I'd have to say a morning round at Victoria Golf Club followed by a late Afternoon Round on Royal Melbourne West. A morning Round at Kingsley Club followed by an afternoon round at The Loop this summer is a close second.
I have to add that it has been amazing to see some of the 36 hole days on here. Many of us are truly blessed. I also want to say I love it when people just talk about special days at 1 course or just two perfect rounds on mediocre courses with family or close friends. I guess I haven't grown up enough or am still too excited about some recent opportunities to play great courses to do that.

A Father Son Race the sun and beat the traffic 45 hole day: LACC North, Riviera CC... and a twilight night cap at zen like 9 Hole Muni, Penmar by the Sea. Priceless

The Old Course at St. Andrews and Lundin Links. What a quirky, enthralling day of golf.

 I have had some special 36 hole days but the only one that matters to me,


Walking Gullane Hill with Archie Baird in the morning, St Andrews on a whim in the late,late afternoon, with Nick the caddie on my bag, finished in the  dark.  July 1997 still have the scorecard firmly placed in my golf architecture book.  Had no tee time at St Andrews just showed up at the starter stand.

36 at Dornoch in perfect weather with a nice breeze, a great caddie and a hot putter.  75-74 with a 25 foot par putt at the last to finish it off. Dinner afterwards in the Royal Hotel restaurant looking out those awesome windows with a bottle of French wine and then a walk at sunset at 10:30 pm across the course.  Accidentally left a copy of Bobby Jones's On Golf book on the bench between 2 green and 3 tee.

Hmm....hard to keep up with the name droppers here, but just the same we all have those unforgettables.  In the early seventies, my brother and I found ourselves in Banff, not by accident. We lived in western Colorado in those times, and I saw a picture of the Devils Cauldron in a book in the school library. I am pretty sure it was the sixth hole in those days. 
We teed off at daylight, someone collected our 14 dollar all day green fee at about the 14th fairway, and we played 72 holes, finishing in the dark.
I would love to hear others who can share a value like this.
By the way, I made two, twos on that hole, as good as they come.

-36 holes at Sand Hills
-LACC North & South
-36 holes at Ballyneal

Any 36 hole day is a memorable one, as the most recent one replaces the previous. 36 with friends no matter where played is a day to be treasured as much for the breakfast, lunch, and cocktails after as it is for the golf and course.

36 at Tobacco Road maybe 8 or 10 years ago, on my only, after yet another knee surgery hired the son of a one of the catering staff to 'caddy' for me. He turned up with a cart and drove while I walked the 1st 18. 2nd round I asked if he wanted to play, he did, pretty well and he drank 18 beers in 18 holes - the best I've ever witnessed. I shot 36 on the front to add to 33 on the back in the morning for the only 18 consecutive holes I ever shot under 70. No, that wasn't a round under 70, I know...

Mine was 2 weeks ago- morning round at Pebble Beach, lunch at the Tap Room and over to Cypress Point for an afternoon round. Checked into my room at Cypress and then enjoyed a fine bottle of Caymus with the guys  in the SFB Morse room. As one of the guys said , " this is how life should be". It is a magical place, the Monterey Peninsula .

Most 36 hole days are at home course. Significant ones overseas.
Royal Porthcawl, one birdie in each 18
Perranporth, had to finish the last 9 on my own as everyone else at Buda left for dinner.
Two days in a row at St. Enodoc.
Rosses Point and Strandhill
Rosapenna Old Tom Morris
Royal Portrush Valley Course (had 9 days available and they wouldn't let me have 36 at Dunluce on any one of them)

A very good day was playing North Berwick in the Morning, followed by a round at Dunbar, then driving back to our hotel in St. Andrews we stopped and played another round at Leven Links.  So, please forgive my ability to count and add a third course, but hey, we were there so why not. 
We were some tired puppies, but wore some really big smiles!!!!!!!!!

Chris,


that's the great thing about Scotland in summer 36, 54 or even 72 holes in good daylight are more than possible.


Glad you enjoyed it.
