Pine Valley or Cypress.  For the life of me I cannot decide which one would be # 1 on my BL.

For the hundredth time mentioned by me, Royal Melbourne.  Come this winter though, I'll need to pick a new #1.  :)

The Old Course at St Andrews - where, fortunately, I will be playing in an hour and a half. Golf has been my obsession for nearly 35 years and visiting here has been my dream. The seagulls are calling outside my window. Time to go.

You must have had some pull, isn't the Bing Crosby or Town Match being played today?

Bob

Hi Bob. Yes sir I was most fortunate to play as a guest of a member of one of the local clubs. I suspect you're also right about the matches as I noticed that most of the afternoon were R&A times.

1. Cypress Point
2.Pebble Beach
3. St Andrews

Hoping to knock number 2 off the list next year with a trip to Monterey. Would be a dream to knock Cypress off the list in the same trip but that may take a little bit more work.

I live in the Middle Atlantic region of the US.

I have to be more modest, meaning close by and no access to privates, in my goals which in turn makes them more obtainable.  They are:
-Old White
-Lower Cascades
-Pine Needles
-Pinehurst No. 2
-Harbortown
-Kiawah

The goals achieved are:
-Tobacco Road
-Ballyhack

Woodhall Spa

Can't explain the overwhelming attraction of this course for me, but its probably the one I would like to see the most right now.

In the US -- NGLA. I think it can teach me more than any golf course I've played thus far. A dream day would be playing National, then walking around the property for hours, and then an emergency 18 as the sun sets.

Row -- Royal Melbourne.

Cypress Point.  If I only have one round it seems like the total package - variety of landscape, beauty (both the views and the finish work on the bunkers), playability (I want to enjoy my last round), some very interesting greens, some special short par 4s, and seemingly great (building) rythm.

Now if I get a penultimate round I would not mind being abused and tackling the hardest greens in the world at Oakmont (plus the history and the sclae of the course would be cool as well).

2.  Jasper
3.  Stone Forest, China
4.  Ellerston, Australia
5.  Arrowtown, N.Z.
6.  Streamsong (Red)
7.  Castle Stuart
8.  Teugega
9.  Mayfield, Ohio
10.  Wolf Point, Tex.

Really, though, the two courses I most want to see before I die are two that I haven't built yet.

Tom,

Do you have sites in mind for these courses?

Of course.  One's at Mulan Bay in China, which I've talked about here previously -- I've done the routing for it and think it has huge potential, but it will be a LOT of work to make it come out as good as I hope it will. 

The other is a still undisclosed location, because I don't have the job yet.  I have not done a routing yet, because I don't have a map and I haven't had much time to walk the site.  But it is an amazing site with unlimited potential.

Thanks for the reply. I hope the job in China starts moving along and the other job comes to fruition.

You'd better, I thought I was your partner next year in the Oakbourne Member-Guest! As for me there are a number of courses on my bucket list but if I could only pick one it would be The Old Course. I don't think I really need to explain myself on that but it's The Old Course, it's the home of golf, heck it is golf.

1) NGLA -- because

2) Royal Dornoch -- because it's Scotland, and north
3) Cabot Cliffs -- because I want to see it built
