Re: Five Courses You Most Want to Play

In no particular order :-

St Andrews Old Course - surely everyone who hasn't played there wants to?
Augusta
Loch Lomond
Cypress Point
Shinnecock Hills

Torrey Pines (South)

Played it. Not going back. nice scenery, OK course, dodgy condition and horrific pace of play.

Re: Five Courses You Most Want to Play

Ignoring "world" golf.....

1) Muirfield
2) RCD
3) Kingsbarns
4) Carnoustie
5) Sunningdale (or Loch Lomond)

Chances of playing any?
Muirfield/RCD/Carnoustie.....high (with some luck and £££).
Kingsbarns/Sunningdale......not a hope.

If I could play only one, ever again, then die (?) I guess it would have to be Augusta.

One day I'll pull off a bank raid or multi-million pound fraud -
then I'll play the lot.

More chance of playing Kingsbarns than Muirfield RGDave and frankly I would advise you to play many many places before Kingsbarns.

Good advice. I only put it in there because I'd never be prepared to spend that kind of cash.

If you ask Scots nicely we could come up with a utility bill with a Scottish address and play it for £75 , the SGU website does winter rates at Muirfield

2nd time I played it Steve we booked with this scam despite living in Engerland and they didn't even ask for any proof just took the cash which I think was £60 at the time!

For all you guys wanting to play Carnoustie, here's live webcam footage to let you see what a braw day it is this morning.
I'm pretty sure something could be arranged for a game if you could make your way up also....

I can put up with slow play as long as everything else is ok. What disappointed you about the course? was it the greens?

6 hours for the round.

The course has a lot of up and down so what holes and I just didn't think it looked like it was designed with the same imagination as many lesser courses.
