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.

 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. :-D


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

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.

Caves is good, Baltimore CC East Course is better.

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

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.

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.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
