best golf courses played

[watrboy4]

hehe I played EagleGlen in the summer when the salmon had already spawned and were basically floating down the river that runs through the course...definitely something i've never seen before or since, but definitely a great time...coulda sworn I was going to pop up a tee shot and clang it off an F-16 when those were coming in...

Sweet....We used to play it 5 to 6 times a week. Yeah isnt that amazing. Some big fish. Ship creek......is the name of the stream through the course. Did you get a shake when the fighters started taking off?? Not a bad course for being under snow for 9 months eh.....lol Thanks for replying always cool to talk to someone that played at a course I played on..

I am going to play at Salem Glenn in NC tomorrow. It is an Arnold Palmer course. I didn't think I would get to play it anytime soon, but a buddy of mine gets to play for free... so that includes me. I'll post how it was afterwards. I am pretty excited.

I have played Highland Links here in Nova Scotia, it is about 2 hours from my house and we would play every weekend. It was ranked the #1 public course in Canada a few years ago.

For me, my best course played was "Tour 18". Its a place here in Dallas that has 18 replica holes. Its very well maintained and beautiful. Problem is it was Feb and was in upper 30s and like 30mph winds that day. Im gonna go back this spring/summer for sure.

Has some really cool ones like Winged Foot, Sawgrass, Augusta National, etc...

Best courses I've ever played are:

Hawk Pointe (private club near my house in New Jersey) and The Architecs which is public, but real expensive, also near my house. The Architecs has each hole modeled after another hole on a very famous course.

Nice to see Oak Tree and Southern Hills getting a little love (Oklahoma courses). We have a few great courses but we have some total goat ranches too!

Hope Island, Gold Coast, Queensland, AUSTRALIA! Not a premium premium course but awesome just the same!

[RackleyGolf]

I've been blessed to play some GREAT courses (mind you...I also used to work at Golf Magazine, which doesn't hurt you...). Here's my list...don't get angry with me:

Pine Valley, Merion, Winged Foot (West & East), Baltusrol (Lower & Upper), Pinehurst #2, #7 & #8, Ballybunion (Ireland), Lahinch (Ireland), Waterville (Ireland)

Old Works. Consistantly rated in Golf Digest's top 100 public courses. Jack Nicklaus design. It's built over an old coal mine and the bunkers are filled with black slag sand. Some of the bunker walls are made from old brick mine buildings.

Check out this website and read the story of how they built it. He used "super fund" project inteaded to clean up the old mine and built a golf course over it. Ingenius!!!

The Quarry at Giants Ridge: It is currently ranked #19 on Golf Digests top 100 public courses.

[MauditeGolf]

I'm a little partial to the Myrtle Beach area, of course, but my all time fav is River's Edge.

Check out www.river18.com to see why. This is Arnold Palmer's newest course in Myrtle Beach. The #9 Par 5 is the most discussed hole of any in Myrtle.

The best course I've ever palyed is definently Spanish Bay in Monterey, its right next to Pebble and SpyGlass, and I think more on the ocean than both of them. I loved it.

[Free Ballin]

I have played all over South Carolina and the best course that I have ever played would be Rivertowne in Charleston. It is a awesome course. Bobby Ginn sure knows how to put together a nice golf experience.

Hey Free--I definitely want to make it out there. What did you like about it more than some of the other big-name SC courses (Kiawah's courses, Harbourtown, Myrtle, etc.)?

Previously I have listed my favourite course as Turnberry however played in Ireland this year and have a revised opinion :

Old Head the most spectacular course on earth I would wager

Waterville an almost spiritual golfing experience

Ballybunnion 12 of the best links holes anywhere

but this last weekend played Ballyliffin which was good and Royal Portrush that was simply breathtaking in it's magnificence.

Two of us agreed Portrush was better than Turnberry so I have a new number 1.

I have not played any courses outside of Colorado ( I shoudl have played Kapalua when I went to Hawaii, I am kicking myself ). But as far as Colorado goes I will list my favorite courses in Order.

1.) Redlands Mesa, Grand Junction
2.) Lakota Canyon, Newcastle
3.) The Raven, Silverthorne
4.) Devils Thumb, Delta
5.) Bear Dance, Larkspur
6.) The Ridge at Castle Pines, Castle Rock

After that they are all interchangable. If you are ever planning a Colorado Golf trip I suggest you keep the Western Slope in mind ( that would put you in the vacinity of #1,#2 and #4 ) Unbelievable scenic courses and pretty challanging.

My dad played at Glen Abbey GC.

Can I count that as my best one that I have (not) played? But I want to.
