Peanut05 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I would much rather play golf on the beach, however I've played a couple different courses in the mountains and they were a blast too. If I'm looking for a place to live, however, that's a different story. Give me the mountains every time.

True, got to play there once though. Most likely the only time ever How about this one then? or this one...... Would rather be at the beach than anywhere else, maybe that's the California in me?

Being a Cali boy myself its's hard to beat the beach. Have played many mountain courses and most of them have some tricked up holes where they ran out of room during design. Saddle Creek may be my favorite mountain one.

txgolfjunkie Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Despite the mountain golf boosting my ego with the ball traveling a lot further than at sea level, I'd have to go with the beach for pure bliss. I've played some magnificent courses in the Canadian Rockies and in Utah but nothing compares to the beach side courses in places like Cabo where if you hit it slightly offline, you could hit someone on the beach. The one thing I don't like about mountain courses is how the greens aren't always true and everything breaks to a certain point... Even if you swear it breaks a different direction.
