I've seen Austin Golf Club mentioned several times and agree, I'd love to get back there again. The only reason I think it's not Top 100 must be not enough rarer play. It's a really strong, very natural course with landmine greens.

Old Warson, Minikahda, Knollwood, Skokie, Gulph Mills.
                  Some underrated sleepy clubs that are just fun to play,  Jack

Good call on Minikahda!  I went to Minneapolis two years ago for a few days and thought it was fantastic and underrated.

Sleepy Hollow CC - Because C.B. Macdonald courses are so dang fun to play
Pronghorn - Great 36 hole day!
Desert Highlands - Most fun I've had with desert golf
Kapalua Plantation - Played it early on in my golf addicted life and would love to go back and see it after experiencing so many other courses now
Snake River Sporting Club - Because it means that it is out of bankruptcy and operating again!

County Louth (baltray)
It's been a while since I played it, but I remember having such a lot of fun playing it.

Elie
How can you not love a course that starts with the Starter using a periscope to determine if you can hit away. Plus, I highly recommend jumping over the fence on the 4th tee (I think) to grab a wee dram at the local pub before continuing on.

Sylvania CC
Wonderful Willie Park Jr layout in Toledo that could do with some tree clearing.

Saddle Creek GC
Fun course in Gold Country in the Sierra foothills by Carter Morrish.

Bucknell GC
Generally, when there wasn't snow on the ground, I was out playing. Having played (probably) 400 rounds over four years and none since 1999, it would be fun to get back out there.

Kington, Pitreavie, Papago, Berkhamsted and Castle Combe.
Cory, weird, I had just been thinking about this thread, and that I would put Charles River in my 5 now, having played it earlier this year.  In fact my 5 would show a fair bit of change:

Kington, Charles River, Pennard, Berkhamsted, Leven Links.

I haven't included Elie or Crail, since I know I'll be back at both soon.

In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

Ben,

Good call on Royal Worlington, I was thinking about it only earlier today.

And I missed off Cavendish, but The Yank Arble has already mentioned there...

As I said, too many to choose from and certainly more fun than discussing those in (any) top 100!

Cheers,

James

Sand Hollow in Utah.   Some of the best views and holes anywhere

Oak Hollow Hight Point NC.  Relive some of the many rounds played during college. Bonus if we could get same four guys together.

Oak Hill West.               Great preserved course and fantastic greens.

Westhampton CC.         I am a sucker for Punchbowls greens and short par 4's.

Friar's Head.                 I feel like it is cheating that one of my top 5 is not in the top 100, but I get to use it here.

1)  Ballyhack - One of the best overall experiences I've had.  The atmosphere, the breath-taking vistas, the variety of challenges - I could go on for hours about this course.  I think this deserves to be on the "Top 5 RANKED Courses" I want to get back to, but no matter.

2)  Leatherstocking - My introduction to Devereux Emmet.  A pleasant surprise - I was smitten by the time I had reached the 3rd tee.  I know when it's special when I talk about "feeling" a course, rather than "playing" it.

3)  Bethpage (Red) -  Falls victim to being built next to the Black, but I'd give the Red's 1st and 18th holes the nod over its Black counterparts.  Also, if I'm there, there's a good chance my planned "Bethpage Tour" trip has been scheduled.

4)  Tobacco Road -  Love it or Hate it - you're certainly not bored.  Each time I play I find something new, whether it be a hidden challenge or yet another Love It / Hate It characteristic.

5)  Coudersport Golf Club -  Quirky little course in Northwest Pennsylvania that is as fun as any I have played.  Drivable Par Fours and reachable Par Fives, all with significant potential penalties.  Throw in mountainside elevation changes and one of the coziest 19th holes, and I'm appalled at myself for not making the 100 minute drive happen in several years.

Francis Byrne Golf Course
Galloping Hill Golf Course
Weequahic Park Golf Course
Hendricks Field Golf Course
Flanders Valley (Red-Gold, White-Blue)

Grew-up playing those as a 12 yr old to 20 yr old and never really appreciated how unique they were.  Haven't played them in 20 years.

Need to take a drive to visit Mom a few times this spring and play them again.  Great memories.
