Best golf course you've ever played

Before this goes much further let just say now: Screw you guys. I ENVY you all and the courses you have played. I have played some nice courses, but nothing on a national scale. I'm jealous as hell of you bastards. I hope you all end up caddying for Jerry Kelly at some shitty muny course in Sheepherder Montana....

 

North America: Oakland Hills
Europe: Royal Portrush

 

I've played the Stadium and Valley courses at the TPC and while both kicked my ass -- except on the par 3s, where I actually made a birdie or two -- I liked the Valley course more. As someone else put it, it's not quite as demanding and to me it was more scenic.

The most stunning part of the Stadium course was looking back behind the blue tees and seeing where the pros play from. Most of the pro tees were about 25-40 yards behind the blues.


Bushwood ain't bad either.
