I have played three courses.

Torrey Pines - twice
PGA West Stadium
Quintero - twice

Pinehurst 2, Pinehurst 8, Pine Needles, Bethpage Black

Nothing burger, but I have a lot of them that are closer to me than ever before now. I hope to get back to regularly playing in the near future. I will hit the NC courses sooner or later.

Kingsmill River, Black Diamond Quarry (pic), Pine Needles.



Note: It's been my experience that Black Diamond is exclusively private. I've only been able to get on during Charity events and member/guest. Must be in the "if you really want to play, there's a way" category.

    Six for me:

    Pebble Beach (2x)
    TPC Sawgrass
    Kapalua Plantation
    Greenbrier - Old White
    Princeville
    Pine Barrons (2x)

      Zero, but hoping to play the new IU course soon.

      Only one....TPC Sawgrass. I have played the original Donald Ross at French Lick and the original IU course, but
      they've both been remodeled, and probably don't resemble what they were when I played them....

      Surprised that I've played 5 Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes, Bay Harbor, Wolf Creek, and Greywalls. Might play another 5 before I'm done but at my age I have no interest in playing harder courses just to say I did. All the above that I played we played because of the views not the golf.

      mikeintopeka How did you do at Pebble? I played it when I was younger and m ch better than i am now. Played the whites. Shot 80 both times. First go-round was 42-38 and the second go-round was 38-42. I would rather have shot 84 and 76, b the it is what lt ls.
      At Pasatiempo I finished the front nine with only ten putts. One chip-in.

          Tinker I had played a couple of courses that used to be on the list that are in Alabama, but they've apparently dropped in the eyes of who ever makes the list. Surprised to see 2 from MS on there, and they are within miles of each other. Guess I need to plan a long weekend.

            Zero.

            I bet even if they upper it to 1000 I’d be at zero.

            Just Yale and one of the Streamsong courses (Blue?).

            rsvman2 - it was many years ago but I remember playing decent. I'll never forget using the tree to the right of the 18th fairway as my target and both tee balls ended up just past it that gave me good looks at birdies after good 2nd shots. I parred 1 and birdied 2 both days so that set me up for good rounds. Hit the downhill par 3 5th in regulation both days by focusing on a smooth swing and not getting distracted by the beautiful views from that tee box. #s 8 and 15 kicked my butt both days. After watching the 'clam bake' for years and the pros hitting approaches long and sucking it back to the stick on #16, I was pumped to emulate those shots. In the first round. I came up a club short of the pin and the 2nd day I pushed it into the right rough and that took away any chance to hit the green. Great memories and we played from the golds because the yardage was a little shorter than our back tees I played on my home course.

              One. #90 Pine Barrens at World Woods (Brooksville Fl.) It's famous for Wonderful World of Golf's televised match between Phil Mickelson and David Toms back in the mid 90's. Played Pine Barrens and it's sister course Rolling Oaks several times. Both are very nice.

                I haven't played any of the listed courses. Living in SW Minnesota I'm quite a ways from any of them. The closest one would be The Classic near Brainerd, MN (235 miles). I've played a nice course just up the road and saw The Classic then. I had meetings at a resort nearby and couldn't find the time to play there. The next closest would be the two courses near Valentine, NB which is roughly 335 miles from me. Next closest would be at Stevens Point, WI. (375 miles) and Giants Ridge in NE Minnesota (385 miles). I've often thought about playing the Classic, the Giants Ridge courses and the Sand Hills courses at Valentine, NB but haven't committed to doing so.
