  • Golfing is my favorite hobby, actually an obsession. Many courses are have gotten quite expensive or unavailable to the public. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to play some of the well-known great courses in the U.S. along with some courses in Bermuda, Jamaica, Ireland and Scatland.
  • I have listed them below, by state, with my home state first. Note that some I have not played for a long time, but in the "type" column I have tried to indicate what I think the accessibility is.

    Type: P=Public; V=Private; S=Semi-private; R=Resort
