to TCU starting in the fall.

One of the best public golf facilities on the East coast, it's family owned and run by the Barrett family. The head pro is a Barrett, so is the Super, food and beverage is run by a Barrett. Four generations of Barretts work at the course.

If you are in the area and looking for a game, give me a shout.

How far is that from Exeter? Driving?

[Mike Schott]

Nice to see so many local Detroit area golfers here. My local course is:

Farmington Hills Golf Club
Farmington Hills, MI
Don Childs-Architect

[Dan Kelly]

Midland Hills CC

Roseville, Minnesota

Seth Raynor, 1920

It's one of the Twin Cities' most underappreciated courses -- full of good golf holes, a very good walk, and a blast to play.

If you're ever going to be in town here, just holler, and I'll show it to you.

Springdale Golf Club
Princeton, NJ

Founded in 1895

Architects:   Willie Dunn Jr,  Gerald Lambert, Re-designed by William Flynn in 1927.

A classic, walkable and charming course to play on a regular basis.   Sited on 98 acres adjacent to Princeton Univ, Princeton Theological Seminary, The Graduate College of P U, and the Institute for Advanced Studies.    Wonderful Flynn greens, 17 of which are his originals.    Fascinating diverse membership, a traditional yet unpretentious club.

Home course of Princeton Univ Mens and Womens teams, this private club was founded and is run independent of Princeton U.

Interesting characters associated with the club:   

Hugh Wilson -  Captain of PU team in 1902, joined our Greens Committee when course moved to current site in 1900.
William Campbell - US Amateur champ and two time USGA Sr Amateur Champ, Pres of USGA and Captain of the R & A, Bob Jones     Award winner, Old Tom Morris Award, Undefeated Walker Cup record 7-0-1, World Golf Halll of Fame member

Eagle Watch GC
Woodstock, Ga
Designer:  Arnold Palmer

[Bill Shamleffer]

As a current resident of Springfield, Mass, my home course of Franconia, a Springfield muni originally desinged by Van Kleek & Stiles, later worked on by Cornish.

When I lived in St. Louis my home courses were Normandie and Forest Park.  Both Foulis designs.  The re-do of Forest Park was done after I moved.

In collage my home course was the U. of Missouri owned course - A. L. Gustin, designed by Floyd Farley.  I could play this course for the rest of my life.

Carlyle,

"Golf" Clubs I belong to are....

1. Springdale Golf Club
    Princeton, NJ

Hey, Bill Crane!! ,for all your plugs about Springdale a few posts above me, you missed mentioning that Jerome Travers won the Princeton Amateur Invitational there in 1907. He went on to win the US Amateur that same year and was one of the most successful amateur US golfers of all time playing out of Montclair G.C. . He is one of only five amateurs to win the US Open Championship which he achieved at Baltusrol in 1915.

2. Musgrove Mill Golf Club
    Clinton, SC

[Tom Allen]

Brown's Run Country Club
Middletown, Ohio
Designed by William Gordon and his son David Gordon, in 1958.
I'd be more than happy to host a round if anyone comes through Cincinnati or Dayton.  (However, if you come through Cincinnati or Dayton, NCR, Camargo, Coldstream, and Moraine are nearby, so no one ever really wants to see my place!) 

[Jason Topp]

Windsong Farm Golf Club

  Informal atmospere
  Tough but fun golf course
  Terrific practice facilities
  Great membership

Bunker Hills Golf Course

   What municipal golf should be
   Over 300 people for most weekly events
   Pedestrian design
   Great group of people
    4:45 rounds in five balls

Black Sheep Golf Club

Brown's Run Country Club
Middletown, Ohio
Designed by William Gordon and his son David Gordon, in 1958.
I'd be more than happy to host a round if anyone comes through Cincinnati or Dayton.  (However, if you come through Cincinnati or Dayton, NCR, Camargo, Coldstream, and Moraine are nearby, so no one ever really wants to see my place!) 

Admittedly, those courses are the big draws in the area. However, Brown's Run is a hidden gem and anyone on this site should try to play it if they get the chance. I've only played one round there but really had a good time. Also, it's probably more affordable than the other clubs you mentioned!

[Tyler Kearns]

Glendale G & CC
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Designed in 1948 by Stanley Thompson

Played Brown's Run twice about 5 or 6 years ago in an intra-state tournament. There were definitely some good holes. It's too far away from me for me to play it regularly though.

Franklin Hills is one of my favorites. I only played it once when I was in Detroit and it became my favorite on that trip which included Oakland Hills.  It is truly a hidden gem.

Beverly Country Club

Donald Ross - 1920ish

please see my club history under "My Home Course" to the left!!!

Curious what is this "My Home Course" section?  I don't see anything and wonder if this is outdated feature?  Would be nice to see where people live or where your home club is under your name when posting.

[Brad Tufts]

The old "my home course" feature turned into the "in my opinion" section.


It includes all the old MHC profiles, as well as many essays on architecture...
