I recently played at Pumpkin Ridge which is close to my home, but it is probably the best course I have played, I am not a world traveler though, where are some of the best/favorite places to play?

I got lucky enough to play a little known private course near Wilmington, NC named Eagle Point . I've played the Cascades, a few of the the Pinehurst courses and a good share of the Southern Pines

Being from Wisconsin, I so want to play Milwaukee CC, but it's SUPER HARD to get on without knowing a member.
Just played Interlachen in Minneapolis last weekend and what an experience it was. Definitely in the same category as Riviera, Butler National, and Sherwood CC that I have played.

IMO, Pumpkin Ridge is good, but over rated. I think the Great Blue is tougher and just as good and usually better in the winter, (lol, but not by much). With that said, I guess it depends on what one thinks is BEST. For me, I don't care about the club house that much, (nice to have but not that important to me) or how green the couse is. I like courses that play tough, make you think and excute different types of shots, have roll out to the point that it can ruin a good drive, deep greenside bunkers, fairway bunkers is collectable positions on the fairways, in short ANYTHING but easy.

Of the private clubs I've played in the Portland/Vancouver area, Willamette Valley and Royal Oaks--I haven't played them all.

The best muni course I've played in the Portland/Vancouver area would be
Heron Lakes-tends to get soggy/muddy in the winter
Stone Creek-best winter course in the area
OGA
Camas Meadows-in Camas Wa and can be shabby in the winter and tends to be over priced in the summer.
Chehalam Glenn-little tricked up, but good.

Best muni courses I've played in Ore
Gearhart Links-Seaside
Ocean Dunes-Florence
Bandon Crossings-Bandon
Haven't played Bandon yet
Tetherow-Bend
Juniper-Bend
Indian Creek-Hood River
Skamania Lodge-Stevensen

I'm sure others could add more. The only place I've golfed other than Or/Wa is SLC Ut which reminds me much of Portland also with very good muni courses that are reasonablly priced.

Reading others posts, heck I'd just be giddy to drive in the parking lot of many of those mentioned.

http://golfgolden.com/ Best course i've played at. It's up in the mountain behind town. It's just beautiful. & it's bloody challenging. Two days in a row that 2nd hole just crushed my golfing soul. Can't wait to go back!

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
