The Highlands. It's part of Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in AL. I suck at golf so I don't keep score.

The day I get to play Augusta is the day I can die a happy man.

Everything else in life will just be lagniappe at that point.

Pebble Beach

And it was haaaaaarrrrd


I struggled at Pebble as well, but think that once the novelty wore off and you played it a few times it wouldn't be that difficult though. I did play it a handful of months before the last US Open was there and you could see the color difference of where they seeded fairways for the rough and how narrow the fairways would be. I definitely gained a lot of respect with shear difficulty of US open conditions. Spyglass was definitely more difficult.

Kapalua was by far my favorite though, golf course on the side of a mountain, trade winds blowing down hill, and grain growing down hill. You would hit 400 yards drives down hill and struggle hitting a 7 iron 115 coming back. Most difficult is breath on a 40ft put towards the ocean, then trusting you have to smoke a 8' putt coming back.

Bandon Dunes

Beautiful course in Oregon. Links style with no development between the course and coast. Mandatory walking and caddy. Micheal Jordan used to fly a private plane there and play regularly with well known pros.

The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, CT. Shot a 92, which isn't terrible for me.

Callaway Gardens course in Georgia where the Buick Challenge tournament was played. The Mountain Course I believe. David Toms and Tiger each won that tournament

I'm playing Brandon dunes and Brandon trail in 2 weeks. Tried to do Brandon and pacific dunes but they they were booked one of the 2 days.

Played chambers bay last year and shot a 91. Played both page black last year and don't talk about the score. My clubs got stolen outside clubhouse before the round started so played with rentals. Phuckers charged me for rentals too.

Torrey Pines

A big number

Pumpkin Ridge many times.... much lower numbers

If you were younger than 18, it was $25 to play Ghost Creek at Pumpkin. Best deal in golf.

Harbour Town in Hilton Head & TPC Sawgrass- Stadium and Valley courses. I enjoyed harbor town more. It could be due to TPC being in rough shape when I played it. Both are amazing though, and I would highly recommend either.

Augusta National. Shot 79.

It's a very nice course, but I've played other courses that I liked better.

Played plantation course in Kapalua. Shot 81 but eagled 18th to finish the round.

Torrey pines south kicked my arse the day I played it. Had a hangover.

St Andrews
Pebble
Cherry Hills
Castle Pines
Colonial

The good news is that I didn't make it into triple digits on any of the five. The bad news is that I only broke 90 at the Colonial and that is because I made almost every putt I looked at.
