Not sure why St. Andrews made the list.  I included my favorite.

Not every course on Earth conforms to textbook design, but some succeed brilliantly in spite of it. Here’s a sampling of our favorite awesomely zany courses.

North Berwick (West Links), North Berwick, Scotland

Bewilderment eventually leads to enchantment at North Berwick, the quirkiest of all the great courses. Home to the legendary “Redan” hole, the par-3 15th, this 136-year-old antique also serves up “Pit,” the par-4 13th which features a low stone wall in front of the green, “Gate,” the par-4 16th with its bizarre double-plateau green and a short par-4 18th where even a casual push could shatter car windows.

One of my top 20 favorite courses. Shot 74 on a day when the SSS was 81. :) That probably helps a little… :D

I'm not sure how Tobacco Road is not on the list - it is the most unusual course I've played. With a stove pipe as the fairway marker on one blind drive, split fairways, blind shots and lots of rolling hills and elevation changes for a flat piece of real estate.

It is a unique and fun place to play; however it is not for everyone. One of the guys I play with says that all it is lacking is a clowns mouth and windmill to hit through.

Players play, tough players win!

I'm with your buddy, The clown mouth and windmills were definitely missing from that course. :-P

Yeah link is busted. I've seen some pretty odd holes here so nothing would surprise me.
