I'm going by the Golf Digest List of Top 100 Courses and Top 100 Courses You Can Play (since most of us have probably only been to the ones you can play). Here's a link to the lists in case you need reference.

Good Topic! I’m just a small town kid I guess. I only have only played three on the list of the top100 Public and none of the America’s top 100. I have though played Cabo Del Sol which always makes it on the top 100 in the world list, and the Eldorado in Cabo which is a Jack Nicklaus course which I believed was even better than Cabo Del Sol. I hope to add some more to this list this summer.


AMERICA’S TOP 100 PUBLIC
20. PAA-KO RIDGE G.C.
49. TWIN WARRIORS G.C. (This is not that great of a course, we have a couple of new courses in the area that are much better than this one, see Sandia Golf Club)
68. THE BROADMOOR G.C. (East)

None of the Top 100 Overall.

How'd you like Bulle Rock? I played it on a day with 25 mph winds so #11 played particularly difficult and on #12, I had to start my tee shot in the middle of the lake and let the wind blow it back to the green. Overall, I really enjoyed the course though.

Played there last year -- would've broke 90 from the blues (ended up with a 94), but #13 and #18 ate my lunch. Found the ravine on #13, found the lake on #18. Nothing like a pair of triples to ruin what could've been a really good day. But it was still a world-class experience.

I think that it could easily host a regular PGA tour event as it is now (about 7300 yds from the tips), and with a little tweaking, maybe (dare to dream) an Open?

I have never been to the USA but I have played nearly all of the Australian courses listed on golf Digest's 100 best courses outside of the USA.

2. Royal Melbourne G.C. (Composite) Black Rock, Australia
(never played the composite course but have played the East & West courses that make up the composite course plenty of times.
8. New South Wales G.C. Sydney, Australia
(have played here more than 50 times, it's probably my favourite course)
13. Kingston Heath G.C. Melbourne, Australia
32. Royal Adelaide G.C. Adelaide, Australia
35. The National G.C. (Moonah) Cape Schanck, Australia

(anyone complaining about Augusta being long this year should play Moonah and find out just what long is!)
66. Metropolitan G.C. Melbourne, Australia
68. The Lakes G.C. Sydney, Australia

(I play here a few times a year)

49. Barnbougle Dunes G. Links Bridport, Tasmania, Australia
(I haven't played here yet but I am booked in for a week in October)

The only one that I've played is Shinnecock Hills in Long Island. Ive played that course about 30 times. Used to work there. What a summer that was. Now that Im older I dont think I appreciated it as much back then as I do now. Awesome track.
