As someone who enjoys golf - used to play competitive scratch golf on amateur level in the past, and tempted to get back into it - I am thinking about compiling some kind of list that identifies some gems (not solely based on $$$ value, but more balanced among price, the quality of the course, and the prestigiousness of the course) that are a part of this program.

After cursory glance those stood out:

Chambers Bay
Pasatiempo
Monarch Beach
The Belfry
Cabo Del Sol (Possibly the most pricey course on the list)
Cabo Real
Puerto Los Cabos
La Qunita resort
PGA West
Silver Rock
Aviara Golf Club
TPC Scottsdale
We-Ko-Pa
GC at Dove Mountain
Bali Hai
Pine Needles
TPC Boston
Omni Tucson
Barefoot Resort
TPC Myrtle Beach
La Cana
Nicklaus North Whistler
Fairmont Banff Springs
Doral Resort (inc Blue Monster)

Those are a couple examples, I could work on compiling a list of golf courses segmenting them by tiers. There are many good courses there such as the other Omni ones, Robinson Ranch, Black and Gold, World Tour, Legends of Niargara, the boulders, Royal Ontario, Disney resort, and a bunch of others worth playing.

Thoughts?
