A List Course's current
Posted: February 22nd, 2023, 1:02 pm
This is my current list of the best of the best courses. All A listers that I have currently played in a season tournament. Some may not qualify for being too short which makes them ineligible for tournament play. Also, even though I'm currently in my 18th season there are still a few courses that I haven't played. Any suggestions for an A lister that isn't listed in this post I'd like a shout out to play it. List is updated as I play through a season. There are 219 courses listed to date.
