County Down is a wonderful place -- all the 9's in my book are wonderful places -- but it's a bit intimidating for most golfers. And I wouldn't agree with Ted that County Down [or Pebble Beach, or practically any other course] has more great holes than Cypress Point or Crystal Downs or Dornoch. I'm starting to wonder if I agree with Ted about anything.
Tom,
My list of "great golf holes" at Royal County Down would include 11 holes (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,13, and 15). I know we won't agree on how many great holes they have there (indeed, we aren't agreeing on much lately
), but I don't get to 11 "great golf holes" at CD. Being your home club, you likely consider that course in a different light, so let's move on to Cypress Point (but I'd be interested to see if you list more than 10 "great holes" at CD).
My list of "great golf holes" at Cypress would include 8 holes (6,7,8,9,13,15,16 and 17).
