I've played River Cut and will agree that it's one of the best Munis I've played (at least among the ones that don't host Majors).  Chambers Bay is a little bit of a stretch as a Muni--it's basically a marketing campaign, as they built a "city" course specifically to host USGA Championships, and it has caddies.

No one has mentioned Memorial Park in Houston.  Great course, and truly a "city" course.  It's in the middle of a very large city park, has hosted numerous pro events (and still hosts big amateur tournaments).  The tennis complex in the park also hosts a pro tournament.

Portland, OR has a couple of great munis: Eastmoreland, an H. Chandler Egan design. Old style Parkland course. Hosted the Publinx back in 1990. Heron Lakes is a 36 hole RTJ II layout. Very different 18s.

Another vote for Bethpage. You've got it all here. 5 courses of all abilities. I play there at least once a week. Love it.

In the Palm Beach area, I really like Okeeheelee Park. Amazing greens for a muni!

Locally there are two for me... SilverRock Resort in La Quinta (former home of the Bob Hope Classic) and Desert Willow (which has 2 great 18 hole courses).

Have played two of those in the last year.

Hulman Links in Indiana was in terrible shape. I think the combination of two hot, dry summers and an under funded small-town maintenance budget took a big toll.  I'd definately play it again for the $20ish they charge but would be a stretch for it to make any best in state lists in its current condition.

Played Superior National in Minnesota last fall.  The views of the fall colors in the national forest and the views of Lake Superior were awesome.  Course was also in great shape.  Won't say it is a great design but it was an absolute pleasure to play. Only real complaint is that the lay out is almost impossible to walk and the cart does take away from the northwoods experience.

If my work travels will allow hope to play either Landsmeer in Iowa or Glacier Wood in WI this summer. Good muni golf in small communities is something I seek out every chance I get.  The atmosphere just suits me.

San Antonio has some great muni courses. Brackenridge is where Souchak broke the scoring record - and site of the Texas Open for many years.  Cedar Creek, another very good course. There are so many to list, but SA was one of my favorite places to live not only because of the culture, pretty women, Spurs, but because of the great golf there.

Sorry, but that list is completely wrong.  Denver's city park is flat boring course.  If you really want a good muni course in Colorado, there are tons of courses owned and operated by city of Aurora (Saddleback, Murphy Creek), city of Golden (Fossil Trace) and Lakewood (Fox Hollow) that have fantastic views and layouts.

Haven't played it since the 1980s, but Kickingbird Golf Course in Edmond, OK, was superb. Several tough holes, but most had a safety-valve area in case you wanted to play for bogie.

At the time, it was in better shape than some of the country clubs in the OKC area.

    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
    • A bit old.. but this rule is kind of unfair ...  Lets say that you have Emiliano Grillo and Darren Clark playing together on a PGA event and on one hole both hit the ball to the middle of the fairway only 1 inch apart. When they arrive to the ball Darren take his stand and water comes out from the ground and remains there so he procceds take a free drop on a dry area and hit his shot.  Afterwards Grillo takes his stance in the same spot as Clark, but because he is a lot ligther, no water araise from the ground. According to the rules he is not allowed a free drop from the same spot darren had a free drop seconds before. I would love to see this happenning live on TV. Can an argument be made by grillo? could and official use the "spirit of the rule" to let him have a free drop?     
    • Day 84 (24 Jul 25) - Weekly nine hole round cancelled as the course was tied up with a ladies tournament.  No worries - set up with the 54deg wedge and worked on varied shots with green side focus in mine (those nGIR's).  Worked between high floaters and low spinners from varied lies replicating the types of lies I typically see on the courses around here.  
    • I meant lb for lb - so yes I agree it's wheel weight. How would you go about explaining that to someone? Perhaps the rotational inertia being higher with heavier wheels and the rotational inertia of the wheel requiring more torque to make its angular acceleration increase at the same rate?
