jimmcman Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) This list is ever changing, and I feel certain that it will change again in September when I travel to Ireland to play. As things stand today however, my list is as follows: 1) Quaker Ridge Scarsdale, NY 2) Maidstone East Hampton, NY 3) Baltusrol (lower) Springfield, NY 3) Pinehurst #2 Pinehurst, NC 5) Torrey Pines (south) La Jolla, CA 6) Mid Pines Pinehurst, NC 7) Ocean Course Kiawah Island, SC 8 Deepdale Manhassett, NY 9) Harbor Town Hilton head, SC 10) Firestone (south) Akron, OH I have said that if you told me I could only play a single course for the rest of my days, I would choose Quaker Ridge.

GoldenEagle92 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It's so cool to see all of the courses people have played. I'm jealous of your lists! As of August 2023, here's my 10 favorites, in no particular order of rank: Whistling Straits - Straits Course Whistling Straits - Irish Course Erin Hills St. Andrews - Old Course Royal Dornoch - Championship Course Ko'Olau Golf Club (now closed) Blackwolf Run - River Course Sea Island - Seaside Course Fairmont St. Andrews - Torrance Course St. Andrews - Duke's Course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMDubya Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I haven’t gotten to play a wide arrange of courses. Played a few good ones. Probably can’t come up with 10, but I’ll try. In no particular order. Valhalla, Victoria Natl, Crooked Stick, Kiva Dunes, Pete Dye @ French Lick, Donald Ross @ French Lick, The UClub of Kentucky, Old Stone, Stonehenge, Indian Hills CC, pretty much wrap it up. I’m sure I’ve missed one or two, along the RTJ trail, but all these come to mind.

I had a difficult time leaving the Meadow Valleys Course in Kohler off the list, it's a lot of fun too. The Bog is a great choice. We are so lucky to have so many great courses in the state. And still a lot to get to for me, like SentryWorld and the courses at Sand Valley. I'm playing The Club at Lac La Belle on Monday, maybe that will make a push into my top 10, I've heard great things. trike11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
