Links Corner Forum

an old nes game that i found in my uncle's attic called 'Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf' got me thinking about how would a course like that work in links and what holes would "have" to be on that course for a 2020 version.

my biggest problem is that i can't come up with 18 holes, i could only think of:
the 17th at st andrews, the 18th at pebble beach the 18th at harbour town the 12th at augusta the 7th at pebble beach and the 17th at sawgrass

That's a good start......
Sage.......

For some reason, I've always liked the 10th at the Belfry.

15 or 16 at Cypress Point............

Sage.....

3rd at Mauna Kea. That famous cliff shot par 3 at Banff Springs. The 14th island green at coeur d'alene.

:)

18th at Whistling Straits. 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16 at Augusta National. #8 at Pebble.

Isn't this list from the first edition which if I remember correctly was published in 1966(?) Which is several decades before some courses were built however it is a decent list for that time though

Think it was 76 the first edition, this was 88 Woody, great golf book, i have a couple of editions, later version didn't have it

some good suggestions but i think limiting it two a max of two holes from each course(s) would be good otherwise (and i'm looking at you augusta and st andrews...etc) some courses would dominate the dream 18
