As soon as the weather turned nice this year, I was out hitting Golf balls. There are two really good driving ranges near me, so I've been going back and forth to try to brush off the winter rust. My long Game and my short Game is great, but I have no consistency in the middle with any of my irons. I'm certainly not my dad, Terry Walsh, who was a multi-year Dutchess County Golf Amateur winner.

It should be to no surprise that my dad grew up in Orange County, where there is an abundance of awesome golf courses. The landscape of golf in Orange County has changed over the decades, but there is a long legacy on the links. Whether you started teeing off for the year as soon as the snow disappeared or you're just getting back out there, you’ll find your ideal golf course in Orange County, N.Y., whether you’re a champion golfer or it’s your first time picking up a club.
