Cool golf courses you have played

[Happy Panther]

Brag thread. Go.

 

I haven't really played any stunners.

 

But this one is up there and I played today. It's an old course I have played probably 50 times and it is perfectly set up for a short player like me. You can run the ball up links style on probably 16 holes with no real protection in front. Had a bunch of pars, missed two short birdie putts and then added way to many triples to even disclose my score

 

Sweated my ass off too. walking tomorrow which will be a sweat fest.

Nice. Need a username and password for that link?

I don't have any that are that bad ass. A few of my fav's have been Daniel Island, Pinehurst National, Pawley's Plantation, Caledonia, and Saphire Mountain.

Extra points for cool people in your group?

Played with Rusty Wallace the day before he won his last Martinsville race. Dale Jarrett, who is an outstanding golfer. Gary Player on a course he designed in New Jersey. Was supposed to play in a Pro-Am with now-announcer/former player Notah Begay, but my uncle got that gig when I had a schedule conflict.

I played in Kauai, Hawaii but that was a long time ago and I can't remember the name of the course.

 

Most recently I played at the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club in St. Kitts & Nevis.

Question.

 

I worked with a bunch of South Africans for a while and they all said Player is a bit of a jackass.

 

True?

Out of the golf courses in North Carolina that I think are the best would be the golf course on Bald Head Island which I play every time I go there.

I played in a foursome with him in 1997 which included the GM and president of the board at a private CC on the course he designed. So, I was truthfully the 4th. I did not speak at all to the guy because he struck me as being incredibly arrogant and really expected people to wait on him hand and foot. I don't know the guy at all, but was kind of embarrassed being associated with the group, because you could tell the club employees weren't impressed with him.

The coolest experience that I had at St. Kitts was that I got free weed...

 

All the staffers take smoke breaks and I walked down to meet a guy that I had talked to on the phone when scheduling my visit and they were all down in the cart garage smoking weed...

 

Nothing like the island life.

 

Forgot to mention, on the first picture I posted... I got attacked by a bull on that hole...

 

For God know's what reason, there were f*cking bulls that were grazing or something close to that hole and I hooked my shot to the left and when I went over to get my ball I got charged at... F*cking ridiculous... There was so much wildlife on that course... bulls, mongoose, pelicans.. it was insane.

Yeah they said he was the most self centered arrogant a-hole around.

 

Matches what I have heard.

Hmmm, played Edgewood in Tahoe, very tough.

Northranch CC in Westlake, Spanish Hills CC in Camarillo (played in a Tournament there on the 15th) ,

We got one of the guys in our group with the exploding golf ball trick.

Hey Stan, try out this 7 wood!

 

 

 

 

Cabo Del Sol in well, Cabo.

Sandpiper in Santa Barbara aint too shabby.

 

Jealous of ABH playing Pebble, gotta do that soon.

Anyone played the Barefoot courses in Myrtle Beach. Playing the Norman, Dye, Fazio and Love courses and was curious what to expect? I've played about 20 courses down there but this will be me first time playing the Barefoot package.

As bad as I am at golf, I am not sure you would say I "played the course".  However, I drank beer and hit really bad shots at St Andrews in Scotland last year.

 

Unbelievable course....incredible history....same bad golf from me.

[Darth Biscuit]

I hate all you guys...  

 

Nothing really special here.  I've played most of the nicer courses around Wilmington/Brunswick County.  A few decent ones in Raleigh, Charlotte and the mountains but nothing really of note.

 

I played the ocean course at Daufuskie Island, SC which was pretty cool...

 

 

 

I would love to play St Andrews or Augusta National, but the chances of either of those are slim to none...  :(
