ANGC

Just too magical, too historic, too familiar, too elusive.

Mr. Tatum’s Sistine Chapel. Not even close. Maybe because I have walked Augusta so many times as a spectator...

[Terry Lavin]

I’ve played CPC and have walked ANGC. I was capable of playing CPC and have a feeling Augusta would overwhelm my modest game.

[Ian Mackenzie]

Let's see...both are "basically" Mackenzie courses...ok.


One is off of a strip mall laden commercial street in semi-rural Georgia.
The other is on the Pacific Ocean on the Monterrey Peninsula.


Let me think where I would rather be....


One is so elitist that only corporate CEOs and politicians get in and you can't even sniff a round there unless one of them takes you.
The other can be played "unaccompanied" on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before 8:30 am (if sponsored by a member.)


Let me think about that some more...;-)


For me, it's not even close.
CPC in 8/10 rounds.

[Jim Franklin]

If I had one round left it would be Tara Iti or Royal Melbourne.

[David Davis]

What if your hypothetical answer, hypothetical as it may be leaves a virtual thumb print that with a quick google search could be found by the CPC or Augusta members that is thinking of inviting you and you have picked wrong 


Personally I love them both and I'll cross that final round bridge when it comes. 


I may just choose for playing in the cold, wind and rain on a soft wet and muddy course so that I can rejoice in how lucky I was to get to play on so many sunny days on fast and firm courses in life.

[Jim Franklin]

If an Augusta member googles this and finds that I picked Tara Iti or Royal Melbourne over ANGC, then so be it. I will take that chance. And this hypothetical situation asks for the LAST round you would ever play. I would want it in one of those destinations rather than Georgia.

Front 13 ANGC, 14-18 Cypress!!!

[Bob Montle]

My vote is Cypress.  No contest.  Never played or seen either, but played them in my mind many times.

Tim,


Augusta National (sort of)  I would like to experience the elevation changes, bold greens, and holes like 2,3, and 8 on the front nine. I've been fortunate to walk Cypress Point a few times.  Beyond the specific question you posed , given Augusta's alterations I would opt for Cypress 8-2, even if limited to playing CPC  holes one through fourteen !


On my personal bucket list works by Maxwell, Ross and Alison are slightly ahead of Augusta.  Old Town, Plymouth, and Davenport
capture my imagination.


Thanks for this interesting thread

[Jeremy Blumberg]

I have played (very recently, in fact) Cypress Point Club--I have not played at Augusta.


While it would be a dream come true to play at Augusta, given 1 final round of golf, I would choose to play Cypress again. Why? Because I believe firmly that the natural beauty and meeting of ocean and earth at Cypress is so very moving that it is a place I'd like to spend my last moments doing something I love.


Now, I would request a different caddie, but that's splitting hairs!

Jeremy,


Interesting you mention that.  My caddie was the only negative I had in my one visit to CPC as well...

[Jeff Schley]

Hmmmmm..... Miss Universe or Miss USA???   Decisions.........

Kalen, yep, my only negative as well--they clearly were not interested in augmenting the experience, and although we played in less than 4 hours, our group felt very rushed by our caddies. I must say, however, that the golf professional staff were extremely welcoming.

CPC in 8/10 rounds.

You would be loosing out a ton on an unaccompanied 8.30 round at CPC vs. a full guest experience at ANGC. Even if you believe CPC is a better course, unless you get a full CPC invitation with members, the ANGC experience is better.
