City golf doesn't have to be an oxymoron. Golf is an important facet in the
landscape of every city in the country. From Dyker Beach in New York to
Balboa Park in San Diego, millions of urbanites tee it up every year in the
heart of the city.
And these are no pitch-and-putts. The architects of the courses that make up
our roster of urban oases at America's 10 biggest cities include John
Bredemus (designer of Colonial Country Club), Hugh Wilson (designer of
Merion) and A.W. Tillinghast (designer of Winged Foot).
Sure, these courses may be crowded or may not be pristinely conditioned. But
between the course and the characters you'll no doubt meet, these metro designs
provide an enjoyable round, one that should be part of every golfer's
bucket list.
