I went to Mississippi State and they had one of the first PGM programs. The course is great because the PGA gave some money to update the course about 15 years ago. They also have a turf grass management program which helps with great low cost labor. It was $3.00 bucks to walk nine in 1992. I would walk in there with change every day.

4) Ohio State University- Scarlet course is great, Gray course is easier. Jack Nicklaus just made major design changes to the Scarlet course.

The two best I've played were Seminole (Florida State) in Tallahassee and The University of New Mexico's course in Tuscon (it played 7575 yards in 1969).

I haven't played a big time college golf course but I've played Herkimer County Community College. Its a local course in my area. A real nice course overall.

University of Illinois GC in Savoy, IL. the Blue Course is pretty easy and straight forward. the Orange Course is a little more difficult. i've been playing there alot lately because they're open year round and still in wonderful shape.

I've played Florida State, University of Michigan and Rutgers University.

The University of Michigan GC is one of the best golf courses I've played. The greens are unbelievably contoured, and the course, when I've played it was always exceptionally maintained.

Rutgers is a good layout - its close to work and won't kill your game. It is usually very well maintained in the Summer. If you're a Rutgers student I think the rates are very low.

University of South Florida in Tampa...

The Claw!

Nothing to write home about though. But it's a challenging track, no doubt. Not too plush.

It's "THE" Ohio State University.

The Scarlet course is a great course. Both were originally designed by Dr.Alister MacKenzie, one of the greatest architects to ever live.

I have parked my car on the Michigan Golf course. Yes, those fools actually let people park cars on the course during football games.
