After a terrible 8 month experience of finally getting the new website up and running, when I was told it would be only 3 weeks, the developer has taken it down after only two years. I was promised a lifetime dedicated hosting, domain registration along with design and development satisfaction. I was repeatly promised after paying the fee that I would NEVER have to pay another cent for ANYTHING and this would be my legacy forever. Well two years later after zero support to help me add any new photo albums, they wanted me to pay more than twice what I initially paid to add more bandwidth. I told them NO way am I paying you anything more as I have gotten nothing from you to this point and I'm not throwing good $ after bad. I requested that my site be migrated to another company and they said they would not do it until I paid the full additional fee. Even though I had already paid them several years in advance for a lifetime website.RIP OFF!!
I was unable to post any new albums on this blog starting at #850. The developer took all my old Picasa albums off this site so I have lost "thousands" of photo's. I hope to eventually be able to restore these lost albums. Over half of the photo's are still here. If you click on a course and it doesn't show up that is why. Most of the other categories are still intact.
I do have an X(Twitter) account @inpursuitof1000. Course Albums from 10 years ago, starting with #568 (2015) thru the current date can be viewed there and are posted soon after I play the course. I also have an Instagram account @inpursuitof1000 you can view a short version of the best photo's of each course that was created in 2012.
I am older and have minimal tech knowledge so I will try and update this site the best I can. But it hasn't slowed down my PURSUIT OF 1000 golf courses! I hope to make it in 2026.

Welcome to my Golf Course Photo Tours
Thank you for taking the time to check out my golf course blog. The main focus of this blog is for you to preview golf courses I have photographed since 2006. I don't think you will find another website with more photographs of golf courses than this one. You will notice that initially I was snapping only a couple photos of a few holes at each course. It has now evolved into more than 125 pictures starting out with the club house facilities, historical photo's, and practice area. Next, I try to obtain a yardage guide and start out each hole with a photo of it followed by several shots of the hole from various angles. By clicking the SLIDESHOWS icon above and then clicking on a particular golf course you will hopefully get a nice feel for individual courses. The average slide show will last about 6 minutes, so there are many hours of viewing available if you have the time.
As of July 4, 2025, I will have photographed albums of 627 courses (foreign courses will be followed by asterisks*) and over 85,000 photos taken since I bought that first digital camera in 2006. I am currently on my 5th camera and am using a Sony DSC-RX100M3, 20 Megapixels, with Carl Zeiss lens. Actually, I think my Iphone 11 takes better photo's.
Any new courses I photograph I will post ASAP. Check back often for new posts, recent courses photographed, and my bi-monthly words of wisdom and Golf Quote/Jokes. If you look under the CHRONOLOGICAL icon above you will see when I first played a course and how I rated it in my six color system (red=poor to black=excellent). Under the STATE/REGION, I have ranked the courses from the best on down in each area. Hopefully, if you are undecided about a course to play this will give you a better idea about the quality of that particular course.
The SCORECARD icon will explain how the color coded rating system works and a numerical breakdown. TRUE LINKS will take you to all the True Links Golf Courses, as determined by Top100Golf Courses.com and George Pepper's book, that I have played in the world. I hope you enjoy the photo tours and my progress towards 1000 courses played.
The ACTIVE SLIDESHOW running above are some of the better photos of courses I have played the past few years.(currently having technical problems with that function)
You can also follow Inpursuitof1000golfer on INSTAGRAM and TWITTER(X) @inpursuitof1000 Check Twitter to see which new courses I have just played and for most recent course photos. The Instagram account will have the Top photo's from that course available to view. I always look forward to and enjoy playing with the local members. Tweet me if you see I am in your area.
**NOTE** starting with #850 I have not been able to post any NEW pictures directly to the above Slideshow or True Links headers. You will need to copy the link manually (or go to my Twitter(X) account, and click on the active link) to view the most recent photo's.
