Augusta was never in the game because I guess they wouldn't license it.

1. Pinehurst #2
2. Links at Spanish Bay
3. Haig Point
4. Pebble Beach
5. Ocean Course
I'm surprised you would put HT ahead of the other courses you've played. I've played there several times and can't put it in my top 5. I'd love to go to Scotland to play.

I thought the Old Course was a letdown.
Jul 26, 2013, 10:41 AM

It would be considered a dog track here. It's only on the list because of it's history.
BTW - a trip to Scotland it worth it.

One of my best friends called me a month ago and said he was invited to play Pine Valley and Merion July 30 and 31 and said he was told me could bring another person. So he called and asked me if I wanted to go. That just happens to be the same day as the NC Bar Exam I'm registered for. I still considered it, but I knew if I did that my wife would divorce me immediately (something something added bonus something)! It was hard to say no to.

They routinely run groupons for a $9 round of golf

I laugh because some people think they are getting a deal. Their driving range is literally a pasture...like there are horses looking over the fence at you.

The LPGA course in Wilmington and the one in Newark. Can't remember the Newark course's name but it was the better of the 2 IMO. Played a member-guest there and finished 2nd.

this course. Has a much flatter swing now, and probably 10 strokes better at his game.

haven't played that many real top courses
Jul 26, 2013, 11:13 AM
|

because I'm not spending $300 for a round of golf. I've been lucky to play some good ones for free (luckily I know some golf industry folks).
1. Ocean Course (but it's too hard to enjoy) and all the other Kiawah Courses
2. Okatie, Colleton River, and a bunch of other HH courses
3 The Reserve
4. Cliffs at Keowee
5. Lookout Mountain - Chattanooga (cause it was on top of a mountain and had an "infinite" driving range off the top of the mountain - thought that was cool)
best round at a quality course - shot 71 at Opryland the week after they had a Senior Tour event there.

Which course did you play at Colleton River?
Jul 26, 2013, 11:25 AM
[ in reply to haven't played that many real top courses ] |

In my opinion if you've played the Dye course there you've probably played the best course in Bluffton/Hilton Head. Although I think Haig Point on DI is still a little nicer.

It is awesome. Played the first week of October. It actually snowed on us for 3 holes then the sun came out. We played through it figuring I'd never get a chyance to play it again.
