David McKlay Kidd's GrayBull Club is the new kid on the block in the Nebraska Sandhills. With its pathbreaking design, the latest addition to the Dormie Network brings a fresh and fun twist to the Sandhills golf lineup.

What an amazing week it's been photographing Loraloma in Spicewood, Texas. @DavidMcLayKidd & the team at Loraloma have hit a home run with this golf course. @stunaugler & his staff have the course in fabulous condition. Loving the various strains of wall to wall of Zoysia

If you are thinking about ditching health insurance all together but are worried about going completely naked in the case something big comes up, you should give CrowdHealth a look. Here is what our CrowdHealth members have paid on average/month over the last 12 months: $143

Work boots, borrowed driver, one practice swipe, @DavidMcLayKidd takes the first swing on No. 6 of his new, yet-to-be-named course @streamsong for a little dirt golf. Of course he drives the green of the short par 4. Classic DMK. Course is in grow-in, opens in 2026.

Just hung these 12 pieces of art from Ball Park Blueprints. They represent the 12 most common template golf hole designs. Often when we build a hole that appears to be a template hole it’s more coincidence than by design.

The gamble that became Gamble Sands took shape when David McLay Kidd brought his vision of fun to the Gebbers Family’s sandy land more than a decade ago. Here’s a peek at Part 4 of “Growing Gamble” — watch the full episode now: https://t.co/E3T6Dxdsd4

I'm biased, but it's difficult to conceive of any reason why Westport Golf Links shouldn't be built. For instructions on how to submit a comment, go to https://t.co/T0u6bfVAGb

Dunas course at Terras da Comporta gets better and better. I could have chosen 10 other fantastic pictures. So many epic holes. You would be happy with how it’s developed @DavidMcLayKidd

Spent last week in Fiji on Laucala Island revisiting a course we did for @redbull owner some 15+years ago. The island is hard to describe, it’s a secluded paradise for the A-lister for sure. The golf course is in great shape, so much fun, it’s a sleeper for sure

What's Black, Blue and Red? @streamsong of course...if you've not visited this amazing golf resort it's definitely time to add it to the ever growing bucket list...And, with another course on the way to be designed by @DavidMcLayKidd , it's only going to be a better

Had the privilege of playing golf with @DavidMcLayKidd at @GambleSands Telling his story from how his dad ended up in golf through his success introducing Links Golf to America @BandonDunesGolf is as interesting as the courses he designs. Thanks @golfgetaways for the opportunity
