Wow, so many people played courses on my bucket list. I haven't played that many good courses, but here were the most notable ones for me, in no particular order:

1. The Gallery, Dove Mountain, Marana AZ
2. Anglebrook Golf Club, Lincolndale, NY - I 3-putted practically every green on this ridiculous course, and the day before i played some 20 yr old from canada shot a 67 on the same greens at the US Open Amateur Qualifying tournament. they are fast and slopey, and i obviously cannot putt for my life.
3. Sandpiper Golf Club, Santa Barbara, CA - played here before my bro's wedding. There is a par 3, downhill into the ocean and it's really nice.

Here's the 171 yd par 3 into the ocean. really great view

After playing Forest Creek in Pinehurst this summer, I can't put together a list anymore. It tops all of the few good courses I've played by a long margin.
[/quote]

Played both of the Forest Creek courses last year, and I couldn't agree more, it was a great course.

My 5 would be:
Old Course
Kingsbarns (Scotland)
Forest Creek, Pinehurst NC (both courses are great)
Pinehurst #4
Glen Kernan Country Club, Jacksonville FL
