held, many times. Brother-In-Law a member.

Interesting. In 30 years of playing golf everywhere, I've managed to
play 17 courses on that list. What is even more amazing is several I
believe are missing, to wit:
Golf Club of Illinios, Algonquin, IL
Firestone, Akron, Ohio
Country Club of Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
and The Links at Monarch Beach, CA
Each of those courses is every bit the Top 100 list. As for a
personal favorite you just cannot beat Pinehurst in the fall.

| 2047.4 | The weather was mild also! | LEXSS1::MURPHY | | Mon Nov 13 1995 11:04 | 6 |
| FWIW, I got to play Kittansett(sp) in Marion, MA this past Saturday.
They are rated #58 this year. Beautiful track with narrow fairways,
fast greens and very windy. The course is built on a peninsula in
Buzzards Bay.

| 1st time Noter
I have played Castle Pines in Colorado twice,
the only problem is we have to play in November.
You take your chances with the weather but its a
free golf day for the volunteers
I would also add a course the Kapula Plantation Course in Maui

Hi Tavo,
Good idea for a new topic!
I checked over the list and was surprised that I've "played"
five of the top one-hundred.
Spyglass #34 Sony Playstation
Harbour Town #57 IBM PC
Pebble Links #3 Super Nintendo
Augusta National #2 (actually just a hole or two, in my dreams)
Wannamoisett #47 I really do play this one, with real clubs
at least once a year, really I do, really.
