Best Public Golf in Washington

2 days ago | linksmagazine.com | Tony Dear

The Evergreen State is divided into several different geological, topographical, and climactic areas-the Washington State Department of Ecology says there are seven very distinct physiographic regions-but, ignoring the smaller details for a moment, it's probably safe to say it is split into two not-quite-equal halves by the Cascade Mountains of which mighty Mount Rainier, at 14,410 feet, is probably the most recognizable landmark.

1 week ago | linksmagazine.com | Erik Matuszewski

Less than a mile from Yellowstone National Park, in Montana's Paradise Valley, is a property where you can work as a ranch hand or take a trail ride in the morning and then play 18 holes of golf (or as many as you'd like, really) in the afternoon.

Despite ranking 33rd in size among U.S. states, Pennsylvania is fifth in population, so it's not surprising that The Keystone State is home to dozens of truly outstanding golf clubs and courses. With the Delaware River in its southeastern corner, Lake Erie at its northwest border, and the Appalachian, Allegheny, and Pocono Mountains in between, Pennsylvania's diverse topography lends itself well to the creation of many kinds of fields of dreams for golfers.

3 weeks ago | linksmagazine.com | Tony Dear

Reading a good book at any time of year is a very profitable way to pass some time. If the volume/paperback/text/chronicle/novel you're enjoying was chosen carefully and hits all the right notes, you'll either increase your knowledge, develop a far better understanding of the world, or laugh/smile considerably more often than you typically do.

4 weeks ago | linksmagazine.com | Tony Dear

While they were almost commonplace in the legal, accounting, consulting, and insurance professions before the turn of the century (the architecture business had its share of examples, too), golf design firms with three principals have been a rarity. A hundred years ago, Harry Colt headed two three-partner companies in England-Colt, MacKenzie, and Alison from 1919-23; and Colt, Alison, and Morrison from 1928 until Colt's death in 1951.

You'll find Buddhas aplenty. Birdies? Not so much. When you brave the throngs at Bangkok's Chatuchak Market to browse the handiwork of local artisans or sample spicy Thai street food, don't bypass the stalls selling umbrellas and parasols. Thailand's midday summer temps can top 100. And during monsoon season, dodging downpours is as common as happening upon the smiling face of Buddha.

The Kingsley Club

Inspired by a neighboring classic, this Michigan masterpiece combines the best of worlds old and newSomehow, you just know that when a private club lies at the end of a rural dirt road, it's going to be something special. In the case of Kingsley Club, that road might as well be a yellow brick one. Because the course it leads to exhibits a wizard's touch. Kingsley opened for play in 2001 on 400 acres of ferociously hilly grassland and forest in northwest Michigan.
