Almost all the courses listed here CAN be played, just get there and pay the money. The one that I will probably never be able to play and most on this thread can’t is Augusta National.

I did play Turnberry on the western coast of Scotland (Nicklaus and Watson duel) , the Pebble Beach of Scotland. Also played Plantation Course at Kapalua a few times.

Favorite hole was the 12th at Manale Golf on Lanai

Of course Augusta National would be on top of courses I would like to play. The course I would want to play again just for the beauty of the course would be Quivira in Cabo. Just some stunning holes on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific. A few gimmicky holes but every hole has a view on the ocean and the best comfort stations in golf. Pebble Beach is a better course but Quivira is much more beautiful.

How did you get on Pine Valley? Do you know a member? I guess you must.

I had the great luck to play at Winged Foot in Westchester County, NY back in 1988. I really couldn't fully appreciate it, since I was not a very good player then (only a little better now...). I remember, when I took a sizable divot on the 1st fairway, I replaced the divot and noticed the grass and soil were more like what you find on a typical green. Every fairway was very similar to that. Impressive!

Number 8 at Pebble

Default Augusta

I was lucky enough to play Augusta three time.........

Once with Arnie, once with Jack and once with Tiger. Each round better than the last. But, they all ended in the same way..... I woke up!

Son and I played Pebble Beach a few years ago. Very tough course with the small very fast greens. Loved every hole but 7, 8 and 18 were my favorites.

I probably will never play it again, just due to cost and want to go to other parts of the world to travel and golf.

Next on the list is New Zealand's Cape Kidnappers, similar views
Excellent choice of courses. Please make sure to play CK's sister course Kuari Cliffs a little up the coast from there. That is the most beautiful course that I've played. Kidnappers is a brute, Kuari is a beautiful siren.
I've walked Augusta at the tournament but would love to play it. My favorite hole has to be no. 8 at Pebble. My birdie there is a wonderful memory.

Yes. Must have some avenue through a member.
