The guys posting the new top course in Tennessee and the baseball stadium thread got me thinking. How many of the top 100 have people played? I have decided I want to play as many as reasonably possible over the next 20 years, knowing full well courses will shift in and out of the ranking in that time. So I thought it would be nice to find out from others which ones I should put on my list to play. I plan to get PGA West either next weekend or in August before I move back and have Dancing Rabbit and Fallen Oak in Mississippi on the short list to get in this year.

I have played:
38 - Old Waverly - Nice course. Played it for free several times back when I worked there while getting my MBA. Probably not worth the trip by itself, but would be as a combo with Dancing Rabbit. Will be interesting when Mossy Oak and George Bryan's (founder of Bryan Food and Old Waverly) new course down there.
39 - Torrey Pines - Worth the play once for the views alone. Worth the play a second time to try and play better and realize you are playing where US Opens have been played. Course is very unforgiving and a fun challenge.
83 - Donald Ross at French Lick - I was 15 and don't remember much about it. Probably shouldn't count it.
92 - Maderas - A fun course. Easiest of any of the 4 I played. Shot a 74 while playing by myself at 1115 on a Saturday a few weeks ago. Not worth a trip on its own.
