You wake up to find four text messages on your cell... each is an invite to play PVGC, ANGC, Shinny and Cypress that Saturday morning.  Where do you go?

Depends who the invites are from and/or who I'll be playing with.

However, Augusta National is the "bee's knees" IMO.

I would have to say Augusta as well. I think The other courses are higher on my list of what I think I would love, but the reality is that IF the call to play Augusta came, it is a call that is very likely only coming that one time.

Augusta - because I could relive it every time I see the course for the rest of my life. It is not the most interesting course to me architecturally, in fact it would likely rank 4th of 4. Rather it is the experience and familiarity from a distance that attracts me.

From a purely golf perspective I would most like to play Cypress Point (I have played PVGC already) and obviously would be happy with any one of the messages.

I'm with Stephen. While it's not easy to get invites to the other 3, an Augusta invite is as rare for most as hen's teeth. Plus. it would be great to play on such an iconic course that most of us know so well from TV.

I say Cypress. No real reason as I would be over the moon with any of them.
