Worst for me was Falcon Golf Course at Otis Air Base On Cape cod. It sure was cheap but the fairway were more sand/dirt than grass and the greens weren't green but more like the fairways, try putting on sand!

Just as an aside...I've never tasted spam. Ever.

Also, Happy 3000th post TTR!!!!
You don't know what you're missing. Slice it and put it in and on top of homemade mac and cheese. Or fry it in a skillet and put it in a bun with mayo. It's really popular in Hawaii. They even have restaurants that serve it.

There's restaurants that serve goat scrotum in Thailand...that doesn't mean it's good.

My worst was in Charlottesville Va, McIntyre municipal park, a nine hole course. There is no clubhouse, just a cement block building with a slot to place your $5 in an envelope pulled from something like a mailbox, which also contains a scorecard. There's no diagrams for the layout and no markers at the tee boxes. So we teed up and took our shot at a seemingly nonexistant fairway that has been mowed by a regular lawn tractor. Distances? Just take a guess. The "greens" were sand, some soft and some hard dried crust. No.8 tee was down hill from No.7 green, so steep that it was hard to keep from sliding, even with spikes. My son and I laughed so hard over the crudeness that we didn't mind, as we watched a group of big, overweight guys totally skip No.8, saying "We ain't goin' down THERE!" Great laughs for $5!

The course that I learned on should probably be in this thread. I can't say anything bad about it because it has sentimental value to me though.

We've got one in the making just two miles from my home. It was an OK course, but they drilled for a gas well across the road from #1 fairway, then crossed over to run a pipeline, down #1 fairway, #2 and #3 fairway, then crossed over and somewhere through the rest of the course. It looks like 18 holes are now 9. No telling when the front 9 will be fit to play. We're overrun here with Marcellus shale drilling.

Ask Warbirdlover about the course we played on in the mountains of NC when he lived out there. We had to wait to hit our 2nd shots on one hole, for a train to come through the middle of the course. I stepped off the fairway to hit my shot in what looked like wet grass. It was quicksand............and I was waist deep in mud. Finished the round, but we were laughing so hard, we couldn't hit the ball.

Quicksand is sketchy!
