For me it is the Hideaway courses, Sand Hollow, then everything else. I haven’t really traveled to play much and haven’t played at nice courses. Very few times out of state and I need to fix that.
Your Personal Top 10 Courses
I’m happy to see Buffalo Ridge showing up a few times. It isn’t super well known - at least relative to a lot of other top courses - but those who have played it tend to love it.
I had never heard of it and just went and looked. Whoa is right. “…perhaps the most exclusive club in all of France…”

Don’t make me play another and boot one out.
Can tell you're an architecture guy like me... Highland Links wouldn't be in the top 1000 for most people due to it's conditions, but the course was one of the most incredible courses I've ever played. Just kept thinking "How the *bleep* did he build this???"
I was just really lucky. It was part of pro-am tournament in France. I think the organiser of the pro-am knew a member and begged him for years that he could take a group out and play. The year I took part in the pro-am was the only year they allowed it. In 4 days we were lucky enough to play Morfontaine, Les Bordes, Golf de Chantilly and Le Golf National.
Morfontaine was obviously the crown jewel. It's easily the best course in Continental Europe. The place also just has an aura around it that's very hard to describe. You can immediatly tell it is very old money only.
I didn't take to many pictures, because I wanted to enjoy the golf course as much as possible. But I have some that I can share:

Shared four more than exist, which isn’t many. Back in November, there was a charity auction for a round with a guest that was donated by the daughter of the founding member of the club. Had to have gone for well over 5 figures.
That’s a really cool experience you had there, and I’m mad jealous of it. Seems the rest of the courses played weren’t exactly throw away rounds either
Sold! When are we playing!! Lol
I'll meet you. Have a buddy that we play there every year when we meet for work. He's a member and would join us, for sure!
Virtues is a lot of fun! Played there with my wife for my birthday.

I am such an idiot. How could I possibly have forgotten about Tobiano?
I haven't played a ton of courses, most of these are in state.

Been lucky enough to play a lot of great courses. Different reasons why some of these made it over others I've played. Some are multi course complexes so yes technically more than one course but I've put in one slot.
No particular order:
East Lake - GA. (History and service)
Pinehurst #2 - NC (only course I've played on the resort. Great service. History. Challenge. Turtleback greens are scary and fun at same time.)
Wolf Creek - NV (scenic)
Menele Bay - HI (very scenic)
Kapalua - HI (Plantation, Bay, Village. All very scenic and great service)
Bayhill - FL (History, feel, service.)
We Ko Pa - AZ (scenic and challenging. Both courses are great)
Desert Forest - AZ (I'm a sucker for any Coore-Crenshaw design. 3rd on the list)
Kiawah Ocean Course - (scenic and tied for most challenging course I've ever played)
TPC Sawgrass Stadium - (played both courses. Dye course is really good but Stadium is another level on design. History, very challenging as well)
