My list from last year, with Yale swapped in at the 10 spot:
1) Jeffersonville-4 (Ross chain bunkering—firm handshake)
2) St. George’s-4 (use of steep slopes for bunkering and strategy--I could have picked four of five from this course, which makes me want to go back to Toronto again!)
3) Country Club of Rochester-4 (making a short par four tough)
4) Swinley Forest-3 (shelf greens!--another course with a bunch of great uphill holes)
5) Dismal River-3 (horizon green, centerline bunker)
6) Mountain Ridge-5 (when short par fives are tough)
7) Yeamans Hall-4 (the bruising long par four)
8. Ballyneal-5 (all bunkers are there in front of you—steep green)
9) French Creek-4 (lay out the strategy, punchbowl green)
10) Yale-4 (epic architecture at at its best--and how about that green?)
11) Merion (West)-4 (Flynn at his best)
12) Lederach-5 (driver-three-wood-three-wood)
13) Oak Hill (West)-4 (Ross on rolling land--could have picked 13 East too!)
14) Rolling Green-3 (a classic Flynn par three)
15) Garden City-4 (obscured view for the second shot)
16) Schuylkill-3 (an uphill short par three)
17) Teugega (classic Ross routing, down then up more to a wild green)
18) The Country Club-4 (a great test for the finish)
And a four-pager on the same topic:
