I don't really have 5 that jump out at me right now but I have two.

1. Harbour Town Golf Links - July 2011
2. Bethpage - May 2009 it was set up for the U.S. Open.

Friends of ours are celebrating their 10th next and want to go to California and it appears that Pebble Beach and Spyglass will be on the list. This winter I plan on TPC Sawgrass Stadium. Friend has connections to get me on Doral.

[TheDoubleJ]

St Andrews Old Course
Prestwick Old Course
Muirfield
Gleneagles Kings
Royal Troon
Turnberry

I am very lucky, but once played , they need playing again.

I managed another round on the Old course but still never enough!!!

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

Given the chance would love to play Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and Whistling Straights

PV that low?

[tcantine]

Yeah, the course felt choppy, it felt as though 6 designers got together and designed the course, there is no centralized theme. Of course this is my opinion and it is in the minority, but I have to be honest

[GooseHook]

Man, this is going a whole lot better than the "we are elite" thread

Just turned 25, lots of trips still to take, but golfing in MD I'd have to say that Bulle Rock and Greystone are the best I've played. Good buddy of mine is getting me out at Congressional in the near future though!

Yes, I really like Augusta National. Has to be seen to be believed. Even better to play on it. I was invited to play there through my work. Had to miss out on delivering a presentation to the Board of Directors, but they all said they understood (once in a lifetime opportunity).

[tcantine]

Hey goose, where in md are you, I used to live in Bethesda...lots of great courses around there.

I think the real question is Elk River that high? To me that's always felt like the two 9's were completely different golf courses. I'm not sure it's better than the 4th best course in Avery County.

[FSCMatt]

I'm not old enough to have an outstanding list like most people here, but I think mine is pretty good all things considered.

The Dunes Club
Butler National
The Gailes
The Pointe o' Woods
Kampen Course at Purdue

[Ray Jackson]

In no order......

Pebble Beach
Spyglass Hill
Mayacama
Atlanta Athletic Club
Pronghorn-Nicklaus course

[Potatohead]

Man, so envious of most of you guys here, I am pretty small time

Pumpkin Ridge - Ghost Creek (This is the best conditioned course I have ever seen in person)
PGA West - Stadium
Predator Ridge - Predator (Vernon, BC)
Doral - Blue
Nicklaus North (Whistler BC)
Torrey Pines - North
Turtle Bay - Palmer
Sandpines (Florence, OR)

The two in BC have both hosted the Canadian Skins Game, I went to the one at NN which was Nicklaus, Faldo, Norman and Couples.
