Some of my better ones include:

Had the pleasure of Baltusrol Lower and Upper a handful of times
36 at Kingsbarnes was a really good day
St Andrews Jubilee and New with lunch before and drinks after in the clubhouse there is a great day
Saucon Old and Grace is a good one
and admitting my home course bias - Hershey East and West is a real good combo as well

Slapper kills it, no surprise!

I did Turnberry at 6AM morning after British Open 2009 (first group off, good to have media friends), followed by Western Gailes that afternoon.  A top-5 golf experience for me.

More recently, a 36'er of Hidden Creek and Galloway National, then craps at Borgata, was tough to beat.

In September of 1985, on I played Sunningdale Old & New in one day, Berkshire Red & Blue the next day and Wentworth East & West a couple of days later. That was a pretty good week. ;)

I presume you enjoy driving, if that left great memories.  That's a 4 hour drive!

I've had some great days of going around twice at the same course, but for different courses I'll nominate

Friar's Head / Shinnecock (see Sheehy's post)

Royal Melbourne / Kingston Heath

The Golf Club / Scioto


That RM / KH day was really something wasn't it. As if the courses, weather and company wasn't enough, you go and score a load of birdies, and an albatross!

I really enjoyed the two days we played 36 holes at Silloth last year. If only I had a picture of the whale & chips I had for lunch in the clubhouse. Brian, you'd be impressed!

Royal Lytham (the whole experience) followed by Formby was just as good.

I still think that playing 36 holes a day during my club's open week as a teenager will never be beaten. The course (Gweedore) wasn't great, but it was just so enjoyable not having a care in the world.  When the sun was shining, it was wonderful.

Blackwolf Run/Whistling Straits and Streamsong Red/Blue were both really really good this year.  But for me, hard to top 36 at Secession a couple years ago. 

Mid-morning round, lunch followed by another 18.  Only group on the course all day and finished 18 as the sun was setting.  Also included, fantastic porch to enjoy several drinks.

featuring North Haven and Tarratine is etched in the memory of the participants and the cyclist who tagged along, and was forgotten immediately by our excellent boat captain, just another day in paradise for her.

Last Friday I hosted Ran Morrissett and Sean Arble at Reddish Vale in the morning, and competed in our Friday Open in the afternoon. A grand day.

I'm hoping this Saturday will be as much fun. Monthly medal in the morning followed by a twilight round with visiting GCAer Jim Eder and my son...

Mark

Macrahanish was a 7am start and Loch Lomond 2.30pm, it included black puding and haggis for lunch half way up the drive, and the drive was just as memorable as the golf

Silloth was also 7am start, then train to woodhall and a 6pm game

All felt pretty easy at the time and when you have just arrived form Australia you wake up pretty early so the summer days make it possible

Duncan: any chance of a Ran Reddish Vale photo profile? Any other Ran reviews in our future from this England trip?

Brian,

I'm pleased to say Ran was very taken with Reddish Vale and is planning on doing a profile for the 'Courses by Country' section. As for other courses, I know he was visiting Aberdovey and Royal St Davids before heading up to Scotland - I seem to remember him mentioning Askernish and the Trump place...

Merion West in the am, lunch on the patio and Merion East in the afternoon. Followed by a quick trip to the clubs archives then off to the showers with a big cold beer. I think we had dinner afterward, I believe I was smiling so much it made no difference. What a great day.

Beat Kalen in GRUDGE MATCH II at Chambers Bay, have lunch with Rich and Brent and other GCAers they hosted, and then go out and play another 18 with Mark Saltzman while he disassembles the course.

On my recent trip at Bandon we were first out on PD, played in 3 hours.  There was a gap at OM so again we played in 3 hours, never running into another group.

A handful of beer with a late lunch at 1:30. followed by a most civilized nap, and then an emergency 9 before watching playoff hockey.  Technically it was 45, but it was pretty sweet even without the 9.

OK: THAT to me is the perfect day. Noone in front or behind, golf on two of the greatest courses on the planet with amazing scenery, a good lunch, bit of a nap and another quick hit at the best time of the day to be outdoors followed by sports on the telly while presumably having more food and beers. Yes, yes, yes!

Ditto, especially for playoff hockey.

What, with a bad back and two bad knees I don't have too many 36 hole days, these days... We used to get the bus to Buxton and pay a single green fee at High Peak and play 54 without taking a break in case we were told to stop... We were 14 or so. Never quite sure if we were within our rights or not. My memorable 36 would be at Tobacco Road. 2 reasons - the middle 18 - the back 9 of the first round and the front of the second added up to 69 - the only time I've played 18 consecutive holes in less than 70. My Tiger slam. And - I'd asked about a caddy but there were none. The lady in charge of the food concession had a son who said he'd drive the cart for me so I could walk but not carry (I was alone). For the second 18 he drank 18 cans of beer. Far more impressive than my score.

I haven't had many 36 hole day trips.

Multiple round days.

Here are a few: The Kittansett Club & Woods Hole GC, 27 holes at Cotuit Highgrounds CC & Highland Links GC (lunch between rounds at the Beach Comber - Wellfleet, MA), and a 45 hole day at Sankaty Head GC - Old Siasconset 9 - Miacomet GC.
