Newport Dunes Golf Club

newportdunes

Newport Dunes Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer design is on the Gulf of Mexico coast just east of Corpus Christi. The course opened just after the Great Recession started in 2008, and is part of an overall resort, real estate development. Fortunately, even though the real estate side of the market has languished, they’ve been able to maintain the golf course-a testament to the quality of the layout and setting.

It’s one of the more authentic “links” courses you will play in the US outside of Bandon Dunes. The routing is full of water, sand traps, and rolling sandhills with the fairways providing  a nice contrast to the natural brush areas bordering. The course more challenging than the ratings suggest from the blue tees at 6,435 yards, 71.0/113, especially when the wind is up. 

Truly worth your time when in the Corpus Christi area, about 30 minutes east on the coast, and likely the best public golf in the area!

Augusta National Golf Club: Home of the Masters

 

Augusta National Golf Club: Home of the Masters

It’s time for the Masters Tournament. Though you might not be able to play on the private Augusta National Golf Club Course, it’s still a place that golf fans everywhere should try to visit at least once.  Even if it’s just to look around. 

The Masters Tournament has been held at Augusta National since 1934 and it’s the only one of the Major Tournaments consistently held at the same golf course. The longstanding traditions of the Masters, including the green jacket for champions and lifetime invitations for winners to compete, make the Masters a distinct and beloved competition. In addition to hosting the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Golf Course is known for another tradition – the famed Masters Champions dinner that kicks off the competition and gives the previous year’s winner the honor of picking the menu. This year, Bubba Watson chose a simple dinner of grilled chicken, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Augusta National has served up everything from hamburgers to blood sausage. You can see the past Champions dinner menus here.

Augusta National is a private course situated in Augusta, GA, along the Savannah River. The course runs of a total of 7,435 yards with a par of 72, a course rating of 78.1 and a slope rating of 137. Each hole is named after a different type of tree or shrub, a nod to the former plant nursery that was once on that land.  It’s been ranked in the top 10 for Golfweek Magazine’s best classic courses in the United States. Augusta National also ranked as Golf’s Digest’s #1 greatest course in America.  As far as private courses go, Augusta National has some of the most exclusive course membership policies. The club only admitted its first two female members, Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore, in August of 2012.
