Is Cabot Links ranked anywhere yet?

Mac,

I believe Cabot just recently made the Golf Digest Top 30 in Canada list.

How about Wolf Point?  I've never played it but I hear great things from those who have.

Andy...

Isn't that just U.S. courses?

Mac,
Yes...I only track the US lists. I haven't traveled internationally, so I don't put the effort into getting the world lists into the spreadsheet. Maybe someday! I didn't add up how many courses in total were on the list I posted...maybe 500. The GolfWeek lists cover most of them, but Digest still has quite a few to add to the 400 from GW.

Good call to those of you that have mentioned Rock Hollow, Gold Canyon, Pine Canyon, Adam's Mountain, and Idaho Club. Those are all worthwhile courses that I thought about for my list. I really wanted to make room for Sultan's Run as well.

1. Wolf Point- You must be there to really understand it.

2. Old American- See above

3. Prairie Club Pines- Very cool course and I like it much more than it's neighbor. Feel like you play a few different courses throughout.

4. Blaketree National- I hope it reopens, should be the best public course in Greater Houston.

5. Waterwood National- The homeowners are working on bringing it back to life.

6. Roman Nose State Park- The quirkiest course in America.

7. The Wilderness- The underrated Brauer muni that doesn't get it's just praise.

8. The Bandit- Keith Foster on steroids.

9. Barton Creek Cliffside (C&C) Overlooked because of it's Fazio siblings on site. Wonderful natural greensites.

10. Cottonwood Creek, The Waco muni that would be a gem if in a bigger city.

I listed 10 previously and a few in Ireland that fly below the radar and are very good. Others lists are fascinating to review.I want to comment on two courses mentioned by other posters.

Sam Morrow listed Wolf Point.  It is completely extraordianary. The most interesting and strategic golf course I have played in the US. You would have to play it again and again in different winds to start to really know it. It is Mike Nuzzo and Don Mahaffey's (and the owners) complete masterpiece, a first opus of imaginative design featuring all of the best elements of great golf strategy. It also incorporates efficiencies for maintenance and irrigation that are cutting edge. A more fun and interesting course I have yet to encounter anywhere. Didn't include it as it is the most private of the private.

Corey Lewis listed Schuylkill CC and I want to comment on that as well. It's 10th hole is one of the best skyline holes anywhere and the rest of the course has all of the bones in place for it to be one of the top courses in its region. It needs a serious tree trim and some bunker restoration and it could vault way up peoples lists. Schuykill shows Ross at his best on a topographically challenging site as the course is routed over a large hillside. If you are ever in central PA, it is worth it to play this course. It's about 35 miles west of Allentown home of the superb Lehigh CC.

I'll speak up for Montana since however great RCCC is it isn't the only worthy course in the state!

Black Bull - Weiskopf on a flattish piece of property with a fair amount of subtle movement in the land.  Lots of good holes and interesting greens.  Was supposed to be surrounded by houses but since they aren't here yet (!) it sits nicely in the surrounding landscape.

Stock Farm - Fazio. great club, lovely views, interesting holes.

and how about

The Golf Club, Scottsdale - Morrish.  Very cool piece of property (particularly in contrast to almost everything else in the area.  Really good greens.

and I'd second True Blue and Ballyhack, already mentioned above.

The Bridge: Did not see it on Andy's no fly list. Very good course, getting better

Bryan Park Champions, Greensboro NC: Never understood why this course was not more highly thought of.

Oak Valley, NC, a very good course that is walkable and affordable.

Rivermont, great greens, awesome course

Nassau CC: Very good old course, got all new greens this year, excited to see if they fixed the ninth hole.

Barefoot landing Dye course: I think it is the best course on the property, a lot of fun holes.

Bethpage Red: Great course, overshadowed by its neighbor.

Sand Hollow: Very good, with some great eye candy.

Cherry Valley, Garden City, NY:  Classic design and greens

Pine Knolls, Kernersvile, NC: Not much to say about this course except it was cheap enough for me to play  a ton of times in college, so it makes my personal top 10!

can't think of 10 worthy to consider off the top of my head.  but

Kebo Valley in bar harbour maine.   been there forever.

Blue Canyon on phuket in thailand.  the canyon course.  great property.  some really outstanding holes.  probably in top 10 thailand, but that's somewhat like saying top ten in south dakota  :P

Indiana CC (PA) is a course i've brought up before.  willie park layout.  great course.  have to move shots both ways.  long holes and short holes mixed.  great greens - slope & speed.  better players i've listened to say it's a great match play course cause every hole is a birdie hole - though i'm not sure i've ever par'd the par 4 2nd.

Ten UK 18-hole courses somewhat underneath the radar so unlikely to be included in any top 200 lists, certainly not international lists, that I'd like to play (or play again) -

Fortrose & Rosemarkie, Scotland - links on a narrow peninsula, dolphin watching as well
Fraserburgh, Scotland - links, 7th oldest golf club in the world
Yelverton, Devon, England - moorland by Herbert Fowler
Frilford Heath (Green course), England - lovely heathland
Rolls Of Monmouth, Wales - scenic and challenging parkland
Minchinhampton Old, England, on common land, including cattle & horses
Tadmarton Heath, England - lovely heathland
La Moye, Jersey - links
Royal Guernsey, Guernsey - links
Powfoot, Scotland - links/heathland

All the best

Been thinking about this for a little bit now and can't come up with 10.  But I can add two.

Kauai lagoons, Lahina, HI - best course on Kauai IMO, even though I love the prince course.
Bear Dance Golf Club, Larkspur, CO - reminds me of the non ocean holes of Spyglass every time I play it.

I've taken Andy's list and added in the GW Top 40 for GB&I (both modern and classic), the GW Top 10 from the Caribbean and Mexico list, the GW Top 25 from the Canadian list and all courses that appear on the GM Top 100 World.  I'll post the entire list later today after I find more information on continental Europe, Asia/Australia and South America.  If anyone has ranking lists for those areas, please send them on.

Foulpointe is not on the list.  However, there are a few suggestions from earlier in the thread that would be disqualified.

Sam,

I would include Westwood Golf Club -- Houston, TX -- Keith Foster on your list above Cottonwood and Cliffside.  I know you are well versed in Houston golf. Thoughts on Westwood?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't played Westwood, I know, that's bad. I am the President of the local chapter of the Keith Foster fan club though. I could put Texas Star on that list and not worry. Bill McBride has gotten me on the BC Cliffside kool-aid. Cottonwood is fun and one year in a tournament I shot 30 on the back.
