Doing a little research for my next course and was curious to find out which courses have the best set of greens? Subjective question but would be interesting to see what people's thoughts are?

This is just quickly off the top of my head... some of these are greens are certainly on the tough side, and might not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought they were really well done.
- Royal Ballylough 2016 - The Breakers - Southern Conservatory Club - Loa Pali - Royal Brumby / Tye Dunes / Tye Sands - Oakland Hills - Pelikila - Timberwolf - Double U Ranch - Doubtful Dunes
Good luck with the new course!

Thanks!
All great courses. I will have to have another look at their greens in more detail.
Cheers.

Thanks for the shoutout, Ben. I expected this thread to spark a lively discussion, but I guess not. I think The Sandbelt might have the best greens I've played in the last month or so: they're very interesting, and I was impressed with how you contoured them to make certain pins accessible even in firm conditions. Very well done, and I am certainly looking forward to your next effort.

In all seriousness, I like alot the courses where the breaks are subtle but challenging, however, invisible breaks are my kryptonite

Appreciate the comments Griffin. I'm always looking for ways to use the greens to feed the ball to pins. It's fun to hit shots that have to roll to their destination rather than just firing an aerial approach directly at the flag. Im not a big fan of Math golf and like to find ways to introduce as many factors as possible for each shot. All said, I still think I have a lot to learn from the greats with the subtleties of green design. I really liked the greens on Reebdoog's and Han's new courses. Beautiful rolling greens with really smooth transititions Thanks for the shoutout, Ben. I expected this thread to spark a lively discussion, but I guess not.

I personally believe that the best greens for this game are designed so you can use the slopes to get the ball close. Ballylough is a great example

Killarney Golf club is another worth looking at.
