I agree....My favorite in the area.....30 minutes depends on bridge traffic from Glen Burnie!!!!!!
I think I am going to go there tomorrow....Winter rates are the best!!!!

Champions Golf Club, I guess (former Ryder Cup and Tour Championship location). There are better courses near me, but they're too exclusive for me to get on. Second would be Walden on Lake Conroe, but it's a hair out of the time restraint.

When I was making regular business trips to Houston, an associate was a member at Champions, we played it often and it is a fantastic track. If there are better courses in the area, then they must be fantastic. I also played a Walden course a couple of times, it was Walden on Lake Houston. I also like the Tradition at Cypresswood.

Yea, it would be super-incredible with zoysia over bermuda fairways. I just love the layout of it. Easy holes that are hard, and hard holes that can be easy with well placed shots. If you played it three days straight with different wind and pin placements, it can be three entirely different courses to play.
My comment was based on the pic you posted but if it has as much water and the rough is thick then it certainly changes things. I just prefer more trees on a course but if I ever got the chance to play the course in the future I will be sending you an invite to join me to prove me how wrong my initial impression was

the first hole is my nemesis. I like playing the course but it puts up a challenge.
From my parents house I agree.
i haven't played this course on over a decade, it was a fun track but back then I preferred Potomac ridge

Considering you can't really leave Miami-Dade county in 30min with all the traffic, I would have to say Trump Doral (any of the 4 courses). The white pictured below used to be amazing until they sold it and starting building on it...
I get to play the Red Course ALOT
Other courses of mention:
Turnberry Isle
Miami beach
Normandy Shores
Crandon park GC

There is NO course within 30 minutes that really any "good"...but...if I had to pick ONE, it would be a toss up between our local Country Club (Stoneridge) or a small 9 hole country club 30 minutes away called Ellsworth County Club. Neither are good enough to write home about, as they say.

There's not any GREAT golf courses within a half hour of me. Lots of pretty good ones. I would probably go with my old home course. Buckhorn Springs CC. Fun layout that is always in excellent shape. If you widen it to 45 minutes or an hour there are some excellent ones.

I'd have to go with Wyncote in Oxford Pa. Closely followed by Pilgrims Oak and White Clay Creek. All of them are probably 40 minutes away normally - but I play early and can get there faster!

If you are within 30 min of Wickenburg Ranch, I recommend that you join - it is a great course!!
Within 30 min of me -
Private - Desert Forest GC.
Public - Troon North (36 holes, Pinnacle preferred over Monument).

How about CC of Troy? I've heard pretty good things and can't be that far from you.
I could walk there (almost). I hear it's very nice, but yet, another place that I've only driven by.
I have played very few private clubs around the Albany area.

Mr. Inconsistent
I like that course a lot. I've only played it once. I'd love another crack at it.

I've only played it a few times, tough to shell out $110 for a round. I wanted to play it this year but didn't get around to it, it's on my list for sure next year though.
I like old style courses that I can walk, so my two nominations are Rancho Park GC and Recreation Park.
Rancho Park GC has some tour history, is compact, and walkable. It's a busy muni in the heart of L.A., but I do enjoy going around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_Park_Golf_Course
Recreation Park GC in Long Beach also has history, some quirks that come along with an old layout, and is a hoot to play: http://www.cityoflongbeachgolf.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=62
