If I had to pick favorite courses, the #1 would be Augusta National. I've never played it and I've only been on the grounds once when it was lightly covered with snow, but just from playing it on a video game and seeing it on tv, it's my favorite and someday through the grace of God, I hope to find a way to play there.
Back in 1966, I got to play on a junior team on most of the famous courses in Great Britain. Like most people, I didn't immediately take to the style of course setup, but came to love it and now remember those courses more fondly than I did at the time. I was enthused about St. Andrews simply because I knew some golf history and I felt like I could see the ghosts of every great golfer walking the course with me... though I doubt too many of them ever hit their golf ball into some places I did that day.
Anderson Creek, a Davis Love design near Pinehurst, is a course I have played twice and absolutely love and appreciate on a variety of levels. It is playable for every golfer, enjoys wonderful maintenance and conditioning, greens that accept a shot well struck and it allows you options to approach the green with little water or sand immediately in front of a green forcing you to play a specific type of shot.
The Standard Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky. I grew up there and while it will never make the top 100 in Golf Digest, I simply have too many fond memories of that place.
Favorite Course + Why
A bad day on the golf course is still better than a good day at work.
