How many Courses have you played?

[petethepilot]

I was really really bored the other night coming home from China. I gave some thought to where I have played and kept a running total. Appears that all up I have played 255 different courses!

53 International and 202 Domestic including 99 in Queensland!

Any body other than Andrew beat that?

For what it is worth,
My top 5 are as follows in no particular order;

Royal County Down;
St Andrews Old;
Newcastle GC NSW;
Kingston Heath; and
National 'Old'.

Regards,

Pete

[Andrew]

Interestingly, you have 2 courses that are not far from Newcastle in two different countries.

[petethepilot]

Only you and I would know that Andrew! Both are not exactly forgiving for a wayward driver!

[Scottt]

And both "Newcastle" courses are credited to men who have a co-design with Alister MacKenzie... One of whom also designed Northumberland GC in Newcastle, England!

I'm currently on 136 and should be on about 144 or 145 in 11 countries by the time I get home at the start of November.

Currently
85 in Aus
35 in England
8 in Scotland
3 in Ireland
1 in Belgium
1 in Portugal
1 in Egypt
1 in Czech Republic
1 in New Zealand

I'll play 1-2 in France in Sept and 5-6 in the USA in October, and hopefully another 1-2 around London before I ship out.

Too hard to pick bests or favourites.

Andrew's list would make your eyes water. He is said to have given up counting them somewhere between 750 and 800.

[AndyP]

111, including pitch 'n putts. They are in my Golfmap link below if you want to see them.

[Moe Norman]

Somewhere in the order of 250, I think I counted 200+ a few years ago - but I doubt I've added many more to that tally since.

About 80 in the UK, 100+ in Australia and at least 30 in New Zealand. About 8-10 in the US and then random ones in Europe and Asia to finish off the tally.

[Webster]

At last rough count it was a little more than 200. Andrew is clearly miles ahead of anyone else here. He must be a real slacker to have played that many different courses.

Scott, which US courses did you end up organising games for on your way home?

[sms316]

I was really really bored the other night coming home from China. I gave some thought to where I have played and kept a running total. Appears that all up I have played 252 different courses!


So this is what happens when pilots are supposed to be flying planes.

Nice thread. This will fk with my head until I work this out. Guessing 150.

[goughy]

I'm adding it up in my head, but I think I get to 23. Is that good? And none out of Qld. But then, I've only spent a total of about 36 hours out of Qld.

[MAZA68]

Started a running count a few months back (scary how you can remember all the courses that you've played) , my total to date stands at 114 and building. Best course played would be Gulf Harbour.

[Courty]

I feel inadequate reading this thread. I haven't worked it out, but it would be less than 50. A lot less.

[PerryGroves]

Pete, got me easily, am 163 in 8 countries. We did the numbers at work the other day, split our favourites into courses you could play everyday and great experiences. Mine were :

Everyday - RCD, Tralee, NSW
Great Exp. - Lahinch, Kauri Cliffs, Royal Adelaide, Portmarnock, National (Moonah)

[petethepilot]

You have some good ones Perry!

I thought when I started I might get to 100, but when I started writing them down I realised it was a lot more. The break up is as follows;

99 in QLD with the best being....(the old Kooralbyn)
41 in NSW .......(Newcastle, but I would say that as I was a member there!)
42 in VIC ....(Kingston Heath followed by RM West followed by Woodlands/Peninsular North)
16 in WA....(Kennedy Bay)
9 in ACT...(Royal Canberra)
2 in SA....(Royal Adelaide)
1 in TAS ...(Barny)
1 in NT...(Darwin)

211 Domestically

Internationally;

8 in Scotland ...(the Old course, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Royal Aberdeen, Gleneagles (Kings), Dunbar, Levin Links, Londin Links)
5 in England... (Royal Birkdale/St Georges/Lytham & St Annes, Wentworth, Farnham)
4 in South Africa
3 in Zimbabwe
2 in Japan
3 in Hong Kong
2 in Malaysia
3 in Thailand
2 in Singapore
3 in PNG
3 in NZ
1 in Fiji
1 in Pakistan
5 in Hawaii
6 in Mainland USA

Therefore 53 internationally, and 264 in total. (I just played Clearwater Bay in HK and a good public course called Oak Quarry in Southern California)

Regards,

Pete

p.s. At least I was still awake Shaun!!

p.p.s Bad luck about the Sea Eagles Perry!

