Did anyone come to Nee England for a look?
edgewater golf club in lancaster,sc. the best bang for your buck.
Ummmmm. Torrey Pines?
No Poppy Hills? No Spyglass Hill? You kidding me? No Bear's Best outside Atlanta, GA? You guys play anything anybody knows?
Bethpage Black is top 10 and didn't make the list what a joke
What are you smoking?
Omitting The Blue Monster relegate s this list to a paid for ad campaign. Bush league.
So many what's that courses. Blue Monster, Spyglass Hill, Bethpage, none of the Bandon OR courses in the list. I'll leave it to the top pros and sportswriters to make these lists. Much better representation of the best courses.
Caladonia. South Carolina, True Blue. South Carolina, Tidewater. South Carolina, ( I find it hard to believe that not one was mentioned in the Myrtle Beach area).
Ram's Hill #4.. There last week.. Not even in top 200.. Pretty mediocre.
Could not agree more maybe not in the top 300 that one is a clunker for sure
How about a list of the Top Courses under $50, by State, for us weekly hackers that never pay those kinds of fees?
