Best New Courses of 2006 - Travel and Leisure
Just got wind of the release of this info.
Travel + Leisure’s golf section has this to say:
” It wasn’t long ago that America’s leading golf architects proclaimed an overseas building boom. Given the game’s growth in rapidly developing places like China and Dubai—and the availability of amazing parcels of land unencumbered by environmental red tape in remote locales such as New Zealand and Tasmania—the greatest courses, they argued, were increasingly being built in far-flung corners of the globe. What a difference a few years makes. If the roster of the best new courses to open in 2006 proves anything, it’s that—Ryder Cup futility notwithstanding—America has hardly become barren ground for golf. Eight of the ten courses on our list were laid out on U.S. soil in areas as diverse as the craggy sandhills of Colorado, the rolling farmland of Wisconsin and, believe it or not, the industrial waterfront of New Jersey. In varying ways, each course pays homage to classic design principles and at the same time sets exciting new standards for the craft. “
Their Top 10 looks like this:
