Why didn't you include Punta Espada or Ferry Point? Both should be in any Nicklaus top-ten list.
I missed this was US-only from 2014. I would guess the updated list would include Ferry Point.

Having been a caddie at both Bear's Best courses in Las Vegas & Atlanta (Suwanee), when they opened, I would recommend both of these fine courses, that offer 18 different holes designed from his "best" courses. The added bonus was walking each one with him, when he "officially" opened them!
Pinehill in Plymouth, Ma. is great layout
May River Golf Club at Palmetto Bluff near Hilton Head is super! As much as I love Harbour Town, Dye should probably get 90% of the design credit. Melrose on Daufuskie Island is a nice Nicklaus design as well.
Cabo de Sol. The 3 finest finishing holes in the world!

I agree on The Bull at Pinehurst Farms. Also check out Old Works in Anaconda, Montana. Restore from an old quarry, the bunkers have black slag rather than white sand. And while a golfer has many choices in Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Plantation is a favorite.
The Bull at Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan, WI is another Nicklaus design that is a must play. In the shadows of Kohler, this course really holds up and IMHO is as good as anything at Blackwolf Run.
Looks like I have 9 more to go (played Grand Cypress New)
Now "Pinehurst
#9", National Golf Club is simply superb. Only "complaint" for some
might be that it's very difficult (e.g. holes #1 and 4)... a typical
pre-1990 Nicklaus killer. But very much worth a play if in the area.
Suggestion: skip #2 with its silly greens and play #9 at less than half
the price.
