I just read a post about Predator Ridge and it made me think, how cool is that name. Then I asked if I knew any better golf course names.

I like Spanish Bay, old McDonald, Ibis (canes fan), Bayonet. I'm sure I'm missing a great many but please share with me.
 
The Hideaway
 
I always liked the name Spyglass Hill.
 
Though it is called simply "Manele Bay Golf Course" now, for many years it was called "The Challenge at Manele". Its sister course was "The Experience at Koele", now closed but might be reopening later. Thought both of those names were very cool and different.
 
Buffalo Ridge

Especially when you see Buffaloes grazing from the 1st tee box.
 
It's a nickname for the #4 course at Cog Hill but Dubsdread is pretty cool. A bunch of THP'ers will be there to check it out which is also pretty cool!

JB stole my first answer.

My second one that popped into my head was Purgatory in Indianapolis. Thought that was very cool.
 
The Witch (private side of Pumpkin Ridge), The Judge, Tobacco Road
 
Presidio GC

Hells point, Caledonia, and devil's knob top the list for me.

I kind of like my home course, "Hunting Hawk". Never gave the name much thought until the third time I played there and saw this massive hawk dive down and grab a snake out of the grass... Not just a clever name!
 
I have Royal New Kent up the road and it just sounds like a good course.
