I love the view from the 15th tee at CPC, as many have already stated. I also love the view from the 11th tee at Pacific Dunes. I love the look of that hole probably even more than I enjoy playing it, which is quite a bit.

My personal bias favorite 360 panoramic view encompassing an entire 9 holes of golf is standing on the 2nd tee at Kingsley. I could stand there for an hour just taking it all in.

I think the best view is from the 17th tee at National, down past the green and along the shore of Peconic Bay.


Great call, Mr. D.  I completely agree!

Agree..
Last year was playing this hole with Rymer and a minister friend of ours.  We never tell anyone he is a minister so that we can mess with them.  Well he asked the caddy to take our picture from this exact spot and he proceeds to tell our minister friend that this is the second best view in golf.  The minister responds" well if this is second, what do you consider the first best view?"  The caddy says " when yuo are lining up that putt and you see the blond on the otherside of the green in the gallery sitting there with no panties"  .  Minister responds" well, I guess I stepped into that one."

The bridge at Friars Head is pretty tough to beat.

I don't have any pictures of the view  from Ben's porch at sunset, but I know someone who surely does and I'm hoping he'll help me out by posting one for me.  It's simply magical.

1st tee at Capilano is very hard to beat.
The view from the bar in the men's locker is also world class.

Top of the hill at the 9th at Royal County Down, with the fairway falling down to the floor below then snaking up towards the green with a backdrop of the RCD clubhouse, framed by the Mountains of Mourne further back.

Gonna bury a pot o' gold under the green at the ninth? That'd be a good name for the hole, if we're naming them. ;)

Good call!  Hope we can blow that pic up for the clubhouse!

A drivable par 4, ultimate risk/reward, even with that lowtraj 2 wood!

Chris:

That is stunning.  They call Montana Big Sky country, but I don't know how it can get any better than that.

Great picture.

The 14th tee at Seminole is a great spot in amongst the sea grapes with the beach right there and the wind whipping at your back!

Got you covered Steve and have to agree.

Looking back:


Looking down the beach:


Also is the Seminole locker-room the best "indoor" view in golf? I think I could have spent two full weeks taking everything in there.
