Straits Golf Course at Whistling Straits
Sheboygan, Wisconsin
Playing here is a treat and no matter how you play or what the scorecard looks like, you will enjoy it immensely.
Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course
Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii
Holes 13 and 14 gave me the impression I was playing conditions similar to what the pros face at Pebble Beach
Meadow Lakes Golf Course

Sometimes you just want to go out and have fun on the golf course. Meadow Lakes is that course.
Morfontaine Golf Club - The Morfontaine Course
Mortefontaine, Oise
It's not cheap to play Morfontaine (nor are the others I am playing apparently!) but it's certainly money well spent if you are only going to France once to play golf.
Silverado Resort & Spa - North Course
Napa, California
The famous burgerdog on the course is well worth a try, but save room for lunch or dinner and a glass of wine at the resort. This is what you've come for ... the golf is merely a distraction.
East Lake Golf Club
Atlanta, Georgia
A day at East Lake is hard to beat. From the time you get to the front gate, til you leave, you are treated like a cherished member.

Great Exuma, Great Exuma
I've gotten to play a few PGA courses (public and one private) that have hosted yearly PGA tournaments and majors, but this is my favorite course I've ever played.
