My favorite course is Riverside near Fenton, MO. It is a par 69, 5,505 yds from the white tees with a slope of 98. The course is nothing extraordinary but it is well maintained and easy to get a tee time.
What makes Riverside my favorite course? If I'm playing it, I'm with my Dad who is 85. I spent 20 years as a pilot in the USAF living and travelling around the world. When I retired in 2008, I took a job overseas as an Environmental, Safety and Health manager.
I don't get home as often as I'd like and I recognize that our time remaining to play golf together is limited. I would trade a round of golf with my father on Riverside than playing even Pebble Beach without him.
What makes the best course is the company you're playing with, I hope to get many more rounds in at Riverside!

I saw this and said to myself, I'll bet there will be all the world renowned golf courses (as there should be). After reading the comments I agree with each of your favorites My favorite course is where I play each and everyday that I can. I play Men's and Senior Men's League, compete in all the scrambles, four ball, 666, and anything else they have on the current menu. It's where I make my living and extra cash on weekdays and weekends. It's my home course of Glen Eagle, and Joe Summerhays (Bruce's son) is our Head Professional. I agree with every single post on this topic, I've had the opportunity to play a lot of those mentioned, but day in and day out, this is where I hone my craft. And, for that reason, Glen Eagle is my favorite Golf Course!
Love the Bag!

A bunch of great options for everyone's favorite course. It's great to read the stories about the TT members.
My favorite local track is Cedar Ridge CC. It tests every aspect of your game but is still enjoyable. They have played numerous national events there.
My favorite courses are the Paiute Resort courses in Las Vegas. They are always in perfect condition and the staff treats everybody like they are the most important customer. The tee box selection has an option for all skill levels of golfers. Plus it's in Vegas.
I remember doing a similar member spotlight on here in 2011. Pretty interesting to see what has changed in three years.

This one is easy...The Honors Course in Ooltewah, TN just outside Chattanooga. The entire experience is nothing short of majestic. Secluded in the foothills on the Appalachian Mtns, it is like you have gone to another planet where all there is to do is golf. The course itself is difficult, but very enjoyable. Long holes, short holes, elevations, large lakes, tall grasses, old trees, fast greens, it has everything. The service is unmatched. Even the club sandwich is the best one I've ever had. I'm honestly getting goosebumps just writing about it.
My home course is Redmont Recreational Club in Red Bay, AL. It is a nice 6500 yd. course with tiny, slow greens, but it provides it's own challenges. Fairly open off the tee, but your short game better be on point. After two shots, the first putt is always a bump and run with a wedge. Just enough water to provide breeding grounds for the mosquitos and cottonmouths!

I've been lucky enough to play a plethora of famous courses. Places they play on Tour like Sawgrass, Kapalua, and Harding Park, but my favorite golf course resides at the University of Michigan. I'm not a alumni, and I've only played it a dozen times, but in my humble opinion, it's golf at it's finest- with no distractions.
Set atop a scenic hillside in Ann Arbor, this Alister Mackenzie course is a gift to golf. There's no gimmicks, and it doesn't blow you away with million dollar views. It's not overly long, super tough, or in Augusta shape; however, it is one of those courses you could play 100 times, playing each hole differently every time and still learn something new for your 101st round.
