Number of Courses

My list has 166 courses on it. I started keeping them written down a couple of years ago. While not a large number, most of my rounds were repeats on my home courses. I do have some of the best public access courses on the list, both in the USA and UK/Ireland.

Hey Sean, I wouldn't call those rookie numbers; I'd call you a seasoned veteran

Oh, also a way to get that “blank” off the foreign course list is to watch for another Team Titleist International like we had in 2023. We might see one pop up in 2025.

I think I've only played 48 different courses. Bad part is 6 on the list don't exist anymore and that sort of makes me sad. Housing developments and mismanagement taking some good ones away from us. I do hope to add some new ones to my played list this fall.

Added number 49 on Monday and will add number 50 this Sunday. Getting to play the Pete Dye Golf Club in WVA.

Do not know where to start, other than can name the states and countries where I have played. Started playing in 1985. I use to play in local invitational tournaments for many years, CGA one day events, interclub monthly events and courses when we travelled as well as at my professional organizations golf events once a year all over the US. That is 39 years worth. If I multiplied that by five times a year that would be close, most likely a lot more. Use to play 6 tournaments a year and I play golf three days a week at the local municipal course.

California
Arizona
Mississippi
Tennessee
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut
N Carolina
S Carolina
Georgia
Florida
Nova Scotia
Montreal
Ireland

I will go the same route as Chuck and list the states I have played in as there are too many courses to count in California that I have played to begin to start counting. I can tell you in that list of California courses, names like Pebble, Spyglass, Poppy, Spanish Bay, Pasatiempo, Torrey (North and South) do show up.

I have played in the following states

California
Nevada
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
New Jersey
New York
Utah

Countries are Mexico, Ireland, Scotland

What a great question. I'll have to think about it and report back. That said,Chuck has a good idea about the states, and beyond.Here we go;

Maine
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
Vermont
New York
North Carolina
South Carolina
Florida

Bermuda
Cayman Islands

This is a little fun. I’ve played in 13 states and countless courses. I would assume well over 100, but that would take a lot of thinking to get them all.

156 and counting.. Its now about hitting bucket list courses!

In keeping with the state/country breakdown for my 166 courses, they are:

Arizona
Arkansas
California
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Michigan
North Carolina
Oregon
South Carolina
Texas
Wisconsin
USVI
Dominican Republic
Ireland/Northern Ireland
Mexico
Nova Scotia
Scotland

Fortunate to have played 8 of the Top 10 US Public (Golfweek) and 3 of the Top 5 World (Golf Digest). Adding a few more to the list between now and the end of the year.

Have to play the #19 Muni, as rated by Golf.com in the US top 50 Municipals. Seth Raynor style and believe, all about ball position. You will love the greens, Bermuda at 11. If you are ever down this way. Take you lunch a Page's Okra Grill. Number one eating place in Mount Pleasant, SC. Has to be with all the tourists there during the season. We local's really like it.

Anyone over 100 is NOT! a rookie

Been playing since 1960, too many courses NLE for me to be sure. My path is very weird. I do not know the exact number but it's closer to 1400 than 1300, I've played up to 80 different courses in a year. I have played 54 courses in Scotland and 12 in France (one in the photo).

I play to vote Top 100 in my state on a specific panel. I play In the USA and Worldwide for a magazine with lists panel as well. I have always been more interested in the design of courses than being the best player that I could possibly be. Rating I don't really keep a score but look at the course very carefully. I rate-play alone a lot, playing a four-ball is honestly a mental chore, too much to block out. I don't play for social reasons never been one to have a "Saturday Foursome" as I like to play my own ball, not BB partners, etc.

But ... I have played sanctioned stroke play events best finish in a Regional group 3rd and State 5th, only Club Championships won are 5 with the lady in my photo, we are killer in alt-shot (Foursomes).

Sorry, the writer in me rambles at the keyboard, I hope that was moderately interesting, blessed by this game!

I tried as hard as I could to remember all of the ones I have played. I had to think back over the last 30 years or so. My total number of courses played is 153, 5 of those are international.

I am sure I missed a few but it's pretty close.

Tough to say a number-

Maryland
Pennsylvania
Florida
North Carolina
South Carolina
New Jersey
Delaware
Texas
Hawaii
California
Arizona

Ireland
Bermuda

I would say in the low 40's in three states, with a couple great local courses that are not around anymore.

An update to my earlier post, I wrote down all the courses I've played and it turns out I've played 111 courses.

One of the things I do is collect golf pencils from the courses I play. There’s a bowl full!
