Shinnecock ... aaahhh maybe some day.

Never played overseas yet.

Bethpage Black to me will never get old.

Crappy logo though...

Great course with incredible views, super pricey but worth it one time.

Oak Tree

Pine Needles.

Very underrated. Played there the day before Pinehurst

Charlevoix, Michigan

Brandon dunes.

...

Gorgeous and fun, although a bit challenging. The par 3 off the cliff is the coolest hole I've ever played in my life. Views of Ocean and Mountains. Really hard to beat.

Was the most most tee to green elevation I've ever played! Fun course, bring a wind breaker : ).

Carnoustie
Pinehurst No. 2
Kingsbarns
Streamsong Red
Torrey Pines

I think you mean the white witch. Its named after the white witch of Rose Hall which is very nearby. Great golf course though. I loved every hole.

GC of Houston has its moments.

I played the Earth course at Jumeirah recently and that's a blast.

Dunes course in Cabo is quite something too.

or my son.

Amen to that.

Forget where in MT, but went there for a bachelor party there. Beautiful views. I suck at golf, but the views...UFB.

Cassique and The River Course at Kiawah Island Club (caddied there a bit)
Ocean course is obviously great
Yeamans Hall in Hanahan is fantastic
Rounding out the top 5 would be Ko’Olau on Oahu

Pretty amazing, I can consider myself pretty lucky to have played some great places .... and have only played a handful of the courses on either thread.

Red Rocks GC outside of Denver (Morrison CO)
Pebble Beach

Fishers Island
Yale
Medalist Golf Club (Tiger’s track)
Troon North
Wolf Creek

Fishers Island hands down the best course I’ve played.

South. Pretty surreal. Plus I was very high.

It’s about CypresS point an impromptu match between Ber Hogan and Byron Nelson vs Ken venturinand harvey ward ...Two man best ball..

My list -

Olympic club lake course , Cypress point , pebble beach , Sherwood cc, rich harvest farms , Medinah , Harding park, tpc scottsdale , scottsdale cc, desert mountain
The match - ( New Window )

nice list capone.

I got invited to Medinah about 10 years ago...great track.

TPC Sawgrass
Harbor Town Golf Links
Avenel Golf Club (MD)

my favorite is still Soaring Eagles GC in Horseheads NY, Many fond memories and I played it when it was newly built.

My favorite to date by far:

Old Quarry Golf Course: Curaçao, played there on my honeymoon, absolutely beautiful. Weirdest grass ever, almost like playing on Astro turf, but the scenery and beauty was so stunning and so surreal. I was so enamored by the beauty of the course and landscapes it really distracted me from my gameplay, but it is certainly a course I’d love to revisit some day. Amazing.

Sebonac
Garden City Mens Golf Club

and the best in NJ i've played is Bayonne, its not easy to get on but if you get an opportunity you should play it. There's nothing like it in the North east

I played:

Balybunion - Cashen Course terrible weather, but that was the fun of the challenge. Felt like they didn’t change the land to much, just go play the elements as they are.

Balyowen - Loved that Jersey course someone mentioned above. They played bagpipes in the late afternoon and I beat my buddies. Which is always nice. Tough golf course.

Hudson National - Somehow felt it was underrated. #4 Every hole is breathtaking.

Pebble - Greens were so tough, but top 3.

Ocean Course - My personal favorite just a great day. #1 Beautiful setting, super challenging, but fair.

Winged Foot - Prolly number 2. Great sight lines and can feel the history there.

Westchester - Maybe just outside my top 5, but great piece of land. Tons of variety of holes.

New Haven - Great layout, huge awesome greens. On the list but not in the top 3.

Chambers Bay - Tee to green so much fun, so much elevation change, tough walk for sure. Once the get they get the greens sorted, it would move way up the list. Just bumpy for such a good layout.

Rankings are tough, but these are some of the one’s I loved.

Caves Valley is fantastic.

A lot of them mentioned on this thread and some that weren't but my favorite would be Bay Hill for many reasons. Not the least of which was meeting the owner a few times and him treating everyone in my group like we were old friends (trust me we were not - just star struck). They only made one like that.

in Fort Worth where they play the pro tournament every year. I worked in the golf shop there in high school and college and got to play the course for free.

The Creek
Cabot Links
Sleepy Hollow
Prestwick

Pinehurst No. 2 and 4 (awesome since Hanse redesign)
