Aside from those courses here is my list in no particular order:

2. Fairmont Banff Springs (just ridiculous scenery)
3. Bethpage Black ( i played bethpage when i was at my best. I was a 5.6 index at the time, shot 86 and was STOKED
4 The Dunes/Tidewater/Calendonia- Myrtle Beach

Riviera....one of the greatest designed golf courses in the world. I had the pleasure of playing there many times when I was working as a pro in the LA area. Every shot makes you think and play it how it is supposed to be played.

I bet people trying out for the team were thinking more about the courses than the team, ha ha.

That is a murder's row of super exclusive clubs. No playing around with the dress code there.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Mystic Rock at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort is probably the nicest I played. I think it was around $185 for 18?

Kauri Cliffs back in my home country, the most beautiful course I have ever seen

Now that I am back from Scottsdale, I would have to change my list.

Top 5:
#1: The Coeur d'Alene Resort (home of the floating green, Idaho)
#2: Spanish Bay
#3: Circling Raven (Idaho)
#4: Dinosaur Mountain (Scottsdale)
#5: Troon North & Grayhawk (Scottsdale)

In my r7 bag:

Driver:r7 460
3 wood:r7
hybrid:burnerirons:320 serieswedges:TP Rac Z 56*, 60*putter:Circa 62 #3balls:prov1x


Here are the well known courses I've played, some more "well known" than others:

English Turn
Redstone
Harbour Town
Pebble Beach
Spy Glass
Pasatiempo
Spanish Bay
LaCantera
Poppy Hills
Corde Valle

Most of those fall into "best" that I have played. I think one of my favorites that is not well known is Waterwood National outside of Huntsville, Texas. Its a Pete Dye course that used to be in great shape. I think its either closed down or run down now.

Next trips are Pinehurst, Bandon Dunes, and Scotland-Ireland. After that I will have my bucket list completed.....except for the ones I want to play but will never be able too.

The most well known course ive played on is The Majlis in Dubai home of the dubai desert classic. When i was in the Navy we made a port visit in dubai and the USO made a deal for some of us to play on the course for $300, which included Ping clubs, caddie, breakfast, lunch and all the necessities.

I was simply amazed on how that course was manicured perfectly in the middle of a desert.

Baltusrol in Springfield, NJ...Lower Course last week. incredible.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Cobra Bio+ 9* Matrix White Tie X  - Taylormade SLDR 15* ATTAS 80X - Titleist 910H 19* ATTAS 100X - Taylormade '13 TP MC 4-PW PX 6.5 - Vokey TVD M 50* DG TI X100 - Vokey SM4 55 / Vokey SM5 60* DG TI S400 - Piretti Potenza II 365g


My favorite three are in my home state of NJ. Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach makes my list too

1. Plainfield Country Club
2. Baltusrol (was lucky to have it in our high school rotation)
3. Galloway National
4. Grande Dunes (Myrtle Beach)
