Cool golf courses you have played

[Sapper]

Spanish Bay and Sawgrass were incredible...Pine Valley is my reigning favorite though.

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.

Suddenly I hate you.......

My dad has his "annual review" at a golf course around the corner from where he lives in Augusta.  Something about his CEO being a member.  He says it almost is enough to keep him from retiring in a few years.  Almost.  To me, it sounds like a cult.  Which is why I don't play golf.

Suddenly I hate you.......

I thought you already hated me...... :beerhat:

 

What was even better is that it was arranged and paid for by our company...we bought a pump company HQ'd in Glasgow Scotland about 18 months ago.  Was over there for meetings and they planned this all day outing to the course.

 

I now understand that my pitiful golf had nothing to do with the crappy courses I used to play....I just suck at golf.

Just golf?

[Anybodyhome]

Cabo Del Sol in well, Cabo.

 

 

Jealous of ABH playing Pebble, gotta do that soon.

 

 

 

Played Pebble pre-Chinese and pre-Clint Eastwood ownership back in the 70's.

 

Vacation in Mexico couple times a year, playing Cabo del Sol next Feb-Mar when I get down there.

Just golf?

 

Yeah...pretty much.

 

I am elite and awesome at everything else.

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.

 

 

 

all are nice, but I wouldn't call them spectacular.  I was playing the Love course one day a few years ago, and I asked a ranger about the Fazio course, and he said the course was closed that day

for one party.....Michael Jordan and his friends.  

[Captain Morgan]

but my favorite golf story was the time me and my buddy Hampton got paired up with a couple of

guys from England.  We're waiting to tee off and introducing ourselves, and when he said

"hi, I'm Hampton",  the guys kind of laughed a little bit.

 

The one said, "no offense, but over where we come from, Hampton is a word for your private parts.:

 

and Hampton said "well over here, they call me Big Hampton."  they laughed so hard they took us out

to dinner that night.

I'll add Spyglass, Spanish Bay and Poppy Hills. Lived in Pacific grove around a mile from 17 mile drive and it was pretty easy to get on those courses. Especially Poppy Hills which was like $25 if you had a certain card.

 

But not pebble. It was $250 at the time and you basically had to walk up at 7:00 a.m. and hope for a single opening. Then when the Open came in 2000 it was $500 to play in the pro conditions.

 

But the hidden gem of the Monterey Bay area was Pacific Grove municipal course which had so many wonderful water views and was cheap.

 

And of course, cypress point which is as exclusive as Augusta. I road my bike around there and may have seen 3 golfers the entire time.

Enjoy.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

I've played the Dye one, it's great.  Don't forget your sand wedge tho.
