I agree with Russ that Juniper is wow, as are 2 other John Harbottle Washington courses.Olympic course at Gold Mountian in Bremerton and Palouse Ridge in Pullman. All 3 are great value, great design,and great fun to play.
No way that Pine Dunes in Frankston, TX, is not on this list.
How is Bethpage Black not on this list? Major championship course under $150 for non residents and $75 for residents.
I’ve played 3 of the 4 courses listed in Michigan. I haven’t played Holly Meadows. I can say that the value is great and the courses are always in great shape. You can’t beat the values Uber $40 during the week. One other one is Leslie Park in Ann Arbor senior rare is $25 m-f and was was rated in the top ten on another survey
Meadow Lakes at #9 is way over rated for value. It’s flat with lots of water. Closely spaces holes and not a lot of interest. It’s low cost, but it’s not worth the $$$.
A much better value in the area is Juniper Golf in Redmond. You wil play it and go WOW! This is a muni???
Forrest Oaks CC in Greensboro NC should definitely be on this list. A former PGA stop which can be played for under 50$. Are there any other PGA quality courses for this value?
Very surprised there are no great value CA courses. I play some beautiful CA courses every week for under $50.
Stoughton Acres, near Butler, PA, shouild be on this list.
