In the early 2000s, Virginia Tech alumnus and philanthropists Bill Goodwin and his wife, Alice, asked their friend, Pete Dye, to consider converting the existing River Course into a world class layout. Through the Goodwin’s generosity and the creativity of Pete Dye, Virginia Tech gained a much improved facility that would serve the university community, the golfing public, and provide a home for the university golf team (the "Hokies").

US Amateur Championships: the world’s oldest women’s amateur championship is hosted at Old Waverly in Mississippi (Aug 5-11), and the men’s second oldest amateur championship at legendary Pinehurst No.2 (Aug 12-18).(British) Senior Open: heads for Royal Lytham & St Anne’s with Miguel Ángel Jiménez defending his title (July 25-28).

| Walton Heath Golf Club (Old course): Top golfers and golf writers have long acknowledged Walton Heath as one of the finest heathland courses in the British Isles. In fact there are two courses here, the Old and New. Read more... |
| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford. The golf course, laid out in the grounds of a sumptuous stately mansion (now hotel), offers many undulating and stylishly crafted golf holes. Read more... |
Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.

Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |
