Sunningdale Old is somewhere I'd never tire of. Love the place and lucky enough to have played it a few times now

I think it’d be Kingsbarns but not really sure why
Haven’t been there, don’t know the layout or standout holes, its just the course name that comes into my head anytime my wife asks me where do I want to play most

I think Rick Shiels said it was one of his favourite courses he's played, so maybe that's why.

Depends on your budget but they normally have a decent stay and play there around oct/nov time. I’m heading up there this year but so far my favourite course I’ve played to far is trump Aberdeen.
A lot say Augusta as there dream destination but for most of us it’s heavily waited on it exclusivity and us mere mortal will never get on. Really want to do the old course because of the history around there

I don’t think I’d want to play my dream course in November, unless it was in somewhere like California.

Not that I have a bucket list but would have always liked to play Wentworth and Sunningdale.
I had a chance to play Sunningdale for free but would have had to pretend I was a fireman, had to laugh because I have to use a buggy to play. Asked by my mate who was a fireman, apparently they get courtesy of the course.

Crans is £163 high seasonI'm lucky enough to have played Turnberry, before the prices went silly. Fabulous place to play, every aspect of it. Clubhouse, pro shop, staff, the course, all top notch and geared to helping you enjoy your time there. There is no advice in terms of the course, it's all there in front of you to see, no tricksy holes to catch you out. The one thing I would suggest, on the 9th hole, lighthouse, go and find the pro's tee. Quite an eye opener.
Courses I'd love to play, Sunningdale in the UK, Crans sur Sierre in Switzerland. Both look gorgeous. One day I'll price them up
That's very manageable, not overly scary. Surprisingly. (All relative of course)

It is unlikely that any place would inspire me enough to part with hundreds of £££s for one round of golf.
Possibly Old Course St A, when I have a can't-take-it-with-you brainwave.
Something that could be a real possibility would be a round here. Not this year or next, but sometime in the next 10-12 years hopefully.
At the moment you can get on for 55 Australian dollars on a weekday. That is just over £26 at the moment as the Ozzie dollar has slumped a bit.

During our honeymoon I was very lucky to play at Wolf Creek, USA. Birdied a par 4. Was a great day and worth the money.
Future camper van and Scotland for a month after I win the lottery!!

Would love to tick off the top 100 in Scotland one day, I’m just about halfway, 43 done I think to be exact, but since Covid probably only done a handful so a long way to go.
Would love a hit around some of the big ones in Ireland/england one day too.

3 and a bit years til my 50th and we’re either planning doing Hilton Head Island and playing all courses, inc Harbor Town or the alternative my FiL knows guys that are members at Winged Foot and Shinnecock Hills that would host us, but it would just be he two rounds so not quite decided which we want to do.

Plus a lot of other top courses nearby, hope you finally get to come out here and visit your brother at Chequer's, and like you said the exchange rate is great for you at the moment.

As it just so happens I’m in the hills outside Perth right now on holiday. That place does look tempting to sneak off for half a day! Any other suggestions? The Vines is nearby but, bar the kangaroos on course, looks less exciting.
If I hadn't played the West course at Wentowrth many times in the past I would hate to have that on any form of bucket list. Stupidly restrictive and over priced and definitely not value for money. I am spoiled with the likes of Swinley Forest, The Berkshire and Sunningdale all very close and the ability to play these through friends

NY every time. There are loads of great public courses in the area (Bethpage etc) that you could add to your trip.
