Fat Guy's Top 50 Cool Name Courses

[This page still under construction.]

I'm a sucker for a course with a cool name.  Whether it's funny (Polish Pines), and oddity (Ye Nyne Olde Holes), or bad-ass (Ambush at Lajitas), sometimes I'll plop down greens fees and spend 5 hours just to add an interesting logo ball to my collection.

Ambush at Lajitas

Polish Pines

Ye Old Nyne Holes

The Badlands

Silver Lakes-  A track with an utterly forgettable moniker like Silver Lakes makes the list? That's because they have 3 nines named Backbreaker, Mindbreaker, and Heartbreaker.

Bully Pulpit

Casa De Campo (Teeth Of The Dog)

Green Monkey @ Sandy Lane

Cape Kidnappers

Hell's Point, Virginia Beach.  An early Rees Jones layout cut out of the Virginia pines, but still close enough to the ocean to smell the salt air.  The course emphasizes strategy, not length.  61 sculptured bunkers and several lakes come into play, with narrow fairways and undulating greens.
