Nicest Golf Course You’ve Played

[GMackey32]

Haven't really ever played a nice course to brag about yet, but I have my eyes on a couple of courses down in Florida. Anyone ever golf in the Pensacola area? I'm looking for recommendations (Enter snarky "google it" comment here. I've looked online and read reviews, but also like word of mouth reviews).

Dying to know - do the greens look as splotchy all the time as they did during the US Open, and how did they roll?

If you played it after the US Open you may have heard Dustin Johnson's ghost near 18....can't believe that's been almost five years already.

played it August before the US Open. IT was green and great. They had a drought that spring - that is why the course was so burnt up for the Open.

Harbour Town Golf Links two days after the Heritage. Hooooo boy, that rough.

I've thought about this question since the thread opened. I've played too many courses in too many areas and can't pick one. I've dedicated a good chunk of my life wasting money on golf. I should have picked a cheaper hobby.

Agreed.

I think a more interesting question would be what are your top 10 in Iowa? (presuming most of us here have Iowa roots)

DMGCC - Was lucky to work there for two years out of college. Best courses in the state and now even better after the redesign.

-- Best 9 hole course - Stone Creek in Williamsburg. Do yourself a favor and go play it.

Playing Pine Needles, Dormie Club and Pinehurst No.4 in late July on a dudes trip. Can't wait.
