That's a difficult question. I'm a lot older than you and have been fortunate enough to play many beautiful courses. My wife is from Colorado and there are lots of great courses there so I hope you get to play some of them. Here are the nicest I've played by State or Country:

NH - Hanover CC
VT - Woodstock Inn or Queechee
MA - Crumpin Fox or Shaker Hills
CT - Wintonbury Hills
NY - Wykagyl CC, Atunyote or Bethpage Black
NJ - Balleyowen
PA - Mountain Manor (it's the only one I've played there)
MD - Bulle Rock
VA - Golden Horseshoe or Royal New Kent (lots of other great courses in VA)
NC - Rivers Edge
SC - Caledonia or the Dunes
GA - Bear's Best
FL - World Woods, Bay Hill or Orange County National
AL - Cambrian Ridge (and just about all of the RTJ trail courses)
LA - Eastover
KY - Lassing Point
OH - Blue Ash
IL - Cog Hill #4
MI - Moose Ridge
WI - Troy Burne (but soon to be Whistling Straits)
MN - Stone Ridge
CO - The Broadmoor or Fossil Trace
TX - Cypresswood
AZ - The Boulders (South), Troon North, We-ko-Pa, Grayhawk (Raptor) or Dinosaur Mtn (so many nice ones there)
NV - Wolf Creek
UT -Coral Canyon
CA - Pasatiempo or Olympic Club
England - Sunningdale (Old) or Walton Heath (Old)
Scotland - Turnberry (Ailsa) or Western Gailes (This is the most under-rated course I've played
Canada - Lionhead

Played once in a scramble at Avila CC in Tampa, excellent course and excellent practice facility (like 6 immaculate chipping and pitching greens), ProV1 practice balls on the range, arranged in a pyramid of course --- was tempted to do a Tin Cup and sneak a few in the bag, but I didn't.

Best public course I've played is World Woods, Pine Barrens course. Looking to hit the course a few more times this summer at the twilight rates.

I played at the North River Club in Beaufort NC a few weeks ago. It is by far the nicest course I've ever played. It only opened about 7 months ago, so it's not as nice as it will be. I cannot wait to go back.

I am so poor and unfortunate to live in South Dakota, someone remind me again why I live here.... Is it the high wages?? uh nope. How about the great weather?? nope again, they just got over a foot of snow on the west end of the state. Ugh.

I've never played a "famous" course before, but the nicest course I've ever played is down in Omaha, NE (3 hrs south). Quarry Oaks is the name, immaculately groomed and a really fun layout.

http://www.quarryoaks.com/

I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Tampa, Fl and we played a round at Pebble Creek, it was nice and pretty cool to see the gators all over, but I liked Quarry Oaks better.

Keep the great courses coming boys and girls, I love reading about the fortunes of others.

I would have to say the Kingsmill River Course. Played there a week or so before the last PGA event was held there(now the "5th" major on the LPGA Tour). The course was in the best condition of any golf course I have ever played on. It gave me a new appreciation for what these guys on Tour can do. I don't even remember what I shot but it was pretty bad, but I didn't care at all. We basically had the course to ourselves because they limited rounds directly prior to the event.

Yeah, Trump National (LA) if that's the one you are tlaking about, is in pretty great condition.

The Paiute courses in Las Vegas are the other aesthetically nicest courses I've played. Immaculate condition, escpecially considering they are in the middle of the desert. I heard that because the courses are on Indian land (The Paiute Reservation) that they have no restrictions on water use. And believe me, they take advantage, as green as a course you'll see.

    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.
