The Dunes Golf & Beach Club and Arcadian Shores

Johnny B playing some Jones family golf tomorrow. Robert Trent Jones, Se. classic at The Dunes and a Rees Jones design at Arcadian Shores. Dunes and Arcadian Shores are both prior Golf Digest Top 100 in America and Dunes is currently ranked among the Top 100 Public Courses in America. Should be quite a fun day. Photo tours and reviews to come shortly.

The Walking Golfers Society

So while I haven't said it directly, it could have been assumed by reading some of my previous postings about walking the course and having walkability being a key factor in my course ratings, I am a member of The Walking Golfer's Society. I am also involved in some of the website management. This is a great organization that is being run to provide golfer's who walk the course a place to go and be around like-minded individuals.

The Society and it's website is a great resource for golfers wishing to travel to different locations and find out what courses in that area are walker-friendly. The Walkability Rating section of the website lists courses using four different colors, Green-Yellow-Orange-Red, in terms of how walkable the courses are. Green being the easiest, Red the most difficult. There is also another color, Gray, for courses that are carts only. There is a huge number of courses currently rated on the scale and the Society is certainly accepting new ratings.

The website also has numerous Interviews and Articles, some by highly recognized individuals and golf writers. These articles range from personal testimonies on the benefits of walking to travel guides for different areas. These are a great resource for all golfers.

Course reviews also exist on the Society website, profiling a number of courses not available here.

At present, we are trying to plan a national Society event for next summer in Colorado. I am also trying to plan one for early next year in the Florida Panhandle or Southwestern Alabama.

This Society is something that we are trying to turn into a thriving online community for walking golfers. Hopefully you will swing by and join us. Enjoy the walk.
