So what we're saying is, Ross' 10 designs that you should see can be narrowed down to about 150.

[Chris DeToro]

I was just thinking that…I've played a lot of Ross courses but really feel as though I haven't scratched the surface.  I could probably name 10 within 3 hours of where I live!

My documentary film "DONALD ROSS:Discovering the Legend" will be ready for shipping this upcoming Monday, Dec.2nd. It is one hour 55 minutes long, plus another 30 minutes of DVD extras. You can order at www.donaldrossfilm.com

Based on what I learned from folks I interviewed for the film (Doak, Franz, Ran, Buie, Dodson, Klein, Crenshaw, Farren, etc.) and folks I met along the way in the course of making the movie, I'd have these 10 on my Wish List.

1. Seminole
2. Holston Hills
3. Plainfield
4. Roosevelt Warm Springs
5. Inverness
6. Aronimink
7. Roaring Gap
8. Carolina Golf Club
9. Old Elm
10. Westbrook

Because we don't live near Minnesota?

Andy, My guess is Interlachen , like WBYC , Skokie, Oakland Hills, and Beverly are some of the more popular Ross designs in the Midwest. For those of us who live here , we have played each of these several times. Exploring outside your locale was kind of my point in starting the thread. I consider myself pretty well traveled and yet there are probably 100 more Ross designs I hope to play in my life. Just my perspective .

[Sven Nilsen]

White Bear should probably be on the list of 10 Watson Designs on Your Wish List. 

Perhaps we need a thread on the 10 Ross Remodels on Your Wish List, or in the case of Skokie, the 10 Ross Remodels that were subsequently improved by Langford & Moreau.

[Andy Troeger]

You guys may be right, but I think some posters just looked at the other lists and picked 10 that looked interesting. Since Interlachen wasn't listed to begin with, it wasn't chosen later either. Just my theory, unless it is that much easier to get on (or less appealing) than WBYC and Northland, both of which were listed at least a few times.
