I've played the Cascades and Kingsmill.  I personally preferred Cascades over Kingsmill's River Course.  The Primland recommendation is really good as well.  I haven't played there, but I've heard great things.

I like the idea of a bucket list mine would have to be -Kiawah Island -Olympic Club -Pebble Beach -St. Andrews -Congressional(if they let me in) The only course I may actually play on here anytime soon would be Kiawah Island's Ocean course

If your coming back to FL there are a couple courses that have hit the top 100 lists I believe a few times. Its World Woods Golf club. 2 courses that both have made the list... I think you can play both for $70 depending on the time of year. they are about an hour to an hour and a half north of Tampa... I'm hoping to get out to them at some point in the next month.

I myself have had the pleasure of playing 4 rounds of golf in Ireland and I don't believe there is such a thing as a bad Links course.

I am heading to Hilton head for a delayed honeymoon in September and will be playing Harbor town and staying at the resort... I hope the play the other 2 courses while i'm there... I can't wait!

I also have an in law that works for the pga over in st Augustine, I have been promised a round on sawgrass, one day, I will make that happen.

Well, I recently moved out West and on the drive out I added another state/course to the list.  Wild Horse Golf Club in Nebraska.  It is currently the #1 course in NE, and #73 in the US (public access anyway).  I thought it was a nice course, and a little different than anything I've played in the past.  I'm certainly glad I stopped along the way, and if anyone is driving down I-80 in NE for any reason, it's worth the stop in Gothenburg (also take 10 minutes to or from the course to check out the Pony Express Station, it was kind of cool to see some history as well).

I would have shared a couple of the pictures I took, however my BB reset on me (it was my fault, I typed the password in wrong 3 times for some reason) and I lost them all.

I've only been playing a few months, so I'm not too educated on courses around the country. As far as my home state is concerned it would have to be Wolf Creek in Mesquite,NV and Shadow Creek here in town. Legends Golf Course in South Africa would be Awesome, I'd love to try the worlds longest par 3.

If you are looking for a course in Virginia, you absolutely cant go wrong with Primland. It was recently ranked in the top 20 public courses in the nation and in my opinion it puts The Homestead to shame. I've played at Primland multiple times and it has to be the best course I've ever stepped foot on.

Well, I knocked off Nevada a few weeks ago.  I played Wolf Creek in Mesquite, NV.  What a beautiful, but tough course.  It didn't help that I was horrible off the tee that day.  I definitely plan on playing it again to redeem myself (luckily it's only a 4-5 hour drive from my where I relocated to).  Mesquite seems like it would be a nice place to go on a weekend golf trip, without getting caught up in the craziness in Vegas (which is of course just about an hour away if you decided that's what you wanted to do).

Now that I'm living in Salt Lake City, I've also played several courses here in UT now.  I haven't had the chance to play the few that I'd really like to check out.  There is definitely an abundance of courses to choose from in the SLC area... and they are all priced very reasonably.

Now that I'm out West.... any suggestions on some must play courses out this way?

I haven't been golfing for too long but I know in Oregon there are some beautiful courses.  I went to this beautiful place that buds up against some woods outside of Portland.

Its lovely! Pumpkin Ridge should definitely be added to theses bucket lists.

I played Wolf Creek 3x & it doesn't get any easier ... it's a beautiful course in the middle of a desert - seems oddly out of place, but thats what makes it so good.     My only bucket list golf adventure would be to play in Scotland or Ireland one day ...

You just found out you have 12 months left on this earth - and you dont have time for tears.

You have and endless supply of dollar bills (which your wife/girlfriend quickly changes into $20's because she know what happens to dollar bills) and can play with ANYONE and ANYWHERE

Who are you playing with? (Can be ANYONE - celebrity, profesional golfer...ANYONE)

and

What course are you playing?

Lastly

Whats the bet?

My 12 months -

I want to play Augusta National and the St Andrews!

I want to play with

Tiger Woods - ill get some tips

His ex - ill get drama

George Lopez - Ill get jokes about Tiger his X and everything else

The Bet

If Tiger wins - he has to let me caddy for him in 3 events of my choice

If Tiger wins - George has to take me on tour

It Tiger wins - I will shoot the ex.s photo spread

If I win - well i couldn't even dream of winning - so it doesn't even matter

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
