[ddbowdoin]

I can't think of 20 because I play crap courses but...

 

1.) The Country Club - Brookline, MA (I caddied here for a few years, played more than I worked).

2) Ballybunion - Ireland (old course) - my family lives 10 mins from the course.

3) Lahinch - Ireland.

4) Sankaty Head - Nantucket

 

That's about it... The rest of my golf is 35 dollar rounds at just boring courses.

I deeply regret turning two Oakmont invites down due to lack of funds and having to work. I am just lucky. No money.

[Sggolf]

Man, they are alot of fortunate golfers on here. Some of those lists are just a golfer's dream.

[GoStars]

If LACC barely cracks your top 20, you've been playing some damn fine golf.

[RipVan]

I just noticed I listed Merion twice, Why? I need to revise.

 

I really like Pinehurst 2. Flynn's Cascades, and dare I say....the East Course at Winged Foot where the greens are painful in a manner as the best can inflict deserved pain

 

There are three courses I must play before I die. Dornoch, Melbourne, and Oakmont.
