Played a couple of the courses at PGA West in Palm Springs. Those are the only ones worth mentioning.

So Bigg A how was it?


Not Bigg A, but I played at Tobacco Road a few years ago.

It was really nice. However, it seems as though it would take a round or two to get comfortable there. Lots of blind shots. Overall, it was a neat experience.

Have fun......

I am going to play TPC South Wind on Saturday. It could possibly move into #1 on my list. My current #1 is probably Greystone or Old Waverly



my home course glad you liked it

Some of the nice courses I have played at TPC Scottsdale, Troon North, Eagle Trace, Philadelphia Cricket Club and Annondale. My favorite out of those was Troon North

I've played here and the bluffs and a decent bit of the RTJ Trail...

Oh, and Kiva and the Peninsula. But none of those are truly incredible courses on the national scale.

Haven't played it, but Augusta is the winner

But the top few I've played are:
1) PGA West Stadium Course in Palm Springs
2) Indian Wells Celebrity (Palm Sprgs)

Most famous - Carnoustie in Scotland.
Most picturesque - The Princeville in Hawaii.

Not me, but my buddy works in sports broadcasting and his first job was with CBS in Augusta. He got to play Augusta National, twice. Now he works for NBC in Columbus, and has gotten to play Murfield (The Memorial course), twice. Lucky dude.

In Memphis? It's definitely a nice track, but not even the nicest in Memphis. If you can, while you're here try to get out to Spring Creek Ranch. It's where they were going to move the tournament to a few years ago when Stanford had the naming rights to the tourney here. They poured a ton of money into the course, then of course got in a whole bunch of trouble and are no more. The guy that originally owned Spring Creek sold it to Stanford for X amount and then bought it back after their ordeal for pennies on the dollar.

Yea my dad said Memphis CC is probably nicer. I think he is trying to get a tee time there as well this weekend. He is a retired Golf course superintendent and it's pretty much common courtesy to let him play if he shows them his gcsaa card. I'll mention Spring Creek to him if Memphis CC gives him any problems
