Sharp, who has played No. 2 five times over the past three years, says he discovers something new about the course every time he visits. "It's as good as it gets, no matter what anybody says to the contrary," Sharp writes. While the debate rages on, be sure to check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features, plus our newest Travel Golf Guy column and Cynthia Boal Janssens' feature on how to save money on your next golf vacation.
