TexasGers 96 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've been lucky enough to play Whistling Straits up in Wisconsin and the Doral in Miami and loved both. My dad has played on Pebble Beach and Celtic Manor in Wales and raved about them. What's the best one you've played on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chookes 21 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hawk's Landing at the Marriott World Centre in Florida. I'm a member at Stornoway and only played a handful around Scotland; Fortrose, Muir of Órd, Alness (I think) and Harris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo. 952 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Darnley is good for reasonably cheap course. It's my fav course to play around this neck of the woods. Where's the course at Darnley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Whistling Straits and Doral I've played some top courses, and was lucky enough to have grown up on the Old Course, which really isn't that great a course. Top courses I have played; Kingsbarns Troon, Prestwick, Loch Lommond, Turnberry, Old Collier, Naples National, Portmarnock, Sunningdale and Koninklijke Haagsche.

GersDude90 1 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I've played Loch Lomand which is smashing. Ever played the Carrick Muff? Thats another cracking course. I played Celtic manor off the championship tee's and I thought I was in heaven! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistling Straits is hard as fuck, but a great course nonetheless, and it's very reminiscent of British courses Some family friends of ours went to Scotland about 4 or 5 years ago and played Turnberry Ailsa, the Old Course, and Royal Troon and loved it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caddy for Mr Herb Kohler everytime he's in St. Andrews, and the man owes me numerous rounds at Whistling! There are so many courses I'd love to play. If I won the lottery, I'd take my mates on a World tour of the greatest golf courses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm going to add Carnoustie aswell, as I think that is one of the best and toughest courses around, especially when you play it when the wind is howling off the North Sea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Four Seasons resort right outside of Dallas is a great one to, that's where they hold the Byron Nelson Championship every year. I played at Camp Creek in Florida over Thanksgiving, where they hold US Open qualifiers. It's a Tom Fazio designed course and a tough bastard as well! http://www.campcreekgolfclub.com/index.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campcreek looks a cracking course, and I'd love to play it off the tips - 7159. Tom Fazio He's what you'd call, a modern day godfather of golf course architecture!
