[Kyle Henderson]

I had a lovely 36 holes at Ballyneal followed by 36 holes at Ballyneal that afternoon. I think of it as my "2/5ths of a Colton."

[Paul Perrella]

I have been fortunate to do quite a few of the ones mentioned above but obviously there are some really great ones listed that are hopefully down the road. One that I did that I don't think was mentioned was Newport and Wannamoisett.

[David Bartman]

Carnoustie/St Andrews Old
Troon/Turnberry
LACC/Riviera
Prarie Dunes/Flint Hills National

My 40th birthday.  36 hole match with my best friend at Spyglass in the AM, Cypress in the PM.  Was 3 up going into 16, when he hits a cut driver to 18 feet, makes par, then hits the flag on 18 to tie me for the day.  Dinner at the tap room and bottle of Silver Oak ease my pain.  2nd place: Butler/Chicago Golf.

[Mike Wagner]

After playing both courses the last couple days, I'll take Olympia Fields.  36 OUTSTANDING holes.

[Mark Chaplin]

Goldie may choose;

Sleep in car - Shinnecock Hills - lunch - NGLA - sleep in car.

[Jim Beard]

Teed off at Cypress Point at 7:30 am and then drove to the Olympic Club and played that afternoon.  Awesome day!
Charleston Country Club and Yeaman's Hall was also a fantastic day.

On my recent trip at Bandon we were first out on PD, played in 3 hours.  There was a gap at OM so again we played in 3 hours, never running into another group.

A handful of beer with a late lunch at 1:30. followed by a most civilized nap, and then an emergency 9 before watching playoff hockey.  Technically it was 45, but it was pretty sweet even without the 9.

OK: THAT to me is the perfect day. Noone in front or behind, golf on two of the greatest courses on the planet with amazing scenery, a good lunch, bit of a nap and another quick hit at the best time of the day to be outdoors followed by sports on the telly while presumably having more food and beers. Yes, yes, yes!

Ditto, especially for playoff hockey.

I love that you two have both played many great courses,but as you look at all the stories here, a nap is the dealbreaker. 

It was a spectacular day though.

1st off Augusta, foresome.  All 4 players break 80.  Car to airport.  Lunch on the plane.  Private to Monterrey.  Cypress in afternoon thanks to a 3 hour time difference.  All 4 players break 80, 2 break 70.  Dinner at Spanish Bay Inn.  Quality day.

Umm, welcome.  You went yard on your first post.

Thanks.  Been following this site for 5 plus years, did the review with Ran at CC of Fairfield.  I decided I wanted to get involved in the forum a little deeper.  No rushing was involved in the day, but it's really hard to beat.

  late March 1980, 

an am/pm Sunday 36 at Southern Pines CC + twilight golf on their Cardinal 9 hole course down the street from swimming pool... 

first full day of three decades worth of annual Go Carolina Golf Outing (5-7 days of 2+ a day play in the Sand hills)

[Alan Carter]

A few decent one's over the years....

Royal Dornoch/Castle Stuart
Kingsbarns/Old Course
Cruden Bay/Royal Aberdeen
Bandon Dunes/Pacific Dunes
Pebble Beach/Pasatiempo
The National/St.George's
Banff/Jasper

36 holes = tired with sore feet.....but fun!

Your reality just jumped 5 steps ahead of any golf daydreaming I could fathom.

WELCOME!

I'm suspecting my best will be this Friday, but so far it would have to be PD/BT in 2008. Will report back 

[Jeff Bertch]

My best was a few weeks ago:

Lookout Mountain GC in the morning...followed by the Honors Course in the afternoon.

What a mix of old and new in one day. I would also recommend French Lick Resort (Ross/Dye) for same reasons.

*My buddy played Augusta National this year only to fly back and get in a twilight 9 at Seminole.
(Not 36, but pretty darn cool)

Then there's that.  Amazing! I think the Augusta/Cypress 36er was brought up by someone I was talking to about the best 36 hole days, but it was more fiction than anything else.  I'm glad to know that it's not fiction!!  Great story!

[MMcCollins]

BSheehy- I've been very fortunate in my career to play at some of the most amazing places, with a handful of big wigs I shouldn't be hanging with. My 30+ rounds at cypress long make me one of he more privileges humans in America, non member of course.  I have so much to contribute on this site, look forward to the rest. 

[Bill Shotzbarger]

Atlantic City then Aronimink

[MHiserman]

I've got to say it would be Cypress Point in the AM and again in the PM.
It is a different course in the afternoon, right?

[Scott Warren]

One of the great days of golf today.

Started with 18 holes playing a spirited match (won 1up) and whale-watching at NSWGC.

Then a fantastic afternoon round hosting James Bennett at Bonnie Doon, walking up the 18th in this sunset.

Doesn't get any better.

[Jeff Spittel]

We did Brookline and Boston Golf Club last week. I'll put their one/two punch of the Fernando and the Shipwreck up against almost any other combo.
