The best course I have ever played is Buffalo Run, outside Denver,CO.
But if you are ever in Houston Texas, you HAVE to play the Links at Westfork.
It is a moderate links style course just north of Houston in Conroe. Although it is not the best I have played, it is definitely one of the funnest. If you are heading down there check out their website at:
www.westforkgolf.com. You will not be dissapointed with either of these courses.
