Wait a minute, I got it.

Sawgrass = Frankenstein

[Tom Huckaby]

The Ranch at Silver Creek (San Jose, CA) = The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Augusta National- Suddenly
Camargo- Not another Teen Movie
National- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Longaberger- To Catch a Thief
Inverness- Two For the Road

Royal Melbourne-Ned Kelly (Where it all began)
NSWGC-Mad Max (During his time in Sydney, Mel Gibson often started fights he couldn't win.)
The Australian-(Breaker Morant) Another case of getting f___ed by someone from overseas.
Ellerston-Malcolm (A gem that no-one gets to see)
Royal Sydney-Muriel's Wedding (It's fun and the site of Sydney's high-profile wedding receptions.)
Portsea-The Year My Voice Broke (Another undiscovered classic set in a small Victorian town.)
St. Andrews Beach-The Coca-Cola Kid (An American Makes good in Oz)
National Moonah-Master and Commander (Another effort by a bloke with a high opinion of himself)
National Ocean-The Year of Living Dangerously (Make a mistake and you're screwed)
Barnbougle Dunes-Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith (US/Australian joint venture finally works out.)

[Chris Kane]

Moonah Links -> Titanic (they had all the resources needed for a classic, and failed)

[Michael Moore]

J. Hoberman's meditation on Andrei Rublev

" . . . takes the form of a chronologically discontinuous pageant . . . the film projects an entire world - or rather the sense that . . . the world itself is trying to force its way through the screen. Undirectable creatures animate Tarkovsky's compositions - a cat bounds across a corpse-strewn church, wild geese flutter over a savaged city. The birch woods are alive with water snakes and crawling ants, the forest floor yields a decomposing swan."

brings to mind the South Portland Municipal Golf Course.

[Bill_Yates]

Lahinch = Waking Ned Devine

[Dan Kelly]

Cruden Bay = "Local Hero"?

Bad pun, anyway.

[Bill_McBride]

Jay, what's the best movie ever made?

That's what I think of the back nine at Pasatiempo, the best nine holes in golf.

[Jim Nugent]

On the Waterfront....Liberty National

My Fair Lady....Tie between Rawls Course and Whistling Straits

A Shot in the Dark...Bethpage Black

Frankenstein...Oakland Hills originally, PGA West the remake

[Kenny Lee Puckett]

The Longest Day - Bethpage Black

[Jay Flemma]

Turning Stone Casino = Evil Dead 2

[Jordan Wall]

A great course for a great movie

Kapalua = Napoleon Dynamite

[Jay Flemma]

Best movie ever made?  Ooooooooh tough...well my FAVORITE is a tie...shakespeare in love and Pulp Fiction.  Best?  Casablanca maybe?

Maybe thats what Black Mesa is!!!

[Gerry B]

interesting topic

i was once asked to compare pine valley and merion and used movie directors as a reference point:

pine valley is a Cecil de Mille movie - big production values

merion is  a Billy Wilder movie (ie. sunset boulevard) more subtle  - but one of the all time greats nonetheless.

[Mike_Trenham]

Carnoustie = The French Connection

[Tim Gavrich]

Could we call The International something like Apocalypse Now, because they're both REALLY REALLY long?

Are there any courses out there worthy of a Woody Allen name?

[PThomas]

good stuff Jay

Cypress is my favorite course I've played so far, so that's my Casablanca

would that (ridiculously?) difficult course in Hawaii be JAWS?
