My favorite "new" courses were:

French Creek in Chester County, PA
Raven at Verrado in Buckeye, AZ
Venetian Golf&River Club in Sarasota,FL

How could I have forgotten these:

Black Mesa and PaaKoRidge

Favorite New Course (for me) is a tie between Oakmont and Pebble Beach - I can't decide, but it is a nice problem to have!

Happy Holidays to all, and to all Happy Golfing!

Logged
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
