Course Review - Sherrill Park No. 2

3 weeks ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Sherrill Park is municipal golf at its finest. Two courses, each offering a different challenge while maintaining solid conditions and playability for all skill levels. Sherrill Park No. 2 just underwent an extensive renovation of greens, tees and bunkers, as well as drainage improvements which will help conditions during the rainy spring months. The renovation gives this historic municipal a rejuvenated vibe, making a trip to Richardson well worth the effort.
After the Round - Sushi | Bar Dallas

1 month ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Tucked in a back alley near Commerce Street, between the Dallas Historic District and Deep Ellum, sits one of the finest restaurants in the city. Sushi | Bar is a concept renowned for its fresh, vibrant take on omakase-style sushi. Seating begins at three different times every evening (5:00, 7:15 and 9:30), and with just two rooms and 10 seats per room, to say this is an exclusive reservation would be an understatement.
Travel - Mountain Sky Guest Ranch

1 month ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Montana has a mystique all its own. From the days of Lewis and Clark and the fur trade to the hit TV series Yellowstone, Montana’s growing popularity has tourism on the rise. Not too far from the 2.2-million-acre National Park is a place that offers every bit of the Paradise Valley experience. The Mountain Sky Guest Ranch is part cowboy, part luxury, part golf and every bit amazing.

Towering pines, fresh air, lakeside views and every possible amenity you could ever want. Yes, that is what you get when you travel to Reynolds Lake Oconee, nestled deep within the Georgia wilderness. Located about 90 minutes east of Atlanta in the Oconee National Forest, this sprawling property offers world-class golf, a 19,000-acre lake, some of the most gorgeous homes you will ever see, fine dining, and a multitude of options for your stay, including a Ritz Carlton hotel.
Cover Story - 2025 PGA Show

2 months ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

The area near the convention center was clean and nice, although it was a little tourist-trappy. There are multiple bars and restaurants along International Drive, offering any number of places to dine and drink. There is also Icon Park, which features an observation wheel. For some reason, there is a business that offers helicopter tours of Orlando, which I found to be a little odd … but I guess maybe people want to do a fly-over of Disney?
Feature - Cosm Dallas

2 months ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

“Shared Reality” is a concept many are not familiar with. However, if you live in the Metroplex, there is a new venue that provides an atmosphere and watching experience unlike any other in Texas. Cosm Dallas, which is located in The Colony’s Grandscape, is the newest way to watch your favorite team, all in a completely altered reality that makes you feel like you’re there.
Course Review - Texas Rangers Golf Club

2 months ago | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

The last time we checked in on Texas Rangers Golf Club was back in 2021. The new, state-of-the-art clubhouse had just opened, and the property was finally complete. The course has been up and running since 2019, but the clubhouse took a couple of additional years to finish. Shortly after the completion of the clubhouse, the City of Arlington announced Rangers would be the host site of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Veritex Bank Championship, an event that brought another professional tournament to DFW.
Course Review - Mansfield National

Jan 8, 2025 | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Mansfield doesn’t have many options for golf. Although for the last few decades, it has grown into one of the busiest suburbs in the southern part of DFW, yet your golf options are limited. Of course, there is Walnut Creek Country Club, but it’s private. So, unless you’re a member there, that leaves you with only one option. Mansfield National, or “Manny Nat,” as we affectionately call it here at AG, is coming up on its 25th year as Mansfield’s only daily fee golf option.
After the Round - Roti Grill

Dec 3, 2024 | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Indian food is one of the culinary world’s conundrums. Some love it. Some are indifferent. Personally, I have very little experience with Indian food over the years, as it doesn’t usually come up when the wife and I are deciding on what we might have … well, that and there aren’t really many Indian joints near where we live. In Dallas, there is an Indian spot that might just be perfect for your next lunch or date night.
Course Review - Tour 18

Dec 3, 2024 | myavidgolfer.com | Eli Jordan

Tour 18 in Dallas has been a staple of the Dallas-area golf scene since the mid-‘90s. Think of Tour 18 as an interactive trip around the golf world. It features replica holes of some of the most famous designs in American golf. From Doral’s Blue Monster, Oakmont’s church pews and Amen Corner, these 18 holes are a great trip to places most mortal golfers will likely never see.
