Best New Public Courses 2009 - 2009 Best New Public Courses

Golf Digest’s list of Best New Public Courses 2009 is useful in that gives us an idea of what’s new and available in public access play. Public Access? Most of us, me included, usually take those two words to mean “cheap golf.” Not so, I’m afraid. True there is a huge number of fine and inexpensive golf courses we can play, but if we want to sally forth upon such hallowed championship layouts as designed by the Gods of Golf – Dye, Nicklaus, Palmer, Norman, and the likes – we’ll have to pay for the privilege, and often dearly too. The listing below is proof of that, right? No matter, those of us who can… will, right?
