Some midwest bias there, huh?

To show my east coast love, gotta say Jones Beach gets consideration. And even though it's reasonably new, Frisco.

Vegas is, in your mind, a maybe. Cincy and Alpine are decidedly midwest. :P

Alpine, yes.
Cinci, probably
Great Woods, probably
Frisco, yes
Atlanta, maybe - depends on the day of the week
Shoreline/Irvine, again, depends on the day of the week

This is a no Brainer.

Great Woods is easily the Masters followed by Cincinnati, Jones Beach, and Alpine.

you need to make it to Dallas. Great Woods might be the US Open, it's not the Masters'...

It's got to be:

Alpine
Indy
Cincy
Chicago

And he usually does them all in a week and a half.

Dallas may be worthy of the list, I haven't heard much about it though so I can't really include it. But any list that doesn't include Great Woods is really hard to fathom.

No love for Starlake, huh (except for LIPH).

This is likely an evolving list.

I gotcha covered - IMO Starlake is the best venue going. For the life of me, I cannot see the attraction to GW.

I've been to Great Woods twice, it must be living on its reputation. I'm not sure it would make my top 10.
