Met Golfer magazine's choice in their best of the best (several years ago) was Garden City Golf Club. I have always loved that logo. I also believe that the logos of Winged Foot, Quaker Ridge and Baltusrol belong on any ten best list. ::)

A big yes to Fishers Island.  The old Country Club squirrel was pretty neat too.

I love the two geometric hummingbirds of Castle Pines Golf Club.  I also like the Cherry Hills logo.  Finally, Spanish Oaks in Austin Texas is a very nice understated logo.  None give any hint of the significance or orgin except to those in the know.  The worst I have seen to date is Flint Hill National in Wichita.  Might as well install a friggin neon sign on every golf shirt sold in the pro shop.

The worst logo I've seen is from  The Links at Twin Towers.
The logo sported the two massive nuclear reactor cooling towers that apparently dominate the course's background.
Fortunately, they've changed their name to something else.

bringing back this oldie cause I had my shirt from the Dunes Club on today:  the "D" is a bent golf club, very cool

I also really like my hat from Five Farms:  anything with a pre-1900 date is automatically great, I'd think...

Wow...this thread is old!  Good point, Paul-"Old" is oftentimes very, very good.  

Preferably, any logo that doesn't have the club's name on it.  If it doesn't have a golf club, or golf balls, or any reference to golf, even better.  In my closet, my Burning Tree shirt is a favorite for that reason.  

Wayne Freeman and I thought The Creek's was interesting (Piping Plover) although it has a golf club.  Fitting to the club.

My opinion is the best are the most understated.  As I get older I find I like logoed items less and less.

Without reading the thread... I like Schuylkill CC's and Philly Cricket's.

Doug likes their flags  ;)

I wonder if Pat's opinion of the Sand Hills LOGO has changed?   :)

Merion's logo has always been the best for me
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

I think it all starts and ends with the R&A logo.

I have to give The Emperor his due as the Friars Head logo is my favorite with Merion a close second. Castle Pines is also a pretty cool logo.

Redanman,

The logo of the Redtail Hawk is not that of the once ultra exclusive RedTail Golf Course near St. Thomas, Ontario.  It does look very close to Red Tail Landing Golf Club's logo in Edmonton, AB but alas it is not exactly the same.  If I could finally figure out how to post pictures I would show you the difference.

now that we are in the midst of summer re-run threads  here are some of my faves. I omitted any Indian themed logos - but if had to pick my fave from that genre it would have to be philly cricket club

Merion - undisputed champion imho -the logo that all others should aspire to be

fishers island
chicago golf club - their motto  "far and sure" earns  bonus points
myopia hunt club
walton heath
lahinch - unlike the logo this course is hardly a goat track
the country club - squirrel logo
yale -"biting bulldog"
sleepy hollow - headless horseman
indian creek
maidstone - whale logo
creek club
ngla
atlantic city - the bell and the date works just fine for me
philly country club - the weren't "horsing" around when they designed their logo

I believe the bird of prey logo is East Hampton Golf Club (C&C) or South Fork CC in Amagansett, NY
