US Golf Courses - Most any course can be played from the appropriste tees, these are courses I have played
or know to be complimentary to the use of these clubs. There are many classic pre-1931 courses that are great to play,
especially if they have been restored to there original characteristics.

It is one of the best and most challenging courses in North America. It's links like character makes it very complimentary to hickory play, but a high level of profientcey with hickory shafted clubs is recommended.
A private club, play it twice if you can get on, the first as a practice round is needed by most players.
Check out the photos of the course at their web site. www.kingsleyclub.com
This is the most links like golf I have been able to play in the US. The Pacific Dunes and Bandon Dunes courses are highly recommended. The new CB McDonald tribute course is getting some great early reviews and should be a wonderful experiance as a modern classic course.
