[HamiltonBHearst]

It would be a big help on this thread if the members of some of these clubs would acknowledge so they can be contacted for hosting others.

[wsmorrison]

In the US and in no particular order, my top 11 (sorry, couldn't make it 10) are:

CC York *
Sunnehanna *
Oakmont *
Friars Head
Garden City GC
Maidstone
Fishers Island
Newport *
The CC, Pepper Pike *
Pepper Pike Club *
Chicago GC


* will see this year

I chose CC York, because it is a Ross design with what I am told are the greatest Ross greens in PA and that is saying something.  Also Flynn lost out in this competition to Ross.

Sunnehanna is a classic course that was remodeled by Flynn and holds one of the preeminent amateur events annually.

Oakmont.  No need to say anymore.

GCGC, Maidstone, Fishers Island, and Newport for their timeless design and history.  Friars Head to see another C&C classic in the making.

TCC, Pepper Pike and Pepper Pike Club to visit two Cleveland area Flynn's.  TCC is holding the 2nd annual Flynn Invitational.  I'll also visit Elyria in western Cleveland.

Chicago GC because of its history and design.  A tour player and designer was trmendously impacted by this course and is reflected in a design that he did.  I'd like to see for myself how good it is.

Wayne, I have heard similar things about CC of York.  As a Ross fan, I appluad your inclusion of that in your top 10.  A very interesting submission that hopefully will be inlcuded in the DG once some more people get to play it.

[Tiger_Bernhardt]

I thought it was want to see this year. Huck, Pensacola CC, I am hurt you did not put in Oakbourne CC and Metairie CC as part of your southern swing.

[Tiger_Bernhardt]

I need to add painswick and a few in southern England since that is a real trip to be made along with LA and Canada. I will think about Beverly and the chicago area for later today.

[THuckaby2]

Tiger - those only did not appear because I couldn't remember the names!    Rest assured that now that you remind me of them, they are on my some-day must do list for sure.

         With 12-18 inches of snow expected today, I would like to wake up tomorrow and be able to see Olde Kinderhook.
