I am a golf professional at a top 100 Country Club in the States and have played many great tracks. If you don't mind me asking how did you get on at Pine Valley? The two that have provided the biggest challenge are Augusta and Pine Valley. I know its hard to believe. My goal is to play the Top 100 golf courses in America, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

Top 5

Shinnecock

Oakmont

National

Crystal Downs

Chicago GC

 

The experience of playing the National is an amazing golf experience, I have enjoyed other golf courses more(not by much) but the overall experice is priceless.

FWIW- Bethpage Black is way better than Torrey Pines South. Harbour Town, WeKoPa, Troon North and Cabo del Sol complexes each had some great holes, and am psyched for a trip to New Zealand!!

I'm young and poor, so I haven't been to the great places that some of you have, so from my narrow spectrum here in the PacNW here is my list.

 

Columbia Edgewater CC- Portland, OR- One of the premier 'player's clubs' in the country, amazing golf course, very underrated

Sahalee CC- Sammamish, WA- Playing the same holes that some of the greats have played was truly amazing

Tetherow Golf Club- Bend, OR- Amazing new David McKlay Kidd design, played it before it was even open and it was breath taking. I want to get back to play it again now that it's grown in some

The Members Club at Aldarra- sammamish, WA- Stunning and relatively new ultra exclusive private

Chambers Bay- University Place, WA- Again I played it very early on, and need to get back and see it now that it's a little more mature

In no particular Order, OK maybe some order....

 

Sand Hills

Garden City Golf Club

Prairie Dunes

Winged Foot West

Friars Head

Harbour Town

Austin Golf Club

 

Kind of interesting that I left Pebble, Whistling Staits, Southern Hills and Bethpage off the list. Glad I've played them, but have a true affection for the ones listed above.

 

Realistically hoping to knock Colonial and Brook Hollow off the "want to play really bad" list this year and see how they fare.

 

Pipe dream would be National and Shinnecock. Took tons of photos at sunrise on a trip to LI last summer. Amazing place.
