I was going through some of my Google Keep notes and came across my 'Top 10' courses played list so I wanted to share it and discuss!

 

  1. Pebble Beach
  2. Kapalua Plantation Course
  3. Desert Forest Golf Club
  4. Manele Golf Club
  5. Spyglass Hill Golf Course
  6. Sand Hollow Championship Course
  7. Waialae Country Club
  8. Edgewood Tahoe
  9. The Ocean Course at Hokuala
  10. Wolf Creek Golf Club

I've been fortunate enough to have been stationed in areas that are golf friendly and I've taken full advantage for the most part. Now that I've posted mine, I'd like to see everyone else's 'Top 10'!

 

This is one hell of a list, awesome! I clearly need to travel more! 🙂

 

Mine isn't quite as pretty but I'd say mine would be:

1. The Ocean Course at Kiawah

2. Wolf Creek - Mesquite

3. Dorado Beach - Puerto Rico

4. Coyote Springs

5. Links at Wild Dunes

6. Castle Pines

7. Ozarks National

8. Old Corkscrew

9. Ledges St. George

10. Colbert Hills

I didn’t really think about all the cool courses I’ve played until this post! I think the best part is that the list I want to play continues to keep growing. I wanted to mix in some TPCs, but they didn’t have the memories like the courses listed below:

1. Pebble Beach

2. Springfield Village Golf Course

3. Incline Village

4. Spyglass 

5. Wolf Creek

6. Spanish Bay

7. Tobacco Road

8. Edgewood

9. Warren

10. Royal Tangier Golf Club
