Many great ones to mention, but here are a couple fun ones:

Greatest disparity:  CPC in the AM, Pac Grove in the PM.....Sebonack in the AM, South Fork CC in the PM (Hanse back 9!)

Best Scoring:  Greenock CC (9x2) in the AM 67, Waconah in the PM 71...138.  Shot 140 a few weeks ago at Streamsong, and had a 139 at TOC (72) and Lundin Links (67) a few years ago.  Lowest 36 at Tedesco is probably 142ish.

Most holes:  Rutland CC (45 holes), Bandon Dunes/Pac Dunes/one club (42ish holes)

Time Record...Mid Pines/Pine Needles in about 5h15m on a Tuesday morning.  Also did Crooked Stick and Broadmoor in Indiana from 12:30PM to 8PM once.

Prairie Dunes comes to mind- including "The Match"- an epic battle that will be talked about for years - who knows maybe a book will be written someday? ;)

As Brian's already mentioned, that day at NGLA rivals them all.




Another that occupies my mind is Day 1 of BUDA VIII at Royal Porthcawl. Just an incredible day all around. Best of the best.

Sheesh, I forgot one of the titanic combo platters of all-time, Sand Hills and Dismal River.  Epic.  Soon, however, it will be a 45-hole experience when I get the crew out there in August to add the Doak to the itinerary.

Morning round at Cypress Point, afternoon Wolf game at MPCC Shore.

I would not expect to live long enough to experience very many days even close to that enjoyable.

So far this year I've done 36 at Streamsong (yesterday, actually), which was terrific.  A couple of weeks ago was a very solid 36 at Whistling Straits (Straits) and Blackwolf Run (River).  But the best may be early May of last year with 18 at Kingsley followed by 18 at Crystal Downs with a certain esteemed architect and GCA contributor.  Really a great day.

All of my best 36 (and more) hole days have been played on one course.  I've done several of the better two course combos but none of them have been as satisfying as spending a whole day at one venue, with close friends and/or kindred souls.

I already hit the first two legs at Streamsong and Straits/River this year. Looking forward to the third pairing later this year; the "certain esteemed architect and GCA contributor" is invited to join, of course.

MERION - 36 holes, friendly Springdale vs. Merion match.   Interesting lunch between the nines.

Played and beat my good friend and host in the afternoon with a 77 the best score I have ever had there.  It was super to take seven friends there.  This was about ten years ago.  Perfect early fall day in late September.

Best 36 holes walking site:   CHECHESSEE CREEK CLUB - Okatie SC.   I had three 36 hole days there last year, and two already this year.

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

My all-time favorite, hands down: Royal Melbourne Composite and Kingston Heath

Runners Up:

Shinnecock & National
Merion & PVGC
Brora & Royal Dornoch
Friars Head & Garden City
Quaker Ridge & Winged Foot West
Muirfield & North Berwick
Oakmont  & Laurel Valley
LACC North & Riviera
Royal Aberdeen & Trump Scotland (last summer)
Myopia Hunt & The Country Club
SFGC & Pasatiempo
Lahinch & Ballybunion Old
Nairn & Castle Stuart (last summer)
Royal St. Georges & Royal Cinque Ports

In the late-summer through the end of fall 2001,with nary a human responsibility and the benefit of a functioning left knee, my goal was to try today play 36 every day at wonderful venues. It was easily the most fun year I've ever had with the game.

Next up this fall:

Friars Head & Fishers Island...going away day...followed immediately by a full knee reconstruction!

Sorry gentlemen,

I'm definitely with the 36 on one course guys. The people that brag about doing 36 on different courses are those same people that brag about seeing all of Europe in a week or say something like, we left The Netherlands and did Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and drove back in 3 days. Great, hope you enjoyed it.

Sometimes you have to slow down and smell the flowers or even notice they are there.

St. Andrews/Muirfield
That must be a 90 minute drive.  Between a town with as good a golfing atmosphere as anywhere in the world and one of the great clubs.  I'm afraid that sounds like a recipe for getting less out of both rounds than you should.

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.

Mark I'm totally with you, far better to have the full lunch and 36 at RStG, Rye, Muirfield or The Berkshire or ham, egg and chips and 36 at RCP, West Sussex or a 100 others than gallop around two great courses and miss the ambience of the club.

While definitely not as fortunate as some other, blessed for the opportunities to have experienced these:

SFGC/Olympic Lake
Valley Cub/Valley Club (lovely place to do it, couldn't imagine walking another 3 1/2 times for HHH)
Turtle Bay (Palmer)/Kahuku Golf Links

I don't have a whole lot to choose from, to be honest. The only two that come to mind are Kirtland/Mayfield and Tobacco Road/Southern Pines. My pick would be Kirtland/Mayfield because (a) I walked those courses and (b) Kirtland is awesome.

It's not bragging. To me I just want to share my experience and hope to insight some fun discussion about that and other related topics. I fully believe there's time to do both. I've had some great 36 hole days at the same venue and some great ones at different venues. I don't talk down on those who prefer one or the other
