Dream Golf Trip

[golf_guy86]

If you had a week to play 3 rounds of golf at any courses in the world where would you play and in what order? alll free rounds. 

I would start by playing Pinehurst #2

then i would travel to Dubai and play the Emirates Golf Club

and i would finish with a round at the old course St. Andrews.

With only a week, I would keep it in the states.

Riviera

Sawgrass

Castle Pines

still good choices

 I'd go with the Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Monterey Peninsula combo. Lots of golf and very little travel between the 3.

I'm kind of on the same page as @SavvySwede, I think I'd minimize travel to some extent.  If its ANY course, I'd be sure to include at least one that I simply can't play because its private.  I'm intrigued by the Sand Belt courses in Australia, or the stunning New Zealand courses, but I don't know enough about them to pick specific courses.  One set of courses in the US might include  the original Monterrey group, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Cypress Point, but I think I'd go for  Harbour Town, Kiawah's Ocean Course, and Augusta National.

That would be too much travel for me.

I think I have a few options if I wanted minimal travel time between courses, 

Spyglass, Pebble Beach, Cyprus Point (Tied)

Pinehurst #2, Pine Needles, Pinehurst #4

St. Andrews, Royal County Down, Muirfield (Tied)

It would probably be a tie between Monterey and the UK. If somehow I could travel between these two with out delay or hassle then my top 3 would be

St. Andrews, Pinehurst #2, Pebble Beach

If granted a fantasy golf week I would limit myself to courses on which I would typically never be allowed to play.

• Augusta National
• Cypress Point
• Pine Valley

How about a realistic dream for 3 perfect weather May days....Merion, Pine Valley and Galloway National...actually I could probably make that one happen if it was important enough to me!

[DaveP043]

I want to change my response, I had time thinking in the car on my way to work.  I think that Pine Valley has to be in the mix, so I considered a driving trip.  I can see starting at Oakmont, then Merion, finishing at Pine Valley.  You could make a stop at Latrobe CC on the way, and maybe add Baltrusol to the mix  Coming from the other direction, you could start here at Congressional, hit Caves Valley near Baltimore, and finish at Pine Valley.  Either of those routes would be a dream.

[jsgolfer]

There are so many that I would love to play.  But if I was driving, these who be the three, although Merion iras a tosh up with Oakmont.

Oakmont

Pine Valley

Augusta National

Caves is good, Baltimore CC East Course is better.

Whistling Straits 

Torrey Pine

Pebble Beach

I'd hit exotic courses that I wouldn't otherwise have access to.

Gotta agree with this one.

[bwdial]

At this point, just getting to play three times in one week would be a dream.

And I'd need a ton of Aleve.

If I'm staying stateside, I guess my three would be Pebble Beach, Augusta National, and Pinehurst #2.

In the U.K. I'd go with St. Andrews, Turnberry, and Carnoustie, just for the history.

[Yukari]

St. Andrews

Augusta

those two are must. I've already played Pebble Beach so I can't think of the third that I absolutely want to play. Sure I'd like to play whistling straight, Bandon Dunes etc. but they are not absolute must on my list. 

[ElWagonne]

I gotta say, Augusta National, Bethpage Black and Winged Foot are my trio.

1) Royal Melbourne Golf Club

2) Old Couse at St Andrews

3) Augusta
