Does the East end of Long Island have the best golf courses in the world ?

Long Island is probably the best. But maybe if you could include Kent with London then that would win.

As the crow flys....western Scotland and you can include Portrush.

Wayne,

Yes, of course I should have included Stonewall. And from Philadelphia, I'd say Atlantic City CC and Hidden Creek are certainly less than an hour--about 45-50 minutes as you say.

I didn't put the courses in any particular order though my feeling is that both Huntingdon Valley and Rolling Green are more interesting architecturally and better courses than Aronimink. Yet there are a lot of knowledgable folks that feel as you do.

To answer the question of the thread, I think you need to define your terms a little more. How many courses? How big an area? If we can then agree on ratings and a simple methodology -- average, most courses rated 10 on the Doak scale, are two examples -- an answer will pop out.
