  I'm rather surprised Olympic catches as much flak as it does.  That's my 2nd favorite behind Congressional.

  Merion, especially back 9, although front 9 is not exactly high in my Christmas card list. Any course where I have 3ft for birdie followed by a pitch shot for par, followed by 3ft for bogey is just horrible, and I can seemingly manage the same routine on multiple holes on Merion.

  Its like crazy golf meets Disney horror film. Which is a shame as it looks like a lovely little track to actually play a round on.

  I LOVE Olympic, very challenging.

  I hate the greens on Pinehurst, seems too many breaks at the cup that don't show on the grid.

  Both of those are my favorites as well.

  Used to be one of the few that hated ST.A , but now I like that too.

  I don't have a course that I dislike.

  +1

  once you master all the tree traps
  it's a nice course to play with a cool shaded ambiance to it,
  it's also where I shot my lowest 9 and 18 rounds yet,
  so always a nice (FAIR) challenge unlike pine-hurts or merion

  I can't stand Kiawah.  The putting view and grid direction is messed up on so many putts it annoys the crap out of me.  Put it on champ greens and it's hell to get any sort of read.  I'd rather take the nasty swingers than guess which direction it's going to even break.
