The Dallas Morning News course rankings are a team effort. The 80 Dallas Morning News panel members were given a ballot of 300 courses and asked to rate them on a 10-point scale. Panel members are golf professionals, golf course architects, superintendents, people involved in the golf course industry and amateurs. Here are some courses to consider checking out this year. #golf #golfcourses #golfing

Wrapping up the front 9 on this vision for Lake Bluff Golf Club, is a long par 5. Most will recognize this as the current second, but we have stretched it out with new tees back off 8 green. The new driving range is just to the left. #lakebluff #golfcoursedesigners #digitalgolf #conceptualdesign #golfarchitecture #sustainablegolf #emergency9

This is a great example of how synthetic turf seamlessly integrates into a golf course, enhancing both aesthetics and playability. The synthetic tees not only offer players a consistently high-quality playing surface for years but also contribute to cost savings for the club by reducing necessary inputs. The technology behind synthetic turf has advanced to a point where there is next to no distinction between the two - it is merely a perception issue that golfers don't seem to accept synthetic turf. This will change with more projects like this.

"[Toptracer] literally invented the [range technology] space and, as a result, reinvented the range experience," proclaims Danny Campbell, Commercial Director of St Andrews Links Trust. St Andrews Links, a 600-year-old golfing institution, partnered with Toptracer in 2021 to bring the #1 range technology in golf to their facility, aiming to attract both seasoned golfers and younger demographics to the historic venue. Not only did their range feature Toptracer technology, but St Andrew's famed Old Course was made available for virtual play at all Toptracer Range-enabled facilities worldwide. Since implementing Toptracer, St Andrews has seen a significant increase in range usage, with over 1 million balls hit in the first two months alone. Players are spending more time at the facility, with the average range session lasting nearly 45 minutes. "They understand operator challenges," added Campbell. "They understand how to transform practice areas into experiential destinations and how to build a seamless platform that provides a valuable experience to all golfers.” For more examples why facilities like St Andrews Links trust Toptracer more than other range technology, visit the link below! https://lnkd.in/g9KAWqWs #toptracer #toptracerrange #1inrange #golf #golfnews #golfindustry #drivingrange #golftechnology #rangetechnology #golfcourseowners #golfcourseoperators #bestpractice #casestudy #ukgolf #thehomeofgolf #standrewslinks #standrews

Question for anyone in the Golf Industry:   Do you think an Interactive Aerial Tour would help gain more interest from future players?   Interactive Aerial Tours include yardage and information of each hole, clubhouse virtual tour integration, and a map of the course to display where you are on the course.

Course redesign aims to recapture look, playability of 1940s glory, east of downtown Atlanta East Lake Golf Club

Augusta National is far more than a golf club, and it's far more than the site for one of the world's leading sporting events. Indeed, it is a one-of-its-kind organization that exemplifies excellence across a multitude of disciplines.  As I departed from Augusta over the weekend, I reflected on this special place that Jim Nanz aptly described on television as "a tradition unlike any other." (Augusta subsequently trademarked this phrase). Below are three observations that struck me as fundamental to Augusta's remarkable success. ✅  Attention to detail. At Augusta, every detail is attended to. From the perfect fairways, where not a single blade of grass appears out of place, to the spotless stands and the staff's service, nothing is overlooked. ✅  A vision unlike any other. Augusta was born in 1932 out of the dauntless vision of Bobby Jones (then an iconic US golfer) and British golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie to be a leading national golf course that would host world-class competitions. The club's commitment to being the best is reflected in everything you see—from television coverage to positioning attendees as "patrons" rather than spectators to the club's blue-chip membership. ✅  Long-term decision-making. Augusta does not play for short-term wins. It is invested in long-term value creation and a fundamentally different product than other tournaments. It executes for the long term with unwavering commitment. The famous 330-yard Magnolia Lane that extends from the entrance gate to the clubhouse was paved in 1947, yet the large magnolia trees that line both sides of the road date to the late 1850s. Anchored in tradition but embracing change with cutting-edge technology and analysis—that, to me, is what makes Augusta great. If you have not visited the Masters, I would encourage you to do so—even if it is only to study the remarkable Augusta National institution. #AugustaNational #Golf #Excellence #MagnoliaLane #Tradition
