Minus -1 for the listicle (and why is that guy stretching in the middle of the fairway, slow play?), but Hill, River, Ridge, Pine, etc... I think they nailed it. Course names off the top of my head: Rock Hill, Pine Ridge (that's a two-fer) Galloping Hills, Hyatt Hills, Silver Lake, Neshanic Valley, Basking Ridge, Pine Valley (that's another two-fer). Pine RIdge Meadow is probably a three-fer. Where is woods in this list? And links. Or hollow.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I played Bushwood (actually Grande Oaks) in Davie Florida a long time ago. Went through the caddyshack (it was real) and the clubhouse. I recognized a few holes, but the first hole was not the first hole in the movie. Where is Myrtle Beach SC in this list? Are the courses spread over too many counties?

Bushwood?  Anything to do with George W?  Maybe he's a  secret investor, or he teamed up with 'The Donald'.

Most of the 100 area MB courses are spread out among 3 counties (Horry, Georgetown and Brunswick).
