My most enjoyable courses played have been

Carnoustie (despite the rain, mist and fog),

Pebble Beach (who could not enjoy that place),

St Andrews (atmosphere),

Bandon Dunes (existential),

Pasatiempo (sheer class), and

Royal Melbourne (pure golf).

Hoping to add Sand Hills and Royal County Down to that list over the next year or so.

Updated US Top 5 I have played:

1) Pine Valley

2) Oakmont

3) Merion

4) Seminole

4) Sleepy Hollow - I have some great courses I have played, but this one really shocked me how good it was.

 

Still to play this year:

Prairie Dunes

Sand Hills

Shinnecock

National Golf Links

Fisher’s Island

Winged Foot

 

So plenty of opportunities to have some drastic changes.

So jealous! This is a great list. I have heard so many great things about Sleepy Hollow... Hoping to get out there someday. Fishers is the only course I have played of the ones you listed, interested to see where that ranks at the end of your season!

In no particular order...

 

1.) Bay Hill

2.) Old Quarry (Curacao)

3.) TPC Myrtle Beach

4.) Golden Horseshoe Gold (Won a tournament there)

5.) Bulle Rock

 

I'm playing Bulle Rock with my dad and a couple of friends on Saturday. Can't wait!

 

My top 5 so far are limited. In no particular order:

 

Pinehurst #2

Pinehurst #8

Pine Needles

Laurel Hill (Virginia)

RTJ II course at The Golf Club of Lansdowne (Virginia)

 

Honorable mention goes to Whiskey Creek in Maryland.

 

In 2019 I'll be going to Scotland for 4-5 rounds, so I'm sure I'll have a few new additions to the list.