[Andrew]

You'll all be happy to know that, due to my knee op, I haven't played a new course for over 12 months when I was in America last year.


He must be a real slacker to have played that many different courses.


I use to wear my course count like a badge of honour, until I realised that I was playing courses I didn't like (especially resort courses in America) just to add to my count. These days I prefer to play courses I like, whether I've played them before or not.

[petethepilot]

Want to compare knee ops Andrew?

None in the ACT? Interesting given you were a member at 2 clubs there.

[Grunt]

No he forgot!!!! Old timers disease! 9 in the ACT...(Royal being the best!)

Thats really cool. I'll have to figure out how to do that.....:-k

64 in Qld.
8 in NT.
8 in Vic.
22 in NSW.
4 in ACT.
5 par 3 / pitch 'n putt courses.

[Johnny Canuck]

Interesting exercise. I'm going to attempt this myself. It is going to take a long time, but will be worth the effort.

[PeteyD]

Wouldn't take me long. Nothing north of Hervey Bay, south of Coff's Harbour or west of City. A couple of driving ranges in Japan ;)

[Funky_Cliff]

I'm up to 116.
113 in SA including three par 3 courses,
2 in Vic
1 in Fiji.

[BrisVegas]

wasn't there a thread on this ages ago? I've barely added to my total in the past few years.

[AndyP]

Yep. I think it was called "A Century of Golf" or something like that. It might have been Damo that started it when he got to 100 courses. I bumped it more recently.

[sms316]

Got to 110 but it was doing my head in. Especially in Sydney, which speaks volume about how many of them were memorable.

4 in Tasmania
21 in Victoria
56 in NSW
19 in Queensland
9 in ACT

I'm sure there are at least a dozen more in NSW which I can't remember.

[Dotty]

50-60 in NSW and ACT.

0.5 in QLD (A nine hole par 3 course somewhere behind the Gold Coast.)

[Grunt]

Just did my map, got to 92 still a few Sydney courses to be added.

Played Interservice at Mollymook last year.... wonderful week of golf; lovely course...

'Golf Map' - man you have way too much time on your hands...

As to my count - I have absolutely no idea... Courses all round Australia, a significant number in Asia... But the one true answer is - Not Enough!!

[mike]

12½

[AndyP]

'Golf Map' - man you have way too much time on your hands...Do you really think it took that long? Each time I play a new course, I add a pin. There goes my day.

[Grunt]

Golf trips will happen again one day.

[Courty]

OK, I've counted up as many as I can recall having played. It's pretty sad compared to most of the others in this thread. On the bright side, it gives me something to aim for. 8)

Courty,

Didn't know you've played Nirwana. Good track. What did you think?

To be honest, I remember only a little of the course itself. Of course, there were several visually spectacular holes by the ocean. The rest was a blur of rice paddies and Asian caddies giving me distances in yards.

Marto, have heard a lot of people say that about Pebble. Do you think it just gets built up to the point where it can never be as good as what you imagine.

[Marto65]

Marto, have heard a lot of people say that about Pebble. Do you think it just gets built up to the point where it can never be as good as what you imagine.

I played Pebble in 1990. Went there with 3 mates and while there were some great golf holes there, it just feels like a park ...when you drive along Seventeen Mile Drive, you look out the window and say Ïs THAT Pebble ?? Plus .... the Seventh Hole was out of play ... we had to play a temporary hole next to it - big mood killer.. Give me NSW any day - or Spyglass.

I know this sounds absurd .... but Pebble needs a fence around it so you cant see it from the road.

[Andrew]

I agree Pebble is overrated, but this is mainly because is ranks within the world Top 10. I would have it somewhere in the high 20's or low 30's, which still makes it an excellent course, but it doesn't compare to the other courses in the world Top 10 I have played.

Of course, this argument gets me in trouble with some of the Americans over on the GCA web site.

[petethepilot]

I haven't played Peeble but I've walked a bit of it. The day I was there, the 18th green was out of play and one of the most famous finishing holes in golf played as a 320 yard par 4 to a temporary green. The club was still charging $350US (1994 DOLLARS) for a round.

On a different note, the reason I've played so many Oz courses is that I've lived (courtesy of the RAAF) in every state except SA and TAS. The UK/Ireland courses are due to several 'pilgrimages' to the Open champs! The Asia/Pacific courses are due to QANTAS!

Pete

[terrys]

I can only come up with 51 on my first run through. Having a 20 year break from playing kind of makes it difficult to remember all the courses I played as a kid in junior pennants and country week visits to Sydney.

