I think about going back there at

least once a month. It's so dramatic, and out there, it's just you, the course (and the hotel) and the landscape.

Both were quite nice. Expensive, but as long as you've got a friend who's a member, it's all worthwhile. :) The water hazards at RSF intimidate me.

I forgot, played Encinitas Ranch - that place is pretty nice. I didn't live in SD long enough to seriously get into golf, I was living in the bay area when I seriously got into golf. My parents live in SD so I bring my clubs with me every time I go, so I'm doing the laps around SD as much as I can. A family friend just got a membership at Crosby in RSF so I am going to bring him a bottle of wine next time I fly down :) :) :)

shotcalla I've herad that Cabo del Soul is absolutely fantastic

**immts007** · April 25, 2008

Saticoy CC

My grandparents were members there for 25 years... I used to go there for holiday parties when I was a kid. Fourth of July, etc...

When I think of all the times my Grandma asked me if I wanted to learn to play and take lessons it makes me want to cry. I had absolutely no interest

**Ben** · April 25, 2008

Saticoy is a great, fantastic golf course. Of the members at my course that really know the game and golf in SoCal, it falls in mosts top 3 courses. People call it Little Riv (Riveira CC). You definitely missed out, but, you know that.

**twotacosfor99cents** · April 25, 2008

I'll give this a try...

Ben,

What did you think of Rancho Park? Also, are there any other decent courses around West LA or the Miracle Mile area? I'm there frequently, and Rancho Park is the only 18 hole course around that area (i think). It's also SLOOOOOW.

**AmenCorner** · April 25, 2008

I think about going back there at

and a bunch of condos from what I hear now.

NC - Bentwinds, Lochmere, Prestonwood, The Crossings

CT - Manchester Country Club, Glastonbury Hills, Minnechaug, Simsbury Farms, East Hartford, Cedar Knob,
Twin Hills, Keney, Rockledge, Tunxis, Ellington Ridge, Tallwood, Blackledge (both 18s), TPC River Highlands

NH - Newport Golf Club, The Shattuck,

FL - TPC Sawgrass - Stadium & Valley

What I can remember and I know I left some out

**erova** · April 25, 2008

no way could i remember all the tracks i've played.

30 states down, 20 to go.

home course is PB Dye Golf Club, Golf Digest's 26th hardest course in the US (in their opinion, not mine).

playing two of the Greenbrier courses tomorrow, and the Cascades course at the Homestead on Sunday.

the link to my flickr page in my signature has some shots from some pretty decent public tracks.

**sonicblue** · April 25, 2008

Only real noteworthy ones:
Torrey Pines North and South
Spanish Bay
Hiddenbrooke
TPC at Jasna Polana (boy did I tear that place up - literally)

Thought I had an in for Pine Valley this year, but it looks like it's fallen apart :(

**Ben** · April 25, 2008

Ben,

As you can see from my post, I've played a bunch of courses, and Rancho Park, believe it or not, is VERY high on my list of favorites, probably in my top 5 actually. Except of course, the tremendously slow play. For $22 to walk it is one great challenge of a course, definitely not a push-over. And that's how I like my courses. Plus all the great history that surrounds the course, once hosting the LA Open, and the Arnold Palmer plaque on the par-5 18th commemorating his 13 there. Its been a while since I played there, but the only time I would go would be around 9 or 10 on a Monday, somewhat smooth playing.

In the area, I think you are stuck with Rancho if you want 18 holes. Everything else around there is high-dollar private. LA CC, Wilshire CC, Hillcrest CC, Bel-Air CC, The Riviera CC, Brentwood CC. Just no room for a public golf course in that part of town. You are best off making a day treck to Ventura County.

Oggiss · April 25, 2008

Oh damn, I have played over 50 courses here in Sweden. I am gonna try to list them tomorrov morning ;) Also played some in Portugal, France and Thailand.
