I think you should know that I play golf.  At one time I use to be a 3 handicap so I do have good local golf knowledge. 

Some of my selections below are courses that I have played and enjoyed.  Other selections are courses that I have not played, but I know to be great courses.  The reason for not playing them is because they cost more than I prefer to spend.

*Always check for course conditions during the summer months.  You can do that by simply reading the latest reviews.