[macjackass]

78, not too bad.

NSW 56
ACT 10
QlD 4
Vic 4
NZ 2
Hawaii 2

[Scottt]

The course lists at iseekgolf are useful for remembering where you've played. In the courses section.

[AndyP]

There are pretty comprehensive lists of courses at Ausgolf (http://www.ausgolf.com.au/guide/) too.

I'm now up to 56! memory is returning, though 3 of these i played last year :razz:

[LarryLong]

Managed to cobble together a list of 44.

33 in Victoria
9 in NSW (6 on the Murray)
2 in Queensland

Need to get out more.

[LeftyHoges]

56 if my counting skills are any good, which they're usually not.

Here's my golfmap... (http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105483095368117875272.00048effd4aac45dbc2fb&ll=-36.509636,142.108154&spn=6.56814,9.854736&t=h&z=7&iwloc=00048effdf958ef3ecb62)

[Yossarian]

29 in two years all in WA.

[Moe Norman]

Pebble is overrated from a ranking panel perspective, but its still bloody sensational.

I didn't pay for my round there, which may make it easier for me to be happy about the course. I think if you shell out $400 clams for a game you expect something out of this world.

[Scottt]

$495 + caddie or cart, plus 10% to convert to Aussie. Call it $600 Australian. Wow.

[Moe Norman]

It was $395US when I was there, which was picked up by a kind benefactor.

I paid $40US to play Bethpage, it was better value !

[terrys]

so how do you make one of those Golf Map things?

[AndyP]

Make that 112. Nelsons Bay today.

[BrisVegas]

It was $395US when I was there, which was picked up by a kind benefactor.

nice one! I paid $305 in 2000. Worth every cent. The Old Course was better value at 85 quid, however.

[Marto65]

It was US$175 in 1990... with the temporary 7th. If you didn't want your tee time, someone was ready to take it.

[Steve57]

148 courses over 40 years!

[Chris32]

My total of courses played all my life is a grand total of 17 :D

[petethepilot]

1 course for life is plenty....as long as it is a good one (and interesting)!

My life course would be...in Australia (The National - Old),

Worldwide.... St Andrews (The Old course)

p.s. Who do you know to get on Pine Valley Scottt?

[Andrew]

Pete,

Do you realise that there is a long term, Prominent member at Newcastle who is a member at Pine Valley?

[Webster]

Scottt, what about Cypress? I thought you had a game locked in there too?

[petethepilot]

Yes I did know that Andrew. He uses the same irons that I do! I didn't think Scottt would know him though.

By the way, whats Newcastle like at the moment ? I'm going to be down there in a week or two.

Regards,

Pete

[petethepilot]

The sad thing about American golf vrs UK/Ireland golf is that you must have to know someone to get a game! I have got on some of the most exculsive courses in the UK (Muirfield, St Georges, Wentworth) just by letter writing and other protocols. I haven't got on anywhere in the US by following similar methods despite being a low marker and a member of a 'Royal' club (and another top 15 course)! Private club there is different to the rest of the world.

[AndyP]

The 17th gets turned into 2 holes. They have been rotating through taking out others while working on irrigation.

Posting on a golf forum is the preferred method these days.

Or you could play 365 days in a row like the puregolf guys

[Andrew]

The sad thing about American golf vrs UK/Ireland golf is that you must have to know someone to get a game!

That is true much of the time, but I actually got onto a few courses in America through letter writing before I was on a ranking panel. I received a few ‘no’s’ & a few didn’t respond, but letter writing got me rounds at Crystal Downs & Prairie Dunes.

[Scottt]

Pete: We host a group from Pine Valley each year at my club and I have played in the match both years I have been over here. One of the guys invited me to visit when I am in the US. He also invited me to Seminole, but unfortunately I'm not going to Florida this time.

Jack: It remains a possibility.

Moe: Your inference is noted, however there is only one person I am playing with in the US who I haven't hosted at my club already, most multiple times or for an extended stay.

[Moe Norman]

There was no inference Scottt, perhaps you are paranoid? The most common method of access I can see these days is by posting on golf forums, it happens everywhere. Would you be at your club if you didn't post on a forum?

[BrisVegas]

That is true much of the time, but I actually got onto a few courses in America through letter writing before I was on a ranking panel.

