Javs Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I would select St Andrew’s the Old Course. I went there on a buddies trip back when I turned 50. It was awesome and I loved the course and atmosphere. Our caddies were fun and entertaining. They actually were betting amount themselves on how we would do. Then they went drinking with us after the round. I shot 74 from the back tees and loved every minute! Julius, William P, BallsLeon and 6 others 8 1 Quote Play like a champion today!

I don't know any members, I'm not good enough to be on the PGA tour, and I'm to old to get in the Drive Chip and Putt option for kids. So, if I'm picking a course, I'm going big.

alfriday101 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Royal Dornoch. But with a proviso; provided that my friends were part of the equation. I think the whom would be more important than the where. I would rather play a round at my local club with friends than a solo round or round with strangers. But if the friends could go, we would be headed for Scotland. Some of the most fun rounds I've had were at Dornoch. There is something magical about the place. The last time I was there, we played 18 in the morning and the a 2 vs. 2 best shot in the afternoon. The beer shack on the course was closed, so one of the caddies called his girl friend who brought down 18 Tennants and we all, caddies included, finished them off. Thus, the Tennants Cup was born. Great golf and great fun. sirchunksalot, William P, DaveP043 and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been there a number of times, there is that mystery and feeling each time you walk through the gates.

John Bachman Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I’ve haven’t played any famous courses and very few elite ones. There are so many to choose from it would be difficult.

cnosil Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I guess the obvious choice is Augusta just due to the Masters and the exclusivity of playing the course. Simple reason just to say and be able to tell people I played Augusta. if it were to look at it from the perspective of what course would i pick if it was something that was accessible to most golfers I would pick St. Andrews. Just because of the history and being able to play golf where it started.

PrismFlopper Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Any of the courses in the villages. One of my fondest memories with my grandfather was playing with him, my dad and myself when I was young. I’d love to bring my dad and son there. I know not the most extravagant of course choices but for me it’s more of the importance of the memory. Cfhandyman, Javs, Michael.Sandoval33 and 1 other 4 Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total. Winter breaks and a 6month period when I got sick. Starting to feel like myself again and recently played a “okay” round. I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael.Sandoval33 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 There used to be this 9-hole par 3 course down in San Diego (in LA Mesa for any familiar). It was the only time in my life before the last month that I ever played golf. I was 16, hanging with my friends, not a care in the world. Just knocking balls down par 3's. Times change, the course and those friends are no longer around, but the memories of the first time I swung a golf club will be etched in my brain forever. Now, I hope to create plenty of new golf memories on different courses. None will ever match that old La Mesa 9.

Cfhandyman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If I had one last round to play, it would be easy to select any of the truly iconic courses in the world like, Augusta, Pebble Beach or St. Andrews, etc. Instead, I’m going to select a place, a little off the beaten path, Tara Iti in New Zealand. Breathtaking and gorgeous and another reason to travel down under and visit Australia and New Zealand.

ChuckZ Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Easy for me. Augusta National. It is Mecca for those of us play golf for the love of the game. Have been blessed to have played some of the greatest courses and this is high on my list. At the age of 77 and limited walking ability it would be very difficult for me, but playing that course would be a dream come true. Have walked it many times outside the ropes in the past. Would not care what I shot, but to walk those sacred grounds where the best of the best have played would bring tears. Have friends who have played there and they said it was unforgettable. "A loss of words". Bobby Jones had the right idea, when he selected Alister MacKenzie as the golf course architect for Augusta National Golf Club. Georgia on my mind.
