My number one bucket list course would obviously be Augusta National, but since that's not a reasonable ask, the next would be the tournament course at TPC Sawgrass. 

I’ve played my 2 top bucket list courses 3 times each, Royal Melbourne West and Cape Wickham, so my next bucket list would have to be The Old Course. I’ve walked around it( on a Sunday) and raked a bunker. My daughter is spending 6 months in Scotland this year and I’m planning a Europe trip so might be a chance.

My next bucket course, McLemore on Lookout Mt, TN

This is a new one to my list, but is currently number 2 on my list!

Playing my #1 in June at Bandon Dunes. Sand Valley is a very close 2nd and will definitely be taking you up on that offer, @Jnoble89!

It is a group trip and some of the group are traveling in from Europe. So 2026 gives us enough time to coordinate schedules and what not. 

Because we have an actual plan in place to play this one, I’m going with Old MacDonald at Bandon Dunes

I don’t want to lose any time getting there, but 2026 is going to be a special year 😁

Thanks man - we played 36 that day and 13 in the afternoon was def a highlight. 

Plan is early April 2025 - it will just be my wife and I so I’m hoping to jump on as a solo, although I’ll go through the lotteries for a guaranteed time.  

Goal is to also play Muirfield and North Berwick (along with Royal Dornoch) - can’t wait!

Great courses listed so far! To echo what @IndyBonzo said, I’m shocked to be the first to list Pebble Beach! 
if I was given a second choice I’d go east coast with Tobacco Road in NC!

I'll extend the same invite! If you make it to SV let me know so I can join and we will finish the evening with cocktails and a boat cruise! 

When will you be at The Old Course?
I would love to play Royal Dornoch, but it’s not in the cards on this year’s trip; however, I do get to play a few other courses on my “bucket list”, including Carnoustie and North Berwick.

How in the Wide World of Sports can I be the first to post this pic?  I am so impressed with my speed . . .

 

Love your choice Jamie!
Mine is a bit closer to home, but I will probably never have the opportunity to step foot on it (Cypress)...

I'm going to knock off two more courses next year on my trip to Scotland (Old Course & Royal Dornoch) - 

Mine bucket list would be-
1. Augusta
2. St Andrews
3. Pebble Beach
4. Muirfield
5. Latrobe CC

I am playing that course (hint: it’s the “home of golf”) in just a bit more than four months.

It’s Shinnecock Hills.  
I’d compromise and play Maidstone, Fishers Island, National Golf Links or Friar’s head though 🙂
 

Was gonna say Bandon .. with #2 = Sand Valley & Mammoth Dunes .. but .. I think @vandyland and @Jnoble89 might've just flip flopped my picks!! 👍
 
Oh PS: most likely will be joining that Midwest July outing to Wild Horse, NE

@vandyland as someone who has been on-site at SV (have only played the Par 3 course, sadly), You are 100% correct. Once you enter the property you feel like you're transported to a different area of country. It is NOT at all what Wisconsin geographically is anywhere else in the state. Truly a special place.
...if you make the trek to play it someday, let me know! My in-laws have a lake house 10 minutes away! Would gladly join you and take you on a cruise on the lake afterward!

#1 for me right now probably has to be Old Head of Kinsale in County Cork, Ireland. We were able to visit the clubhouse and eat lunch there on a 2022 trip with my family. Unfortunately didn't get a chance to tee it up there, but I hope to in the next few years!

Mammoth Dunes, great condition and wide and totally unlike what I encounter in middle TN. Bandon seems like a spiritual place but Sand Valley/Mammoth seems to embody some of that while (seemingly) being more playable and less exposed to the elements….
 

Not even going to say where or what the course is. If you know. You know!
