Bountiful Municipal, Salt Lake City, Utah
The greens can be very tough, concentrate on getting your chip close, rather than in. The 106‘ hole is OB to the right, BE CAREFUL. A lot of fairways slope dramatically in one direction or the other. Takes some getting used to. Stunning views of the Great Salt Lake and the picture perfect Wasatch Mountains. You’ll know why it’s called Bountiful. Designed by William Neff Par 71

Cog Hill, Lemont, Illinois (Dubsdread)
Chicagoland’s own! Lots of weeping willows and oak trees lining the extremely tight fairways. Tight landing areas and heavily bunker-ed greens make this course a test for the best- and just plain fun for the rest! Dubsdread is rated by Golf Digest as one of the best courses in the country.

Firestone South Course, Akron, Ohio
One of the most visually pleasing courses to play. This course was photographed in late October and you’ll agree that it was the perfect time to do it. Saying that some of the trees are overhanging is an under statement. A course where driving truly is at a premium, because, with overhanging branches everywhere, your approach angle is crucial to a good score. Par for 18 holes here is a score to be proud of. A Robert Trent Jones beauty that has become one of the PGA premier stops. Redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Par 70

This links style course offers players narrow fairways and small, fast greens perfect to bring out the shot-maker in everyone. Harbour Towns’s par 3’s are some of the best anywhere and the view off of the 18m hole is legendary throughout the world of golf. A relatively easy course because of the flat greens. Par 71 lnnisbrook, Tampa Florida This Copperhead course is as striking as its namesake, in both beauty and challenge. Rated #1 in Florida 6 years in a row. With its pine tree lined fairways and rolling terrain this natural setting is more reminiscent of a Carolina layout rather than Florida’s West Coast. Par 71

Kapalua Plantation
The only course with more severe elevation changes than Big Hom, is built on top of an old 23,000 acre pineapple plantation. The majority of the fairways are fat, allowing you to go for that little extra with the driver. Beautiful scenery, tropical breezes ...if you allow. Par73

Prairie Dunes, Hutchinson, Kansas
A touch of Scotland but in the land of Oz. Sunflowers instead of heather, oceans of grain instead of the sea. But like Scotland, be prepared, the wind always blows. Built in 1937 by Peny Maxwell at the height of the depression, the course is blended intuitively into the natural terrain creating treacherous and well protected greens with severe roughs. Par 70

Sea lsland, St. Simons Island, Georgia
The Atlantic Ocean borders a few of the fairways on the front 9. The chimney of the slaves “Big House” still stands off the 18m green. The clubhouse was originally a corn barn and a stable. President Bush honeymooned here in 1945. Davis Love III lives off the Sm tee. In fact, when standing on the Sm tee, rotate about I55 degrees and check out his cheesy lawn furniture. All in all, a fairly easy course. Par 72

St. Andrews Jubilee Course, Scotland
Wind. Evil bunkering. Massive greens. Fairways no wider than a bowling alley. The Jubilee Course is not your classic links design. Aside from the golf-ball gobbling gorse and heaving dunes that swallow all errant shots, danger lurks not just for slicers; hookers get punished as well. Basically, all you need to do, on every single hole, is hit the ball straight - and pray. Par 72

St. Andrews New Course, Scotland
The "New" Course of St Andrews is hardly new. Over 100 years old, The New Course is one of the finest golf courses in the world today. The New Course is a classic links course which uses the natural features of the land to create a first class golfing challenge. The course has the traditional out and back layout, with the 18th green just to the right of the first tee. It also has, in the great St Andrews tradition, shared fairways and even a double green at the 3rd and 15th holes. The New Course at St Andrews is a golf experience for the ages. Par 71

St. Andrews Old Course, Scotland
It is the Home of Golf where golf was first played 600 years ago and yet it remains a real test of golf for today's champions. Despite its reputation and status, it is a public course. The Old Course has evolved over time and was not designed by any one architect. The people who played a major role in shaping it are Daw Anderson (1850s), Old Tom Morris (1860s- 1900)and Dr Alister Mackenzie (193Os). The course is known for its particular physical features including 112 bunkers, some of which are especially famous e. g. ‘Hell’ on the long 14th, 'Strath' on the short llth and the Road Bunker at what is probably the most famous golf hole in the world, the 17th or Road Hole (so called because a road - which is in play - runs hard against the back edge of the green). The original golfers at St. Andrews played a 22 hole layout until 1764 when it was reduced to 18 holes. The rest of the world followed mainly because it was the home of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Another peculiar feature of the Old Course is the double greens where the outward and inward holes are cut on the same putting surface. These greens are large, not surprisingly, and golfers can be faced with putts of almost 100 yards. Par 72

Valderrama -— Spain
Valderrama is a 6356 metre par 71 with no hole of less than championship quality but it can be fully enjoyed by players of all handicaps, thanks to the genius of Robert Trent Jones. The amenability of the golf course to the handicap golfer and its deliberate severity to the championship player owe much to the extensive range of tees. The tees are differentiated not just by distance but by careful siting. Par 71

Devil’s Island (Fantasy)
Rising from the crystal waters of the Bermuda Triangle, this tortuously beautiful fantasy course is the most challenging and rewarding in the Links portfolio. From the unforgiving tee shot skirting Bentwood Beach on hole #3, to the signature 14th, an impossibly small island green lurking in the lagoon of lost score cards, these 18 holes will reward the accurate golfer lavishly and force the rest to walk the plan. Impossible course, period. If you think you’re getting too good, play a round here. Par 71 (only in your dreams)
