Cypress Point. hands down. It would mean I'd be back in the US, living on the Monterey Peninsula with that great climate. Yes, that's heaven on Earth as far as I can tell. A great place to die!

I'll make it a four at Royal Melbourne, Matt, Ben and Bart. Maybe the greatest combination I know of quality broadly playable architecture, great walkability and year-round climate.

I'd happily grow old there.

Palmetto. Will test you on and around the greens like about nowhere else. Moving up on the tees keeps the abundance of big fairway bunkers and cross hazards in play as you get shorter off the tee. Always an invigorating and unpredictable round to be had there.  You must scrap to score.

Since Huckaby does not post here anymore, I will go ahead and take Sand Hills. I love the variety of holes, the region, and the people that work there.

So you people that pick Sand Hills only want to play 4 months of the year for the rest of your life?

 I love Sand Hills but I gotta go with Cypress Point.

Craig,
54 holes a day for 4 months may be enough golf for the year. MAY!  ;D

Should one not pick a course that can be played every day and not just 4 or 5 months a year.

Using only the courses I have played, which is not particularly impressive, mine is:

I love the fact that you include Wine Valley. You -- among those who have played so many different courses. It tells me that I'm not far off in my high opinion of that golf course.  


Quote from: Mark Saltzman on July 18, 2012, 10:25:06 PM
Though neither is the greatest course I have played, I would probably pick The Prairie Club (Dunes) or maybe Wine Valley because of their elasticity.

If I have to play the same course everyday, why not make it a course that can play 100 different ways.

Commenting on the other thread re: round-breakers, interesting no one has taken the world acclaimed #1 course yet. 

I sure won't: TOC (played); Cypress (dream).

CPC is the obvious choice.

So instead I'll go with PD cause its doable.  I've love to move to Bandon, get away from the rat race, and go out there and play it every afternoon.

I know it sounds repetitive looking at other comments, but Cypress Point would be the one for me.  I've been fortunate enough to play it about a dozen and a half times and it is truly the one place that gets the hair standing up on the back of my neck with excitement every time.  The wonderful golf course and the scenery is hard to beat, plus the hospitality is unbeatable.
If there was a runner up it would be Black Sheep in the western suburbs of Chicago.
