I would have to say the course I play most because of the length. 8.1k from the tips. I don't play from them. the course itself is easy in theory mostly straight but there are a lot of different hills from tee to green. so you don't always have a flat lie. the course moves mostly counter clock wise so if you are a right hander then there are mostly pull lies.

3. Spyglass Hill (Monterey, CA)
4. Kapalua - Plantation Course (Maui, Hawaii)
5. Entrada at Snow Canyon (St. George, Utah)

I learned my lesson about difficult courses, no more. I want to be able to shoot at least 90 when I play. I played the Tennessean near Paris, Tennessee, and it was awful. I quit keeping score, horrible. Green side bunkers 6 feet below the green, sloped fairways on both sides, and putting greens that you putt past the hole and let it come back, so you can get close. I have not played it since then. Now that I have a better game going, I might give it another try, but then again, maybe not. I will play a difficult course if it has great scenery, and a few fair holes. I stay away from long courses.

Pebble Beach with a 35 mph wind

If you did that recently, I was on Spanish Bay the same day and did real well for the 8 holes I could stay out there.

What is the offical ruling if the wind blows your ball off of the green and 40 yards downhill?

Probably Huntingdon Valley - C9 Course. Philadelphia Cricket Club Militia Hill Course is a close second, though.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
