Ultimate/Dream 18 Holes (Public&Private)

This past week on morning drive, it was “design week” and Matt Ginella and others put together their “dream” or “Ultimate” 18 holes. I started thinking about my own dream or ultimate 18 holes both public and private and created my own lists. It took me a little bit to come up with the lists but I had some fun doing it.

I did realize how few top courses I’ve played throughout the US in making my lists but I also want to hear from you guys! What’s your dream 18? I separated mine and created a public and private list and ONLY included those holes/courses in which I’ve played. Here goes!

My wife is from Portland and her family still lives there so I go play a few top courses when we visit every summer. Any recommendations are welcomed!
