This is a tough one for sure...no particular order:

Cal Club (could play here every day the rest of my life and never tire of it)
Turnberry
Old Course
Pebble
Spyglass

Eddie totally agree Kiawah in the wind from the PGA Tee’s is the hardest course I’ve ever played. Was 1 under thru 4 2 days in a row and shot 80/79 hitting it like a god. Had to hit 3 wood into a par 4 into the wind.

The most fun I have on a course is at Tobacco Road the course is super interesting and always a good match with the guys as low handicaps can go super low there. Great match play course. And the beers.....

MatthewASim gotta disagree on Tobacco Road. I played there once, shot 67 and told myself I would never go back there. Too many blind shots for me.

    dphatt have to play it multiple
    times to find out some of the lines. Always a stop for the boys and I when down that way.

      No real particular order (shamefully I was too young when I played half of these to truly enjoy them):

      Ocean Forest
      Pacific Dunes
      Prairie Dunes
      Merion
      Peachtree
      Southern Hills
      Ballyneal

      My top 3 are Kapalua, Kiawah and Hazeltine. Kapalua for pure beauty. I had first tee time a couple days before Christmas. I was a single and had the course to myself. The stands were up for the tourney in January and it was very cool. Kiawah was beautiful as well. It started with the video below when I got to the course. Cleared up by the time I got to the tee, but the wind was something awful. My caddie had me aiming so far from the fairways to ride the wind. It was ridiculous, but a gorgeous track.

      DaHOF I have invites to Southern Hills, peachtree, and ocean forest. Need to make time ASAP to make those happen. Lol. Hopefully next year. Trying to plan a Bandon trip too.

      ForeLeft All great courses. Take advantage while you can!!!

        Southern Hills
        oak tree national
        tulsa CC
        OU jimmie Austin plus the short course? Decent little trip? Lol

          djaveragejoe You ain't lying! I've played out there in almost dead calm in the morning and raging winds in the afternoon. Absurd, but either way you get those phenomenal views. Just wish I could take a photograph like you when I play there.

          So many bucket list courses listed by many of you.👏🏻

          My top 2 would be:
          Whistling Straits
          Pacific Dunes (though all of the courses at Bandon are amazing!)

          chickenman13 we did Easter Sunday before Monday practice rounds at Augusta IIRC. Loved it. Bit in the middle of nowhere but worth every minute of it (and I'm not always the biggest C&C architecture fan).
