When I'm asked why I have made 27 trips to GB&I to play golf.....Because they let you play their very best courses without knowing a member. The question was where is the Holy Land...Not where is the Holy Land of public golf. Playing Maidstone on Wednesday. But gotta be first off at 7:30 and it's a 4 hour drive. Be a long day.

Well, as an atheist, that ain't holy to me. Sounds like there won't be any pilgrimages there from anyone I know.

I took it as "your holy land" a bit more than "the" holy land (which I thought was the UK haha)

the different takes on this thread have been fun to watch and not as I thought. I'd agree that the UK I consider the home of golf so that must be the real answer but not the way I originally interpeted the question

Accessibility, affordability, and year round play make a strong case if one talks about his/her holy land. I will also put my view out that rankings of anything don't in my book equate to my most fun. I tend to like low key, casual, underrated, hidden gems. These are pretty different then getting onto the most prestigious courses.
