Here's mine

 

1. Augusta

 

2. St. Andrews

 

3. Chambers Bay

 

4. Pebble Beach

Just to name a few. I'd like to play them all, like every single course in the world.

I'd like to play all the courses mentioned. I think on top of my list may be Coeur D'Alene, with the floating par 3 green. For those that haven't heard of it, it's in Idaho.

 

Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Played it several times.. It is great..I have not parred the floating green yet... for a great weekend of golf the whole Spokane/Coeur D'Alene area is great.. Circling Raven at the other end of the lake is great also.. Spokane city courses are great fun and great priced... 

 

Worth a trip..

Of the ones I won't ever get to play:

Augusta

Pine Valley

Crystal Downs (I did play once, as a teenager, but I didn't realize it was so special then)

 

Of the ones I just might get a chance to play:

Streamsong

Royal County Down

Cruden Bay

Pebble Beach

Prestwick

Bandon (unlikely, because its about the same time and money commitment to go to Scotland from the East Coast here)
