This article is going absolutely ballistic from @CarZachary, and deservingly so: he’s been the best writer at @beyondcontour for some time, and when he brings interesting topics up like this, people read. Love the deep dive into Quebec + what’s coming! beyondthecontour.com/quebecs-cult-o…
@beyondcontour Awesome list guys. Nice to see one put out that doesn’t include private courses. Looking forward to playing #1 & #3 this summer. 👍 ⛳️
@ZeroDarkWoody @ZeroDarkWoody @beyondcontour Playing Golf Digest Top 100 Public US would cost $27,981 USD for an average of $282.64 (GD removed one course bc they went private so their list is 99 courses). Canada's top 100 public is quite a bit more reasonable!
Would love this stat for top 100 public in US
11 days until we unveil the 100 best public golf courses in Canada, but who’s counting?
@beyondcontour To be clear, these are renderings… not before/after videos.
@beyondcontour Open access to the public. A golf course where membership or affiliation to a member is not a requirement to play.
@realGolfchat I’ve become a huge fan of @top100golf & @beyondcontour #GolfChat
@beyondcontour “Jeff Mingay (1922)” is slightly off 🙃
@beyondcontour Website shows 11:59 PM EST end time for me. And the time left countdown also has this
Coming in on 18 . @beyondcontour Thank you for the nice shot 😁👍🙏
The par 3s on the south course ⛳️ 3 - 181 yards 5 - 231 yards 8 - 210 yards
Scarboro lands at No. 36 on @beyondcontour's Top 100 in Canada. #SGCC | #Since1912
Six courses from British Columbia, two debuts in the top 50, and a whole lot more to unpack. We're a week away from the completion of @beyondcontour's Top 100 in Canada. Click the link below for No.'s 26-50! beyondthecontour.com/top-100/canada…
@beyondcontour Number 83 on the list now available on your fave video game console. 🙃🙃🙃
Count @beyondcontour among the Canadiens rousing rabble this week, as the site has begun its countdown of the nation's Top 100 courses. Shown here is Priddis Greens, because '88 was also the last time the Bengals made the Super Bowl. beyondthecontour.com/top-100/
