Augusta National with my brother. 
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

For me it is not so much a course but an experience.  I would like to try the Carnegie Shield one year.

I have so many answers to this question, but the course that has always been #1 on my list is Cypress Point. One of the people I was paired up with this weekend at Bandon had played every course on my Bucket List. From TOC, to Cypress, Augusta & PV. It was quite amazing to hear about all of these incredible and extremely exclusive courses he has played. I was in awe.

My top bucket list course was always Royal Melbourne.  However, I did get to play that years ago.  I still harbor hopes of playing all the world top 100.  Now, I figure the top 100 I will never get to play is Royal Durban in S Africa.

Jeff:

If you ever DO make it to South Africa, Durban Country Club is the course you want to see.  Royal Durban GC is three miles away, with part of its course in the middle of a large horse track, and flat as a pancake.

You're not the first to make this mistake.  In the early 1980's, before I became involved, GOLF Magazine listed Royal Durban as one of the top 50 courses in the world, before they realized they had the wrong course!

Well, since my next bucket list type trip will be to the Royal County Down/Royal Portrush area, I guess either of those will do.

Augusta National, hands down.  Having attended the Masters twice and walking every square inch of the property has only intensified my desire to play there.

Courses I hope to see before the next edition of The Confidential Guide:

1.  Banff
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.
11.  Sagebrush, Canada
12.  Himalayan GC, Nepal

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

I played Arrowtown today and just had a blast.  That means I've checked off six of the twelve on my bucket list in the last 18 months -- Stone Forest, Arrowtown, Streamsong Red, Castle Stuart, Wolf Point and Himalayan -- with not a disappointment among them.

I may get to five of the other six before this year is out, but I'd better save one out for a while, just to be sure I don't kick the bucket  ;)

I said the only drop it all on 48 hours notice course is Augusta, but thats all about golf.  My #1 bucket list course would be CPC because I have never been to California and there are a few things I would like to see.

There are 5 for me - not because of their rank or prestige - but because of their historic nature

- Shinnecock Hills
- Chicago Golf Club
- Brookline
- Newport CC
- St. Andrews CC - NY

They are the 5 that started it all

I try to play as many historic courses - not just famous ones- courses that have been here for a long time- good and bad

I've had a good past 12 months knocking courses off, but Cypress Point and Rye are very high on the list now.

Chicago Golf Club

Greatness on a flat clay site ... makes this the most important course that I haven't seen.
I need to understand "how" it was accomplished.

Maybe its because I've played Pine Valley, Shinnecock Hills and NGLA and some of the others are diffcult to get on, but not impossibe. There is no doubt in my mind it has to be Augusta National, the best course in the world and most diffcult to get a chance to play.
