750 bucks is a quite a bit of dough for some golf.  I am sure it will be higher by the time it finishes.  I know that it is probably a good deal but I can't see myself dropping a G for a single golf round

3 players with caddies....750 is cheap my guess is it will sell around 1000....so 333 each to play there with a caddie.

I would pay the 250.  But getting my friends to spring for that would be tough.

Understand. The person handling the charity for this Montessori School listed it in Sports rather than Golf. Either which way it will be a lot....but for a chance to play this place...This is one of the ways to a deal.

I didn't expect to have played any of the courses on the list, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've played Hollywood GC in Deal, NJ (#15 on the list) with @SavvySwede.

I have been lucky enough to play about 30 of the courses on this list.   I was surprised that I had played that many.

I caddied right across the street from Hollywood at Deal Golf and Country Club and went over to Hollywood to caddy once in a great while (got to play it once as well).   Great course!

Skipped from the OP to the last page. Opened the link and scanned the list for Ohio. I have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot riding a Unicorn than getting on any of the top 20 because they're all private! Seriously private and expensive! I'd like to see a list of the best public courses in each state. Haven't read any golf mags in years, so don't really know if they do that but it doesn't seem unreasonable. 

I've played a Pete Dye track here in NE Ohio, Fowler's Mill, and it's a hell of a course! Very challenging and with country club conditioning! I can book rounds there on GolfNow for a relative song, and it's become one of my and my buddies favorites. There's another Dye course about 5-6 miles up the road from me, Avalon Lakes. It's semi-private and non-equity, and if I show up with a hundy and a half in my hand I can play it! Haven't felt like dropping that much coin on one round yet, but I feel the itch to do it. I'm going to enter a local tourney where the field is split up on the second day among local country clubs, and Avalon is one of them. I hope I get to play it this year. Played Youngstown CC last year, an old Donald Ross course that was also quite difficult. Kept me from making the cut!

I have played around 25 on the list. Unfortunately  the ones I really want to play, I don't think I'm ever going to get the chance. The Augusta's, Seminoles, and Pine Valleys of the world are going to be out of reach. I was actually surprised that some of the courses I have played actually made the list. There are about a half dozen that have me scratching my head.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

Thanks for the link. As far as Golfweek is concerned, I've already played 6 of the top 10 public courses in the state! I feel blessed!

Can someone suggest a good golf course in Florida? There are tons of them, but I don't know which to choose.

Florida is quite big....My first rec would be go to Streamsong. Three courses....Red, Blue Black. Doak, Coore Crenshaw and Hanse...All 3 are rated very high. You will feel like you are in Ireland. Courses are big/open and playable. Depending on when you go they are sometimes walking only. Not cheap but worth the $ spent. THese courses are about 90 minutes from Orlando and 60 minutes from Tampa.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
