Witness the lonesome pine of Formby Golf Club in Liverpool, England. Pine Valley Golf Club in Clementon Valley, N.J., at least introduces a splash of color. But it’s fair to say the world’s greatest course does not have the world’s greatest logo. Crooked Tree Golf Course in Mason, Ohio, makes a spirited effort.

LIV Golf (/lɪv/) is a professional golf tour financed by the Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. The name LIV is a reference to the Roman numeral for 54, the score if every hole on a par-72 course were birdied and the number of holes to be played at LIV events.
A byproduct of that growth has been an increased demand for real estate, a reality that led to the recent announcements that The Witch and Farmstead will be closing at the conclusion of the fall season. A Dan Maples design that plays through a cypress swamp, The Witch (top photo) will close November 21.

The PGA Championship is the third-oldest of the men's professional golf majors, dating to 1916. Which means it's been played at many different golf courses over the years.
The PGA Championship's Match Play Golf Courses. When it was first played in 1916, the PGA Championship was a match-play tournament. And it stayed that way through the 1957 tournament, not switching to stroke play until 1958.
With water to the right and a bunker to the left, the only place to put your tee shot is on the green and towards the pin on the middle left of the green.
While PGA National offers golfers four other courses to play ( Fazio, Squire, Estate, and Palmer courses), the Champion Course is the sole one implemented for the Honda Classic. Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s course.
With a dogleg right, the 16th hole is considered the most-difficult par-4 of the 90 holes of golf available at PGA National. The hole slopes off the tee toward the water on the right of the fairway, but the addition of a new bunker can catch balls that roll too far to the right. Golfers who are able to keep their tee shots to ...
The back of the 15th green was raised to make it more visible, while the pin is located on the back right of the green. It typically plays into the wind, and a shot aimed at the bunkers to the left of the green will likely avoid the water to the right of the green.
The origin of the course: The Champion Course at PGA National opened for business in 1981, and it was designed by the uncle-nephew course architect duo of George and Tom Fazio. The course was designed with the purpose of being utilized for major tournament play, and it has lived up to that billing over the last 38 years.
CATEGORGY I: ANIMALSClubs and courses are often named after animals -- from Bear Creek Golf Club in Murrieta, Calif., to Wolf Creek Golf Club in Atlanta -- so it’s logical that they also work animals into their logos. What’s troubling is how they work in animals.
Craigelew Golf Club, outside Edinburgh, Scotland: Yes, everyone loves bunnies -- the cute and cuddly kind! This poor little guy looks like he’s headed for the spit. 7 of 45. Other animal logos look like they were sketched during arts-and-crafts hour. Here’s looking at you, Possum Trot Golf Course in North Myrtle Beach.
Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Neb., cleverly turned its initials into a cattle brand. 45 of 45. History buffs will recognize Boston Golf Club’s emblem as the flag flown by the Sons of Liberty, the colonists who organized the founding colonies’ first secret society. The design later inspired the American flag.
Colbert Hills Golf Club in Manhattan, Kans., hits the mark. The shield is understated and the bucket hat is a lovely touch: an homage to the course’s namesake, eight-time PGA Tour winner Jim Colbert. 27 of 45.
Leading the way is historic Kingston Heath Golf Club in Victoria, Australia, which features K, H, G and C (yes, they’re all in there somewhere) in a wrestling match. 24 of 45. Some people see a stately logo for Old Palm Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. We see golf clubs dressed for a luau. 25 of 45.
From the back tees, the Lower Course at Baltusrol is brutal. So was the murder of the man the club was named for.
As the story goes, Annee Palmer was an English-born beauty and a sinister practitioner of “black magic” who did away with her first husband, John, then offed two subsequent spouses as well as several lovers during her reign as plantation mistress at the Rose Hall Great House. That was in the early 1800s.
Ask some longtime members and they’ll tell you the 13th hole of their parkland course is home to a mischievous apparition who makes off with their golf balls when they land in the fairway. One popular explanation is that birds are the real thieves. But a case of ectoplasmic kleptomania makes for a much better tale.
The 11th hole is known as Clooties Elbow, a nickname derived from the Gaelic word for devil. Over the years, countless golfers playing the mid-length par-pour have recounted feelings of terror and foreboding.
The supernatural story surrounding this layout springs from a long-ago tragic event. In the 1880s, a woman named Catherine Sutter was traveling through the region when her two children vanished. They were never found.
The Fairmont Banff Springs is an elegant hotel that overlooks a celebrated Stanley Thompson layout. It is also a popular spot for weddings, not all of which have ended well. In the early 1930s, a bride in flowing gown was making her way down the hotel’s graceful limestone stairwell when she tripped and fell. There would be no honeymoon for her.
Tales of the supernatural seem to spring up everywhere around New Orleans. This public track is no exception. Some golfers have returned to the clubhouse, shaken, insisting they’ve heard screams, emanating on the fairways from disembodied voices.
Consider the Foxburg Golf Club (Pennsylvania), and The Oakhurst Golf Club (West Virginia). Both Foxburg and Oakhurst had records of playable courses in 1884. The Foxburg, however, was a private course on private property that only had eight holes when it was created.
Here, one of the oldest, original golf courses exists, but only 12 of the 18 holes. Willie Davis designed the original 12 holes at Shinnecock Hills. In 1894, another six holes were added. Shinnecock Hills is noteworthy not only for its longevity, but also because of its progressive history.
Originally, the Quogue was an 18-hole course. In 1938, however, three holes were lost to a natural disaster. Now, only nine holes remain of the original 18 from 1887. Those nine holes are among the oldest in the United States golf course history.
Host of the 2021 Irish Open, the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in all of the country. With five lakes and over 80 bunkers, the challenging course measures over 7,200 yards and features a unique ‘bunker walled green’ protecting the pin on the 16th hole.
The course was originally only nine holes, but it was increased to 18 in 1893. The 18 holes were redesigned in 1895 and moved to a location in Wheaton, making it the second oldest 18-hole course still existing in the United States, next to Shinnecock. All 18 holes, sadly, are no longer accessible.
St Andrew’s Golf Club (New York) also deserves mention because it is among the oldest golf courses with continuous use today. The golf club proudly acknowledges more than 125 years of continuous course play and can attribute continuous play on the current course back to 1897 — although the club itself has been notably active since 1888. Shortly after the opening of St Andrew’s course in 1897, the Savannah Golf Club responded with a course that has been in use since 1899. Although there are some discrepancies about what makes a golf course old, the oldest golf courses or clubs in the United States are all worth visiting if the opportunity arises. They are all an important piece of history and loved by their communities.
The Oakhurst Golf Club also formed in 1884. Oakhurst claims to be “the first organized golf club in the United States.”. Remember, some golf clubs at that time were not exclusively golf clubs. Oakhurst is the oldest golf course still in use in the same location in the United States. Although the Oakhurst links make up one ...
