No one has mentioned this place yet, which has a rather more rugged beauty to it.

I found a photo on the club's website that begins to suggest why I included Northland Country Club in Duluth on my list:

Diamond Creek

Bart, the view from the 16th tee isn't too bad.

As one can see from the lists above starting with Cypress et al, this desert course would not make a top 100 list. I doubt it is top 10 desert.

Although I have not played it yet (soon as my father in law is from Northern Ireland) Royal County Down, but more recently, here:








The views at Arcadia are awe inspiring.

Played Victoria GC a few weeks ago.  A stunning setting with eight holes on/near the water.  Maybe because it was 85 degrees and not a hint of wind, but playing golf seemed to be a distraction to enjoying all of the activity going on in and around the water.  I would have been equally as happy sitting in a lawn chair down on the 8th tee.

Never played Cypress....Pebble was beautiful but something about Royal Portrush  really got me !


Standing on that 5th tee  was pretty breathtaking!

Never played it, but Cypress Point is hard to pass on this scale.  #16 has to be the best hole in golf!
