As a follow up, we did play Oldham CC and enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendations.

Public course recommendation--Louisville, KY

Craig D — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:23:02 GMT

A small group of us are going to be traveling through Louisville, KY on our way further south for a golf trip in mid-April. We are considering doing an overnight in Louisville as a part way point and would like to a play the following morning before continuing our travel. Does anyone have any recommendations for public courses in Louisville to consider?

Traveling to the Dallas/Fort Worth area on Thursday for a work event. Have a free day all day Friday. Anyone have a recommendation on where to play? Staying in Arlington. Looked at Texas Star as a possibility

Where you are staying most likely will influence where you play. The good news is there are good courses up and down that part of the coast, north, central and south. Also important is how much you want to spend. If you post your location and price range it would be helpful. You literally have scores of choices. There is a Myrtle Beach Facebook group that handles this question all the time. Might want to see where they are recommending based on your preferences. I’m sure you can find an existing post that will likely answer your question.

A lot of good golf. Have fun.

TPC was in great shape when i was there in March. Caledonia is also one of my favorites.

Hi Tyler - in 2024 I played these courses with two buddies. They are all absolutely wonderful layouts, and challenging. I'm pretty sure they are all within a relatively short drive from Richmond.

Hi everyone. I will be in Richmond in mid-June and I was hoping someone could give me some recommendations on where to play. I was looking at Magnolia and The Highlands based on where we think we will be but I am definitely open to suggestions.

Pinehurst 2

James S — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:00:04 GMT

Just played Pinehurst 2, 4, 7, and the Cradle.

2026 Pro v 1x left dash scored very well. Greens firm but the new left – had plenty of check and release on the greens..

Has anyone checked out the Titleist fitting location on sight at Pinehurst? Heading there this week and looking forward to checking it out.

You can book the new course in advance, but you can usually just walk up and get out there. Same with the jubilee and Eden.

Just be prepared if you play the jubilee, it’s brutal in the wind. I used to live in St Andrews and the jubilee is the hardest of the six courses at the bottom by far.

St. Andrews as a Single

Traveling in May to St. Andrews to visit my daughter who is studying abroad this semester. It sounds like the courses at St. Andrews rely on the starters to place singles with groups about to go off. So it appears you don't have a great sense of if/when you'll go off. Any tips or insight is appreciated for course selection as a single and how you deal with uncertain tee times & warm-up.

I played the Old Course back in 2023. At that time the day before could view the tee sheet for the following day and what spots were open. Then I had to show up the day of at 5:30am and stand in line. I was #4 in line so I was able to get a good time.

Not sure if that is the process now but when you get there, I would ask and they will let you know. Super nice and helpful staff.

The New course you can walk on, they do not take tee times from what I remember. The Edan, New and Jubilee are all close proximity to the Old.

[quote user="Don O"]Good to know lining up at 4:30 is no longer an option. Curious if there are days of the week with better odds on getting lucky. If there 20 slots a day and the pool ran from 25 to 80, I’d shoot for the 20 of 25 day. I was led to believe lottery entry from The Old Course Hotel entrants were luckier than others. At least when I stayed at the Hotel, they handled submitting my name and I got on. That was 2018. The world changed after COVID.

I have been successful in the 48hr 2+ person ballot twice now, in 2018 and last year, 2025. 2018 was in April so def not peak season, can't recall the day, but last year we stayed in StA for a week during July. We'd heard Thursdays and Saturdays were generally your best chance. We were successful as a two on the Thursday and another of our party selected as a single on the Saturday, so it seemed to ring true. I was #11 on the singles draw on the Wednesday, thought I may have had a chance, but only got down to 6. The starters did make the comment in the morning that there were quite a few tour companies booked in that day so they felt the chances were low.

Not sure re: the Old Course Hotel having some sway in the ballot selection, doesn't hurt to know people... ;)
Currently, the 48 hour ballot is online and can only be entered as a group of 2/3/4. No singles.
The single ballot must be entered in person at either the starters hut or the new Club House, and they take a picture upon entering, so you can't enter for someone else.

Was interesting being No.11 and just hanging out at the hut for an hour or so to get an understanding of likelihood for the day, the No. of people that just turned up seeing if there were any spots, trying to sweet talk the starters and even wanting to pay whatever for a round. The starters were very professional in their dealings. :)

Played the Old Course twice as a single...was paired with other threesomes each time, once with two St. Andrews University team golfers and their coach. One of the more memorable rounds of my life. So it is possible if you are diligent and a bit lucky. But I agree with Waz...New or Eden are good options and while not the Old Course, are OK alternatives if it doesn't work out getting on the Old. Best of luck!

RE: St. Andrews as a Single

Waz — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:28:19 GMT

Yeah no lining up option anymore, you need to turn up day before in person and enter the singles ballot. If you are successful you will find out at about 5:30pm that day (i.e day before you'll play). If you book at any of the other StA courses they will happily cancel or move your booking at those courses if you are successful in the ballot.

Its not exactly the same, but book to play New or Eden would be my suggestion. Both have holes that play right along The Old so you get a little of the feels.

Good luck!

Still waiting on mine as well. Played no2 twice and watched my buddy sink a 20' birdie putt on 17 to get a deuce coin, and then watched my little brother drain a long birdie putt on 18 in front of a million people out on the veranda. He said that was worth more than the coin haha.

RE: Holden Beach NC

[quote user="John B"]There are many courses in the area. Carolina National is close by but I would recommend heading south a few miles to the Sunset Beach area where a plethora of options exist. Thistle, The Pearl, Oyster Bay and Sea Trail are all nice resort course options. Explore some of the reviews on Golf Advisor or another site and find what fits your druthers. Great area for golf. Have a great trip.

Thanks for the recommendations! I looked into The Pearl and Oyster Bay so those are definitely on the list!
