Cape Kidnappers NZ - Awesome!

Punta Espada, Cap Cana, Dominican Republic

Including Bill Clinton in a golf magazine is insulting. He is a liar and a cheater, the antithesis of a golfer.

A little testy there Dave.. Anyway I will skip the obvious ones and pick one a little off the beaten path and say The Links of North Dakota. If you haven't played it quit laughing. It's almost as good as Pacific Dunes, but you don't need to line up a tee time months ahead of time.

Thx for including The National Golf Club of Canada. It is a Fazio jewel and it stands the test of time. Visitors from around the world marvel at its strength and its relentless nature. Try it!

Kiawah Ocean Course...beautiful, challenging, but very playable. Frankly, it is a perfect golf course!

The best 9 hole course in the world, Glenbrook on Lake Tahoe

El Camaleón Golf Course at the Mayakoba Resort located in Playa del Carmen Quintana Roo Mexico.
P.S. Chill out dave! He cheated on his wife vs. not counting all his strokes.

Harbor Shores in Saint Joseph MI. Jack Nicklaus put his signature on this place. Saint Joseph is voted one of the top vacation destination getaways in the world.

Caledonia fish and golf club, pawley Island SC is one of the most scenic courses I have ever played, and I have been blessed to have played many great courses around the country and overseas.

Ticonderoga CC, Ticonderoga NY is the best. Par 71 in fabulously beautiful mountain valley where French and Indian and revolutionary War battles took place. Hallowed gropund for Empire, Nation, God & Golf!

No 4 is a 500 yard par 5 with two blind shots leading to a coffee table size green surrounded by water.

I've played the world, but Spyglass is #1; it has everything. Close 2nd: Coeur D'Alene, ID

Old Head Golf Links in Ireland, absoultely unreal, whole golf course is on pennisula and holes that run along the cliffs are amazing. http://www.oldhead.com/

Ridge CC in Chicago. Best greens anywhere, and a great test of golf. Oh, and Andy North shot 84 in a Senior Open Qualifier here a couple years ago. Come play it, you'll see why its so good.

Hamilton G&C, The Machrie, Carne or really any sea side links in Scotland or Ireland

cape kidnappers new zealand 1st, taman dayu indonesia 2nd

A Robert Trent Jones course in Wichita Ks. I learned to play there as a boy. It now belongs to the local university and I still get to play there, at senior rates! Crestview CC now Braeburn GC
