Blueberry_Squishie Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I really want to play Cape Wickham Golf Links which is on King Island between Tasmania and the Australian mainland. It's an exquisite looking links course on an island that is such a unique place (being in the middle of Bass Strait). Head west and the next land you hit is Argentina, look east and the next land is New Zealand. Best of all, it's public access where you can very easily get a tee time. Combine the beautiful golf course with such stunning scenery, and there's also a highly-renowned cheese making industry on the island. It's such a diverse trip away. Best part for me is that it's less than a 1 hour flight to get there.

I was supposed to play this course later this fall, but unsure now. Only way I'll play it would be with customers as I'm not fronting the bill. Same with Pebble. I missed out on going to a full pebble beach week with a customer last year where they played Pebble, Spyglass, Spanish Bay, and Del Monte. Maybe next year I can be apart of that one. I was able to play Bandon Dune and Pacific Dunes last year and that was a phenomenal place. The courses and staff/caddies were some of the best I've encountered and the lodging was top notch and exactly what we were looking for. Augusta would be top for me, but realistic would be Pebble. My list is long, but I do feel as though I'll be able to play many of them through the years. I've always wanted to start tackling the Top 100 courses. I hope to be able to get 25 by the time I'm 50. I believe I've played 5 thus far of top 100 so still a ways to go. eschultz406 1 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment

SteddyGolf Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Augusta is such a pie in the sky opportunity that is just never going to be accessible to us mere mortals.

alfriday101 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The Sheep Ranch at Bandon Dunes. I have played the other Bandon courses. Two thumbs up, way up. Early reviews say The Sheep Ranch may be the best course yet. In General, I enjoy Coore and Crenshaw courses. I would love to try their sea side course.

skyryder Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've been very, very fortunate to play a few of the courses (very few) mentioned hear, but for me it would be Augusta as well. I'd prefer not when it is set up for the tourney. I am sure I don't have the game to enjoy the round playing the same way those guys play it. Bandon Dunes looks amazing and its cool to hear the staff is great! If all goes close to plan, a few of the RTJ courses in Alabama will be scratched off the list this spring. I have to say that playing St. Andrews was a very cool event, even if my caddy was drunk the entire round. I really wanted to wrap my 5 wood around his neck on 17, but it did make the round memorable.......if not in a good way. RollingGreens 1 Quote Link to comment

DaveP043 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've been lucky enough to play a bunch of "bucket list" courses, more than once for a few of them, but I still have more on my wish list. Unrealistic would be Augusta or Pine Valley. Extremely long odds would be some of the amazing-looking courses in New Zealand like Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers. Attainable would be Muirfield, Royal Aberdeen, Royal County Down. Top of my list of places I want to get back to is Royal Dornoch, my favorite course of all 275 or so that I've ever played.

wolfpacker92 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 As many have stated here, Augusta would top my list. Since that is not realistically attainable I'd say two from my home state, Pinehurst #2 and Quail Hollow would be at the top.
