What is your favorite ‘true’ hidden gem course?
A course that doesn’t get the love and attention in golf magazines or social media, but is every bit as good as any course out there.
My nomination is Sky Valley Country Club in Georgia. It’s the highest elevated course in Georgia, and is routinely 5 degree cooler than anywhere else in the state, so it’s perfect for the middle of summer. And unless I’m mistaken, I think they now hold the distinction of being the southernmost golf course in the country to feature both Bentgrass greens and fairways.
Lots of good views, wide fairways, and fast greens. I can’t recall a time I’ve ever played here where I didn’t have a great time, even when I was playing bad.
I’ve played several top notch courses, including a few that have hosted PGA Tour events, State Amateurs and US Open Qualifiers, and one that’s hosted a Ryder Cup. I currently have Sky Valley as my #13 favorite course I’ve ever played (Yes, I keep a list).
What’s your favorite course that not everyone has heard of?
