I obviously need to travel a little bit more! I can't expand the list as much, but below are some of my favorites.

Bethpage Black - so challenging and the whole experience is awesome. Sleeping in the parking lot and getting up at 5 AM to go play is great. 50 bucks for a NYS resident when i played.

Oak Hill East - Grew up caddying here. Got to play every Monday.

Wailea Gold Course - Maui - Unbelievable scenery with an above average course

My Bucket List: TPC Sawgrass, St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, Oakmont

[wingedfoot97]

Ocean Forest
Harding Park

[78Staff]

Nothing to brag about, but in terms of recognition, it would probably work out as....

TPC Sawgrass
Hilton Head
Bay Hill
Black Diamond
Reunion

But in reality, In terms of pure enjoyment, but not particularly famous or well known...

Sawgrass CC, Ponte Vedra
Oyster Bay, Myrtle Beach, SC
Pelican Point, TAFB, Panama City, FL
Marsh Creek, St. Augustine
Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, Ga.

Biggest missed opportunity... In Portsmouth, England for a week and never ventured near a golf course (back in my US Navy days - golf was not a priority then, unfortunately).

I played it about 6 or 7 years ago. I have been fortunate enought to play it a half dozen times or so. It is very much a hidden jewel. The layout is great and it is manicured to perfection everytime I have been on it. Very smooth course.

Oh yes, a lovely course - on a par 3 they built the green into the steep face of a cliff. So they had to work with a lot of dynamite to blow out a platform to create a green. They say that the costs for this green was equal to the other 17 green together.....
