Assuming you can get a helicopter at North Platte:

- NGLA for breakfast

- Jet from Westhampton or Easthampton to North Platte

- Helicopter to and from Sand Hills

- Jet from North Platte to Monterrey

- Cypress Point!

Cypress Point first thing in the morning, then Spyglass Hill in the middle of the day. If I'm playing on the Summer Solstice I'd finish up with as many holes at Pebble Beach as the pace of play would allow. If there's not enough daylight for five and a half hours at Pebble I'd settle for a late-afternoon Wolf game at MPCC Shore.

same three only Spyglass last, if there's fog in the trees it makes for a special effect.

I would drop Glasgow Gailes in exchange for The Dundonald.

If you can cheat with a helicopter then Sand Hills, Wildhorse and Ballyneal would be sweet.

David,

I should have pointed out that I played these. Dundonald didn't exist at that time.

Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Downs, Kingsley in that order.

Plenty of time in a day for these three.



I played these three in the same day a few years ago, but Crystal Downs was first followed by Arcadia Bluffs and finished off with my virgin tour of The Kingsley Club. What a day and what a finishing 18. It really doesn't get much better.

It has been a pipe dream of mine for a few years to hold a speed golf tournament to riduicule the pestilence of slow play. Woking, West Hill and Worpleston would be my choice. The 54 would be easy, actually finding Woking is the only potential problem.

I did two thirds of that and it was one of the greatest days of golf of my life...maybe the greatest...I missed Kingsley...

Here's an interesting one:  TSN, We-ko-pa (both!)

Bandon, Pacific, The Sheep Ranch

How about MPCC (Shore), Pebble, Cypress!

Tobacco Road, Pine Needles, #2

Caledonia, True Blue, Bulls Bay

Hiawatha Landing, Conklin, Greystone!  There's a great one!

In Boston one could play 4 in a single day:

The Country Club, Charles River, Brae Burn, Woodland
(all within 5-6 miles of each other)

Hard to beat the Sand Belt's:
RMW, KH, Metropolitan

If you had a choice to play three courses in one day, 54 holes total, which courses would you choose?


We'll be doing this on June 25th.  Bandon Trails, Bandon Dunes, and Pacific Dunes.

Might not be my all-world #1 if private courses were in play, but sometimes you have to take the bruises that life deals you!  Not a bad trio to settle for in one day.

I suppose you could substitute The Australian in there...

Cypress, Spyglass and MPCC Shore

I love dreaming.... :)


I suppose perhaps Sand Hills, Dismal River, and Sand Hills again -- that counts because I hear playing SH in morning can be a totally different course than afternoon..

Sometimes you gotta jump in and give South Florida its props when the opportunity presents itself:

Indian Creek, LaGorce and Doral (Blue)
From an architectural perspective, ICCC is the only one of the three that hasn't undergone a redesign or the substantial facelift and constant tinkering that hosting a tour event has been (self)inflicted upon Doral.  

I wouldn't try "Extreme Golf" beginning a few weeks from now until about late November.  
And that's assuming you'd be wimping it in a cart.
Even the tight ass hard liners at the USGA did away with the 36 holes in one day US Amateur qualifiers in Florida.  Last one I played in at the Golf Club of Miami, they were dropping like flies.
B-R-U-T-A-L  heat!  And it's not a dry heat!

Some mostly modern style trio's which I don't claim to be the equal of Southampton or Pebble, but they'd be interesting combinations:

-Golf Club of Scottsale and two courses at Whisper Rock
-Rancho Santa Fe, The Bridges, and RSF Farms
-Mauna Kea, Hapuna, Mauna Lani
-Shadow Creek, Wynn, Cascata
-Dinah Shore Course, PGA West Stadium, Plantation
-Bighorn, Stone Eagle, The Quarry
-GC of Austin, Austin CC, Barton Creek (Crenshaw or Fazio)
-Oak Tree, Karsten Creek, Southern Hills (2 hrs of driving)

Somebody's got to jump in for the South.

How about a Bobby Jones trio?

Peachtree, East Lake and ANGC.

OK, so he didn't design East Lake & you would need that helicopter ......

I would drop Glasgow Gailes and Dundonald and add Prestwick.

Others would be TOC, Kingsbarns, and Crail

Cruden Bay, Royal Aderdeen, and the course next door to Aberdeen which I'm drawing a blank on right now.

The American Club - any of the four

Pinehurst #2, Pine Needles, and Mid Pines would be fun or maybe Tobacco Road
