2- What course would you most like to play and why?

My favourite course I've played is Tulfarris in Ireland - it is set on the edge of a lake, and although it's relatively new, it has beenbuilt around the landscape, so is full of mature trees (and also I was on holiday,which always helps)
I would most like to play one of your american courses- I don't know them too well - maybe Augusta?
My favourite course, I guess, is Horseshoe Valley in Canada - that's where I learned to play, and it is a nice little track. I also like very much Surrey National near home, although I am fully aware it is never going to be in the top 100 of anything.
Like to play - so many to list, but for me probably a tie between Pine Valley and Augusta, mainly for the exclusivity aspect. Of ones that are realistically possible, I'm quite keen on Doonbeg, Greg Norman's Irish links - that looks amazing.
My favorite is this small little course in North Carolina, Waynesville Country Club. Not too difficult, but has some tough holes so you feel like its challenging enough but you can still post a good score.
- Best course I have ever played is Shinnecock Hills. An absolute dream round of golf, so pure. Hard to explain. Each shot was so fair. You hit a good one, you are rewarded... you hit a bad one, you are punished. It is the way golf was meant to be, in my book.
- I would like to play Augusta, Pebble, Winged Foot, Royal County Down, St. Andrews... well, you get the point!
Played: PGA West Stadium Course. I must defeat that crazy 237 yard par three surrounded 3/4s by water. Besides that, It's just a great top-notch course. Last time I played I was 2 under after 5, then... the above mentioned par 3
Want to play: Riviera Country Club. I've gone to the LA Open as a kid/adult so many times. The course is awesome. I hope to be pro when I do play it My first win at that.
1- The Rick Smith Signature Course at Tree Tops because it was the best up north course I have ever played.
2- Pinehurst #2 everyone tells me it is just as good as the other courses there but I want to play where Payne Stewart won.

The company that owns the course I work on also owns Pinehurst Resort. I'd be able to play if I ever get out that way. The members take a trip out there every year and they all rave about the place too.