How did you get on a ranking panel? Have you done any study/work in course design and construction? Or do these panels just take 'well-travelled' golfers?

Pete

p.s. I have taken advantage of contacts in the past as well! I got to play the Old course (St Andrews) off the medal tees in the R & A Monthly Medal followed by 15 scotches in the R & A clubhouse back in the mid 90's! A wonderful experience.

[Andrew]

How did you get on a ranking panel?

It was an American publication. A designer friend of mine suggested me back when I was travelling more. I only spent a few years on it as I was a little disillusioned with the way it was run & the abuse of the situation that I saw.

[Moe Norman]

Did you also refuse to wear a white belt?

[Andrew]

Did you also refuse to wear a white belt?

That's only the Australian mags. The American mags are ruled by short pants with those stupid socks that barely come up above your shoes.

[Scottt]

The type of guys they take to rate coures - at least in the USA - is laughable (not a slight on Andrew, I found out a few new GCA rater identities the other day that left me laughing out loud).


Could you please do a posting/review of your visit Scottt. Enjoy the trip.

I will be putting some words and pics up on my blog, Pete. Though seeing as I play PV early next month and am then travelling until early November, I'm not sure when it will go up. I have a few flights where I might be able to put down some thoughts while they are fresh and get something uploaded.

[qbnchopper]

Just 65 for me, all in Australia, only 9 in SA since moving here 4 years ago.

Hope you're not including the one you walked off Courty. :)

Where's the rule that says you need to play the entire course? ;)

[AndyP]

114 with St Andrew's Beach and Mt Warren Park added. I played all 18 holes on each course.

[Andrew]

Where's the rule that says you need to play the entire course? ;)

Rule:
16. A course can only be counted as played, in lists of total courses played, if all holes are played on said course. When a course has 27 holes, only 18 holes need to be played for that course to count, but if all 27 holes are played, it does not count as 2 courses.

[LarryLong]

Is there a rule 16a that says you can apply in writing to have the course added if you were not the big soft teddy bear who suggested walking off first?

(Assuming Courty wouldn't do this, of course)

[sms316]

If you have played 27 holes, wouldn't that count as 3 courses? Or do you need to play each 18 hole course (1-18, 10-27, 19-9) separately?

[Scottt]

The 27-hole thing has come up with mates who count their courses.

What my mates and I have tended to agree is that if it's an 18-hole main course with a 9-hole relief nine (like Royal Canberra, for example) it counts as two. If it's a club like Prince's in England (sorry, can't think of a local example) that has three individual nines that get combined differently as a regular thing, it counts as one course.

Not that it is a matter of life and death... decide your own measure and use it.

144 for me at the moment. Was hoping to break 150 this year but with Dec 31 bearing down on us I am not sure if I will make it.

Not sure RC is the best example. The members play all 27 holes in each comp. I still think 10-27 is the best course there anyway.

Corowa is another example. I think Catalina might be another.

Then you get Keperra, where the 3rd nine is clearly an abomination.

[Moe Norman]

Unless it has 36 holes, it's one course imo.

[Scottt]

Olympic Club, as an example, has

Lake Course - 18 hole par 71.
Ocean Course - 18 hole par 71.
Cliffs Course - 9 hole par 27.

How many courses is that for the basis of counting courses played?

[Webster]

I find the concept of "how many courses you have played" to be a bit pointless really (a bit like telling everyone how many fat/ugly chicks you banged when you were single), although I understand the reasons why some keep a record.

I'd find it more interesting to see how many courses everyone has played more than once.

[AndyP]

I'd find it more interesting to see how many courses everyone has played more than once.61.

[Andrew]

I find the concept of "how many courses you have played" to be a bit pointless really

Only because you haven't played that many.



I'd find it more interesting to see how many courses everyone has played more than once.

More than once doesn't mean much either, as it may only mean twice. Maybe playing a course 10 times should be the mark.

I can't really be bothered counting any of it these days.

[Scottt]

Of my 144, I have played 51 (that I recall) more than once and 24 of them five or more times.

[Webster]

Only because you haven't played that many.
.

How many do I have to play to be more than "that many" Andrew?

[Andrew]

How many do I have to play to be more than "that many" Andrew?

Tell me how many you have played to this point & I’ll work it out for you. It’s quite a complex mathematical formula.

[Webster]

I've already posted my approximate number in the thread Andrew (don't forget to carry the 1 )

[Moe Norman]

Olympic Club, as an example, has

Lake Course - 18 hole par 71.
Ocean Course - 18 hole par 71.
Cliffs Course - 9 hole par 27.

