How Many Courses Have You Played?


Recommended Posts

I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).

I know I've posted in this thread before, but since it came up again in my "recents" I figured I'd take a look at my current numbers.  I'm up to 308 courses now, and will add at least 4 more this year, two of them next weekend in OH.

Yes, time for an update.  I added five courses this year bringing my total to 444 in 32 states and 16 countries. 

 

I also try to track courses I have played that have hosted these events:

I have played 210 courses.  Maybe more, depending how you count them.  Some destinations have more than one course for the same club house.  Courses that have 27 holes, I've counted as 1 course; But some  have distinct courses.  For example I recently went on a golf trip to Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama.  We played 3 VERY different  courses even though they shared a common clubhouse.

I was inspired to make a spreadsheet. I'm up to 70 by my best recollection. I might have missed a few courses, but it's definitely in the single digits. I've only ever played golf in the US, and in 10 different states.

Probably around 80 courses. I did a rough count and came up with like 74. I am probably missing a few here or there.

I just hit 425 and finally played golf in New York (26th state), at Sleepy Hollow Country Club (Hole 16), which was fantastic.

My best guess is under 100 so I need to get out more. Still trying to play all that Wisconsin has to offer and there are a lot of great ones here. Checked Blackwolf Run off the list this year and Sedge Valley. Blackwolf Run is brutal. I have to get to Sentry World and The Lido yet around here at the top of the local list. So many places all over the country and world I would love to go to though.  Will have to pick a top ten maybe at some point and try and get to them.

I played a hole that looked just like that at Full Cry at Keswick Hall, down near Charlottesville.  Its a Pete Dye design, but clearly this hole imitates the work of some older architects.  Golf Club Atlas suggests there's something of Langford and Moreau in the wrap-around bunker.

After my Ohio trip, and a recent visit to the Gettysburg area, I'm up to 321 courses, with at least one additional planned for October.  A long way behind @jsgolfer, but still a lot of fun places.

I believe that this a Seth Raynor design feature, but I’m sure this is something that has been done before. It was a fun course to play. This is 18, awesome hole.IMG_1444.thumb.jpeg.cec03dd2f51a42aa9f06a6dc30a74eaa.jpeg

I'm not real familiar with Raynor, so I looked at the Golf Club Atlas article.  It was interesting to see Dye essentially copy an "old" design, but I imagine that almost all current designs are based at least partly on the work that has come before.

Four years ago, I created a spreadsheet. My count currently stands at 283. At the rate I am adding new courses (about 3-4 a year), I am not venturing out to new venues often enough. Sadly, 21 of the courses no longer exist.

Wow it's really awesome to see how many courses you all have played. I am jealous!
I've only played 7 courses.
