I think Pinnacle is better but I ain't mad at it. Troon North is one of those courses in AZ that gets a lot of hype that can actually hold up pretty well. I really like the selection of tee boxes if you are honest with your abilities. :ROFLMAO:

I like the Ohio love!

The Virtues is nice but I also think overrated a little bit IMO but it has been a few years since I played there... I played it when it was Longaberger and then right after they changed to the virtues

These are on my list to eventually play.. they are only 20-30 minutes from me
 
I am going to go with the top 10's I have actually played 18. Not in this order. If the facility had two courses I'll group them together.

TPC Stadium / Dye's Valley
White Oak
WGV Slammer & Squire | King & Bear
The Club at Savannah
Greenbriar CC
Marsh Oak at Amelia Island
LPGA Hills / Jones
Gateway National
Annbriar GC
Ozark National GC

Playing Bay Hill next year with a friend of mine. That will surely make the list.... Did some side work for him and he is fronting the whole bill.

what ... people choose the wrong tee boxes there??? Who doesn't want to play a downhill all carry par three that you can't reach with a driver. Then again...Distance is a crutch.

That and when people try to swing out of their shoes the houses surrounding the course comes into play. They are not cheap houses. :ROFLMAO:

Have you played Camargo? That would be a good start.

I have been told many times that I could tag along with someone who never follows through. It's not an easy track to gain access to, sadly.

With that said, other than the quality of the experience, I have heard many times that it's not all that.

I know 1 member at Brookside but he is not someone I am close enough to ask to get me on.... and when I worked at New Albany CC a bunch of the members were also members at Firestone but never got the chance to go with any of them to Firestone.
 
I need it to be next year something serious. I’m gonna need up update things a bit 😍

It's just a very cool place, and I happened to play it on a day out of the movies with a bit of fog, lots of overcast, and big time vibes.

When you connect the dots to video games and TV, it gives maximum feels.
