Pat, while it might not be in my top five, Lido is certainly in my top 20. I played it only once, but it is a course I want to play multiple times a year. I played Lawsonia with a Lido member. He is also a member at Shoreacres. He feels Lido is head and shoulders better. I wouldn't go that far, but the course is brilliant. CB used all his considerable skills and imagination to create this golfing wonder.

The Lido is really cool. I played it twice this year and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a very interesting and fun course. One that I look forward to playing again for sure.
My comment derives from the number of comments, such as Tim's, immediately putting Lido in the same class as some of the greatest ~10-20 courses in the world like RCD after 1 play.
I think it's pretty well documented that most resort guests rank the Lido as their least favorite course at the resort. So I find it interesting when so many on GCA are 180* from that sentiment and think it's Top 20 in the world. Certainly worth some frank discussion? :) [size=78%] [/size]
