For me it would be: Winged Foot bc I was able to play it in USGA conditions Oakmont, Riviera and LACC would round out my top 4 Pine Valley didn’t make this list as the time I played it the greens were running 8-9 stimp bc it was the middle of the summer Public: Bethpage

Pine Valley Sand Hills Seminole Friars Chicago Golf Club Cypress Point

Butler National They could mow the greens/cut holes and host a major tomorrow.

Golf de Morfontaine near Paris Royal St. Georges LACC Prestwick Valderrama Sunningdale Old

In the states: Pine Valley Cypress Point Merion

Only because I probably won’t be getting back on: Sleepy Hollow King Kamehameha Hudson National You guys have a nice list! I don’t have any connects to get on at the top tier clubs unless I pay up for a charity outing which turns into client entertaining, which means casual golf. Bethpage Black I can play anytime I want with a little effort, whether it is sniping a time, looking for cancellations, or just showing the early in the morning. It is just a lot of effort for a tough day of golf.

I have smart friends who don't invite me to "top 100 pedigree courses" so in no particuar order are a few favorites where someone was silly enough to let me play... Valhalla Dormie Club Hidden Creek Club Due Process Stable Bedminster

Best course or Most Exclusive course? Rankings Wise Private: Shinnecock Hills Public: Pebble Beach Personal Favorites: Private: Hidden Creek (NJ) Public: TPC Sawgrass Stadium

Putterho if we are going off of most exclusive, my pick would be porcupine creek

Let's get back on track. Most exclusive doesn't mean best.... Ton's of amazing courses that don't sniff the top100 list. We don't need to get out the tape measures here.

Right now its Kenwood Country Club (home turf) but it soon will be the club I'm interning for this summer, Sankaty Head Golf Club

What is the best course you have ever played?

DaHOF

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

Jaybananapantsarthur love dormie and it’s close to me too.

Jaybananapantsarthur

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).

TFixer5

Jaybananapantsarthur @chickenman13 that's right and then we saw Chickenman at Augusta Monday. I want another shot at Raleigh CC sometime too.

chickenman13

TFixer5 you guys let me know. RCC for sure and Old Chatham is another one we need to play.

Dormie Club for me but hoping to start knocking off some quality courses next year.

MatthewASim

Valderrama is another one I have played that is very high up on my list, some very very good holes and a tricky golf course with all the cork trees hanging over.

If anyone lives close to there or has a contact please let me know Looking to get a Pin Flag as its the only one I am missing from the top courses I've played.

off_day

Mine have been Sweetens, Settindown, and Ansley. Maybe not bucket-listers (although I hope to plan a golf trip to somewhere next year), but three courses that I've played with best friends.
