Around New York City
New York City and its surrounds may not seem like a place for golf, but the fact is that hundreds and thousands of rounds are played annually at its public golf courses. The Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Long Island is a very challenging course flocked by skilled golfers and the woodland surroundings are tranquil enough to help you focus on your game. Pound Ridge boasts thoughtfully designed holes and a landscape of woodlands, wetlands and exposed rock full of beauty and drama.

Scottish Open: first played in 1972, this year’s championship is again played on the Tom Doak-designed Renaissance Club course, which sits alongside mighty Muirfield in East Lothian (Oct 1-4).
Who's Who:
Jim Furyk: in winning the Pure Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach Golf Links, “The Grinder” joined Arnold Palmer and Bruce Fleisher as the only players to win their first two starts on the PGA Tour Champions.
Georgia Hall: recorded her first win in an LPGA Tour event on American soil at this year’s Portland Classic, played at Columbia Edgewater Country Club … on the edge of the Columbia River.
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
