Best/Favorite Course

Just about any course at Treetops in Gaylord Michigan will rank way up there.

But i think my favorite is Wild Bluff in Brimley Michigan where they play the Canadian Open. Michele Wie has played that tournament

I should be adding more courses to my list soon, after my summer golf next year. There are a lot of course that I love to play but really aren't rated very highly.

the most "exotic" course I've played was Quinta da Marinha in Estoril (outside Lisbon) Portugal. Otherwise - I have not played too many exotic courses, but I really enjoy the "Tribute" here in the Dallas area, which has replicas from holes of famous English and Scottish courses.

Havent play any of the major courses, but my favortie so far has been Shenedoah and Kauylt at Turning Stone Resort.

Favorite Course:

Monticello McCormick, SC

The best I have played is the Grand Cypress Resort courses, especially the New Course. I was lucky enough to play there for an entire week for free so. Loved the resort as well. Great place!

Of the courses I've played, my favorites are:

Pinehurst #2

Pinehurst #7 (didn't play #8 #4, heard they're great)

TPC Sawgrass (Stadium)

Kampen Course (P.Dye design at Purdue Univ) great holes!

Any Donald Ross course will make my top 10 favorite courses.

My fav has to be Pebble Beach, it was an awesome place to play and stay. everything was beyond first class all the way. I was on my honeymoon and every place we went the staff seemed to know that we were the honeymoon couple. we played on a day that was sunny, plenty of blue skies and no wind ( which is unusual) . was a great experience and the view were unbelievable , my avatar is me on the 7th green :vava: we also played Links at Spanish Bay and it was a fabulous course as well. my wife has been asking me if we are going back and I tell her whenever we can find the time and get some money saved we are there ! have to admit the whole Monterey area is a great place.... so many sights and wildlife to see, would love to move to the area some day.

I have not played a lot of notable courses, but of the ones I have my favorites are:

Kapalua

The Links at Spanish Bay

Cog Hill #4 (Dubsdread)

The Tribute

Barton Creek (Foothills and Canyons)

Hi all. My first post here. Hope its the first of many. The nicest courses I have played are:

Orange County National Crooked Cat

World Woods Pine Barrons

Bandon Dunes

Pacific Dunes

Bandon and Pacific Dunes are my favorites. Everything about that facility is fantastic.

Wow, y'all have played some top-shelf courses! My favorite, so far, was outside Atlanta, Cherokee Run. They carved a course out of something like 10% of the acreage that was set aside for the equestrian events in the Summer Olympics. Good track, and no houses. More deer than people on the day we played.

Best I've played:

Hawk's Ridge - Ball Ground, GA

Bulle Rock - Havre de Grace, MD

World Woods - Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks

Playing after the Tour Championship:

East Lake Golf Club - Atlanta, GA

Living in the Chicago area, there are no shortage of quality courses. The ones I've been lucky enough to play are:

Medinah #3

Olympia Fields

Butler National

Rich Harvest Farms

Blackwolf Run (River and Meadow Valleys)

Whistling Straights (Straights)

and, of course, my home course, Aurora CC, a beautiful old Tom Bendelow design!

Right now I kinda like Spyglass...(shot 83 from the tips a few weeks ago) cant see how Phil shot 62 there... greens are tough

It is hard to define favorites, I have played so many courses that it is hard to put my finger on one or two.

Whistling Straits

Black Wolf Run

TPC Sawgrass (all TPC courses that I have played are great)

The Orchards (home of US Am. Pub Links)

TPC Michigan ( one of my home courses)

Indianwood G & CC ( old and new courses- my other home course)

Troon North

Wee-Ko-Paw (and many others in AZ.)

My favorite courses that I've played are:

1) Victoria National Golf Club (The best golf course you've never heard of)

2) Oakland Hills Country Club - South Course

3) Harbor Town

4) The Orchards

5) TPC Michigan

Later this fall I get to play Whistling Straights, which should be awesome.

Beekman Country Club (NY)

Tashua Knolls(CT)

Coronado (San Diego, CA)

Candlewood Valley (CT)

Maple Moor (NY)
