I've been very fortunate to have had entree to a lot of great courses. You've gotta understand that great courses and difficult courses are very different in many respects. Among them, in order of GREAT courses I've played are
Royal County Down
Lahinch
Oakmont
Inverness
Pinehurst #2
The Ocean Course
Congressional
Spanish Bay
Torrey Pines - South
Portmarnock
The Ocean Course is clearly a beast. Almost unplayable in the stiff wind. But there is no question that Oakmont is the most difficult. After playing that course, I firmly believe that Johnny Miller's 63 in the 73 US Open is the best round of golf every played.
My favorite will always be Keney Park, VERY early in the morning, with a case of beer awaiting the winners.
