Here's a list, in no particular order, to get you started. Please give reasons for your disagreements.
1. Old Course, St Andrews
2. Royal St George’s
3. Carnoustie
4. Royal Portrush Dunluce
5. Royal Co Down
6. Ballybunion
7. Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers
8. Royal West Norfolk
9. St Enodoc
10. Royal Cinque Ports Doesn't add anything to the links already mentioned
11. Royal Dornoch
12. Kingsbarns
13. Sunningdale Old Either Swinley of Sunny has to go - same concept
14. Swinley Forest
15. Woking
16. Royal Porthcawl Portrush is a better Colt champ redo
17. Ganton
18. Gleneagles King’s
19. Silloth-on-Solway Good course, but architecturally insignificant
20. North Berwick West
21. Turnberry Ailsa I don't see how it adds anything to the table
22. Royal Liverpool Unsure of
23. Saunton East I don't see how it adds anything to the table
24. Walton Heath Old
25. Woodhall Spa Hotchkin
Mark
Its a good list, but I knock out the above and add
Lahinch - for reasons already mentioned
Huntercombe - great linking architecture that can be copied anywhere
New Zealand - outstanding bunkering on flat land
Rye - just play it
Kington - great way to cope with a hilly site
Prestwick - champ course with some decent quirk remaining
Painswick - dumps the idea of yardage and par on its head
I think there has to be a way to get Pennard in there. I suspect that one of either Woodhall or Ganton I would axe, but I haven't seen Ganton to know.
I would probably look for a way to get Formby in there as a links thru the trees, but I don't know what should get the axe - I suspect it would be Kingsbarns.
