Do you have a favorite course or do you like to play different courses?

I have a couple favorite courses I love to play locally here in Spokane, but normally try to get out to several different courses during the season. I really like to play some that I have never played. How about you guys?
 
I'm always up for playing on a new course because of the new challenges it brings.
 
I have a couple favorite courses around here, but really like to play different places. I enjoy experiencing the different layouts and challenges the different courses have.
 
I usually play one course, but I have several that I play a few times a year. What's nice is that the guy who owns our course owns four others and manages another. And because of my wife, she and I can play them all!

This is exactly how I feel. I have played about 10 new courses this year in the local area alone. The challenge is fun but frustrating at the same time, lol
 
I try to let whoever I'm playing with pick, otherwise I go where I've got a coupon to play or something. I hate paying full price for a round.
 
I've not been playing long enough to to have a favorite course. I love my home course because it offers what few others can. In my illustrious 6 month golf career, I've played around a dozen courses and haven't met one I didn't like, including TPC Scottsdale and Chambers Bay. I think there will always be challenges at one's home course, but playing others give us new challenges and a better understanding and respect for the game.
 
I have a favorite course but that doesn't stop me from "cheating" on her with a bunch of different course throughout the year.
 
I love the challenges that an unknown course brings (and, often I follow the deals,) but I really like to return to the courses the kick my butt. I feel like playing them over and over is a good way to really hone in on whatever skill I may have.

Am I wrong to think this way? Am I just causing myself unneeded frustration? Who knows... but I love it!
 
I have a 'home' course that I play every weekend, it's not that difficult a course (par 70, 5672 yards) but it's a confidence builder for a new golfer like me who has only been playing since last year.

During the week I play with the guys from work and as none of them are members of a particular course we play differnet courses. I've managed to play 33 different courses since taking up golf. Some similar in difficulty to my home course but quite a few that are more difficult. I do tend to struggle more at visiting courses, not sure if it's a confidence thing... I only tend to get near or below my handicap at my home course.

One of the things that I am impressed by is the ability of my fellow golfers, playing off between 8 and 14, to take their game to any course we play and shoot pretty much consistant scores.
 
I like to change it up, but I do have a go too little muni only 3 miles from my house. It actually hosted the 1949 PGA Championship that Sam Snead won.

I have a favorite course in each state that I've played in, hell I have a fav in every city. Locally I'd have to say Grand Cypress (north/south) is my fav in Orlando. I have some close seconds but that is the one.
 
I have two local courses that I prefer above others but I like playing at different courses, joined a club once but by August I was burnt out on playing the same course over and over.
 
There is one or two local courses I frequent because is it easily accessible and affordable, but I like to play different courses more.
 
I usually play between four local courses that are fairly courses. Out of that, two are my favorite. But I'm always willing to play a new course. After all, it's golf!!
 
Of my 5 muni's, I play one most often due to location and 2 others quite a bit. The other last 2 i will play only ocassionaly. i do like to mix it up but what I dont like is when its only the first couple of times at a new course.

There is alot to be said imo for knowing a course one is farmiliar with. Just much more comfortable to play and manage ones game over all vs an unfarmiliar one.
 
I play twice a week in leagues at two separate courses. My favorite is any course outside of those two. Plus, I always enjoy the challenge of playing a new-to-me course.
 
Here is one I played this year, called Circling Raven at the Coeur D'Alene Casino in Idaho. Tough but fun.

I've always enjoyed playing the same course, I like the repetition and familiarity of it. I do however have a few favorites though, they're all in Florida lol.
 
I have one or two around me that I have a tendency to play most of my golf, but I really like getting out and playing other courses. I like the challenge of playing a course that I have never seen before or only get to play once in awhile.
 
I have one that I play the most. Compared to other courses around here its in way better condition for better prices. I don't mind traveling, though. There are a few courses within an hour and half that are really nice as well, but if I stay in town its usually Seminole Golf Course. I've been back into golf a little over a year now and I've played nearly 30 different courses spanning from north Georgia to SW Florida. Always down to play somewhere new.
 
I don't have a favorite, I tend to bounce around a little bit. I really wish I had a home course, and then play other courses here and there. I think that would help with my game.
 
I like to play many courses, but if I had a favorite it would be the old Langhorne Country Club, now Middletown CC in Langhorne, PA.

I virtually grew up there. Was the first and most often played course when I was starting. Had great hills for sledding in Winter. Dad and I played there often and I have find memories of teeing off from tees high above the fairway, rolling hills, shots from elevated too to elevated green and Dad grumbling that there isn't a flat lie anywhere in the course.

I still love to go back. It isn't a great layout, but an interesting one, let down by a modest 18th hole. It's a poor man's Merion and my Augusta.
