I may have to come up with my own for the Philly area...sensitivity aside, isn't this the type of unvarnished, opinionated information many of us enjoy about this site, and what was a big part of the appeal of "The Confidential Guide" in the first place?

Sure there are alot of courses in the Chicago area that stink, aren't interesting, and not much fun to play on their own. But if invited, I can't imagine claiming sickness instead of playing golf.

Except Ravinia Green and Royal Melborne, those are terrible.

Yeah, I kind of assumed the title of the list was a bit tongue in cheek.  It's certainly a bit more chuckle-worthy than "Courses that aren't very good".  But I'm sure Paul realizes that there's more that factors into the decision to accept an invitation to play than simply the quality of the course.

Personally, my position on playing accepting an invitation to play golf is pretty similar to my position on beer.  You won't find any Miller-Lite in my refrigerator, and I'm not going to order a mass produced domestic if we go out to a bar, but if you're providing, I'll drink whatever you choose to put in front of me.  I have my own list of courses I'm not particularly fond of, but if you set up a game and make a tee time, I'm probably going to show up to play. 

I don't know...it can be tough to accept a Milwaukee's Best (the Beast).

I agree re: the beer analogy.

If George Dunn is Miller Light, what does that make Chicago Golf? The Dark Lord??

Lol....just got home from 3 Floyds 5 mins ago!

And? What did you get?

They have a few new beers....never get the standards when I visit.  However, I'm very lucky to live 20 mins away so we can drop by to eat in the brew pub fairly often.  Anywho, they have "Jinx Proof" which is an easy drinking ale and a Japanese style beer called "Gold Leader", which should have all the Star Wars fanboys in a tizzy.  Both are very nice. 

I'll be at Dark Lord Day most likely too.

Shivas,

There is indeed a fine art to criticism.

And you and I both know it starts with a willingness...nay, an insistence, to ruffle feathers.
