Spook Rock GC, Ramapo, NY
Where my cousins and me would go to play golf when I was in high school.
Great, woodsy course. Nothing like playing Autumn golf in NY.
*****
Bear's Best GC, Las Vegas, NV
The toughest course in Vegas - that's also fair! You can really score on this one - either way. It has the best views in Vegas, too.
*****
Rancho Park GC, Los Angeles, CA
The busiest muni in the country...so sometimes the greens are not in the best of shape. But the holes are fun, challenging, and picturesque. and where else can you birdie a hole where Arnold Palmer once scored a 12?
*****
Kapalua Plantation, Maui, HI
Just an amazing course...beautiful, in the best shape of any course I've ever played on. It is pristine. Love going for it in 2 on the 600+ yard par 5 after hitting a drive on the crews (it goes downhill).
*****
And I have to include my home courses in Amelia Island Plantation, FL, because even after 40+ years of playing golf, they are still my favorite 54 holes in the world:
*****
Long Point GC, Amelia Island Plantation, FL
The most challenging course I have ever played - and the one I've played the most in my life. It's not long, but it winds it's way through woods, marsh, and besides the ocean in one of the most gorgeous natural places for golf in the world. You better hit it in the fairway and on the green - or bring a few sleeves of balls with you.
*****
Amelia Links Ocean, Amelia Island Plantation, FL
Some amazing ocean holes here...the 15th is astounding - uphill, directly at the ocean - to a tiered green.
*****
Amelia Links Oakmarsh, Amelia Island Plantation, FL:
Short, frustratingly difficult, and gorgeous. Some amazing holes on this one. And the 17th fairway is in my parent's backyard!

Bear's Best is my favourite Vegas course. Love the 17th. The setting for that green is one of the finest looks anywhere.

I really only have a couple noteworthy courses:
TPC Stadium Sawgrass - had a buddy that worked as a cart guy out here for a little while. Played it about 7-8 times total. Fun course. 17 is always a good time. The Valley course right next to the Stadium is nice as well.
ABCC - Atlantic Beach (FL) Country Club. Played it Friday. It's a new course, opened about a year and a half ago. Pretty difficult, always windy. The greens are hard and fast. The web.com tour championship is being held here in October.

Rio secco, tpc Vegas is pretty legit, I find badlands really tough for some reason, cascata if the wind blows, Paiute the wind always blows. That's off the top of my head and I don't live there 
Fwiw we are similar handicaps and I usually play the one ups most places, any 7200+ course is just pain IMO. Want to play during wsop? I'm out there 6 weeks