How many courses is that for the basis of counting courses played?

3, but only because they are genuinely 3 different tracks, and not interchanged etc like some 27 hole courses.

Eg. RM has 2 courses, but 3 different combinations. I would count it as 2 courses.

Indooroopilly has 36 holes, but in that it has West, East, Long Pocket, River, Captains, Presidents & Open course! It's still only 2 courses though, just because they have so many variations doesn't mean you count it 7 times!

I've confused the issue though, really just best to use your own measure - doesn't matter anyway.

[Scottt]

Moe,

I wasn't referring to counting holes or nines twice, what I meant was the main course would count as one and the extra nine would count as a nine hole course.

[Scottt]

Another example - Pine Valley has the main course and a 10 hole short course. That to me is two courses. Likewise at augusta.

[sms316]

How many fat/ugly chicks did you bang more than once?

few...very few..

[sms316]

few...very few..

Do you ever wonder if you have made it onto any simliar lists that they might have going?

No I never wondered that. Do the fat ugly girls have their own website for such things?

I wouldn't dare ask you how many multiple fatty/ugly ones you will own up to.

Okay, like others I have not counted how many courses but, I am working on a golf map which is kinda fun but, testing my memory...

The link is in my signature and apparently did not work last night... so, I think I have fixed it now... would someone mind having a click and letting me know if it now works...

You've played zero courses in the USA, right?

[KristianJ]

I'm looking at the USA. Methinks that it might not be working...click on Collaborate and in amongst that should be a link that you can copy and paste. That's what I did to get the link to mine.

[AndyP]

It's a shame that it cant provide more data on the points you've added, even it was just the actual number that you had plotted.

[Outcast]

Okay, I'm now officially stumped... I have tried numerous ways of getting to the damn thing but, none of them seem to work properly... just goes to the map of the US then when I link, I then have to click on 'my maps' then click on the Outcasts Golf Map link...

Tried the 'collaborate' URL...

Any guesses as to what the hell I'm doing wrong??

[golfbound]

Did you click on the word link at the top right of the map this is the link code you need

[AndyP]

Don't worry, we are used to helping out our slow northern brothers and sisters.

Use the "Link" link in the corner of your map.

Cool i would love to play some more courses outside Australia I have only played one and loved it.

[markTHEblake]

I find the concept of "how many courses you have played" to be a bit pointless really

I just started making a list cos it helped me remember where i had played, but I keep forgetting where i put the list.

[markTHEblake]

where is Humpty Doo

I love that line. When I was a bank teller I asked that question of the young lady customer who i was filling out a form for (doesnt everyone?)
and she exclaimed at the top of her sexy but husky voice.
"WHAT? YOU DONT KNOW WHERE HUMPTY DOO IS, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN DARWIN?

I said "umm, since yesterday?"

well i thought it was funnier than Andyp's answer, and it gave me a massive edge in Trivial Pursuit.

[markTHEblake]

Only if the "deed" was carried out on said course!

One.

Soon to be none :cry:

[BrisVegas]

One.

Soon to be none :cry:

I don't want to know.

[Marto65]

Went trolling for this ...

Have now racked up 203.

[matty]

Played only 20.:( in my 3 years.
Can't believe how many some have played.

[Grunt]

Will have to update. Have some to add.

[MAZA68]

Started a running count a few months back (scary how you can remember all the courses that you've played) , my total to date stands at 114 and building. Best course played would be Gulf Harbour.

Up to 130 now.

[SundayHack]

I collect logo balls from each course I have played. Currently have 52 balls but have played about another 10 where the courses didn't have a ball available.
Some of you guys have impressive numbers. I would need a bigger cabinet for my balls if I was some of you guys.

[Cosmopolite]

62

[Golfnut]

62

Wow Cosmo, you really get around!

[AndyP]

I'm up to 117. I added Wantima, Mt Warren Park (I think), the new Ipswich course and Peregian Springs last year.

[Cosmopolite]

Wow Cosmo, you really get around!

Been playing a long time GN and lived in a lot of different places

[mudrat]

I'm up to 48, hope to add a few more this year.

[AndyP]

Cool that you've played Borneo Barracks. Would make a fun champs venue.Oh yeah, that was a new addition for me last year as well. I played it just after Xmas.

Yes, Marto, that's the one.

[Marto65]
