It would be better if it is a course that you have played.


My favorite course is Thunderhawk, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in Beach Park, Illinois.
 
Tpc at sawgrass. not the stadium course (duh)
ponte vedra inn and club (right on the beach)
or queen's harbour

all within 15mins of eachother. one of the many blessings of being from jacksonville beach.
 
My favorite golf course is the Bahia Beach Plantation golf course, just outside San Juan, Puerto Rico. Its the most beautiful course I've played, with 3 ocean front holes, and the El Yunque rainforest serves as a backdrop to many of the holes.
 
Top 5 courses I've played:

1) Winged Foot West
2) Oak Hill
3) The Stanwich Club
4) Winged Foot East
5) Westchester Country Club West

Top 5 on my wish list:
1) Augusta National
2) Pine Valley
3) Shinnecock Hills
4) Cypress Point
5) Muirfield (Scotland)

Biggest disappointment:
1) Pebble Beach
 
top course I played in the US= wente vineyards in livermore (SF east bay)

top courses I played in asia=
1. blue canyon course in phuket, thailand
2. jagorawi golf club, indonesia

 
I'm from the NW so that's all I know... although I have played in hawaii including the Mauna Kea mentioned earlier. I think all the hawaii courses are overpriced (touristy), they are in good condition but everything else is like crap compared to the ~$100+ places here in the NW. My favorites are Cour D'Alane, Trophy Lake, and Washington National (family has a lifetime membership there).

You heard right. Pebble is monstrously overpriced, poorly conditioned for much of the year, the pace of play is a joke, the greens putt like shag carpet and most of the holes are only mediocre. Pebble keeps it's inflated and undeserved reputation on it's views alone. The holes that play along Carmel Bay are beautiful, the rest of the course is very ordinary. A lot of people are seduced by the looks and forget about the golf course itself. If you replaced those cliffs along the Pacific with an ordinary level lake the shot values of the course would be exactly the same and Pebble wouldn't even rank in the top 100 courses in the US. $400 for a six hour round on a poorly conditioned course that looks great isn't much of a deal. There are courses just as beautiful as Pebble that cost a lot less and offer better golf.
