What's your ideal golf course have?

Not necessarily the toughest, but if you had unlimited funds what would you insist the designer put in?

me, I'm thinking a huge clubhouse with a few five-star restaurants and a hotel attached so I could catch a nap and then go back out on the course at night with the huge headlights put on!

Yeah, I'd have a huge clubhouse, but other than that I am not really sure.

Definitely the course would have to be designed to fit in with the sorroundings, and I would also like a course that has a lot of variation in terrain (such as hills and slopes, not just a flat fairway). And plenty of places for shade... and water taps at every tee.

I would have to say no sand traps a nice long clear places to hit the ball as hard as you can. It would also have to have golf carts.

*unlimited money, Bill Gates style*

Top of the line clubs with free trainers for everyone who plays more than 10x a year.
Bar at every other hole for soda, beer or other
Clubhouse which is a dance club/bar at night
Ladies, FREE. For everything (yes, im thoughtful)
Sandtraps, sure. But you get points for getting the ball into them
Golf Carts, all with radios, maybe small tvs.

Then, id also try and go more new age. Gold Games in the clubhouse, or in the carts like tiger woods. Play the real course live, and play it on Xbox.

Ok, i know im stretching it all. I think the #1 thing i would add to any current golf course is the lowering of rates at those exclusive clubs

you guys are full time slackers

id go for a course with perfectly smooth greens, which are reasonably receptive.

lots of water and bunkers but little rough and few trees

oh, and lots of hills around the greens

I'm with you, choppa. The game is life; the clubhouse is the afterlife

I'd also have to say that a lot of greens with interesting slopes and dips would be fun, as well as many shots over the water. I might be a little sadistic, but I like watching balls hitting the water. Maybe though we could have a little boat with a portable tee on it so you'd have to take your next shot from the spot in the water where your ball entered? That would be more interesting.

Oh yeah, the ideal golf course should also be located in a beautifully scenic area, not just surrounded by houses or trees.

I'd have a huge clubhouse with amazing food, and my fairways would always be cut to absolute perfection. The greens and tees would NEVER be cut up as well. I'd also add a lot of nice water hazards throughout the course and well as some of those nicely designed sand traps (like you see in the PGA).
