Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 170. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today, Golf Course Rater Ken Miller joins the show and the discussion centers around golf courses from design to pro shop mementos.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Ken talk about experiencing golf courses of all different shapes and styles. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as golf courses go Off Course.

Episode 170 is here and Dan and Ken discuss the following topics.
Experiencing Golf Courses in Many Styles and Designs
Course Design Around Land or Against It
Appreciating New vs Courses with History
Cheap Design Features vs Great Ones
Buying Mementos For More Than Just the Logo
And so much more

Hope you guys enjoy!
I’ve always been fascinated by conversations from folks who have really seen it all from a design and location perspective, and actually take the time to appreciate the subtle nuances of each experience. There are a few books I REALLY need to dive into that talk purely course design, because I think it helps to appreciate the beauty of golf (especially some of these insane Dormie properties we’ve been seeing).
well, you ARE a legend, sooo
Definitely was not aware he wasn’t a member there anymore though. With you saying how much he plays there, that’s shocking to learn
It’s fine, skim shady. I’m glad you’re here.
It’s one of the things I have REALLY tried to open my eyes to when I visit a golf course – their willingness to work with the land and not against it to create brilliance.
Your comment on Strantz was funny
Even though his portfolio isn’t the largest because of his passing, but he’s exactly who I think of when I think of working with the land to create a course. Tobacco Road is one of my most wanting to play courses
I’ve never played it.
Had a chance one time and got sick instead. It sucked a lot.
So when we go, I get to drive, yeah?
Thank you so much my good man!
