Hasn't this list been out for a couple months now?

[jkinney]

List probably has been out a couple of months, but other than Ran's thread, I hadn't seen it listed. What pleased me the most was LA North's move into the 2nd ten - which I had predicted here after Hanse's restoration. The only quibble I have with the line-up is Shinny at 4th. IMO it should be on top, as I've stated here before.

That's awfully close to the top 20 courses in the US I'd most like to play.....

[Chris Mavros]

Take Pebble to 9 with Sand Hills below it and move everything below up a spot, flip Merion and Oakmont. Then it'd look just right to me.

[JR Potts]

Add a 0 to the 10 for Pinehurst and it would be fine for me.

Appears Crenshaw,Doak or Dye only have present day architectural relevance.Elevating or comparing totally manufactured courses(Ocean Course,Whistling Straits,etc.) with a natural setting providing elevation with incredible variety(Muirfield Village) seems illogical.Graciously admit Dye as most creative of last (50)yrs, however,why such reticence toward Nicklaus?
