Is there a more impressive clubhouse at a municipal course in the country than George Wright in Boston?

The 3rd on the South Course gets all the hype at @GolfTorrey but I'm in the camp that thinks the 15th on the North Course is better. Plus, you have to love that Tom Weiskopf reversed the nines so that the most dramatic shots on the course were saved for late in the round.

Australia has an absolutely ridiculous collection of one-shotters, but this one doesn't get talked about enough. #4 @oceandunesgolf

The stunning Tara Iti on New Zealand’s east coast. Certainly one of the best international courses built this century.

I was looking at my notes for my most fun courses and didn't see one section of courses I listed before posting. Some of these would 100% make the list: Gamble Sands, Sagebrush, Cruden Bay, Kingsley, North Berwick, Kingsbarns, and Rock Creek Cattle Co.

It's nice when you don't have the sun cooperating for photos, that the clouds sometimes pick up the slack.

One caveat to the list. The former Prince course used to be my #1 course in all of Hawaii. It is now redesigned and renamed North Shore Preserve, and I haven't played it since opening and so I left it off the list.
