| In 1961 I worked as a salesman for a company owned by a Pine Vally member, Mr. Robert Driver. Through Mr. Driver's membership I was allowed to entertain clients. With 3 guests I managed to score a 40 on the first nine, boggied #10 and parred every hole up to #18. I kind of skyed my tee ball on 18 but it was down the center. Upon approaching my ball I said to my caddie, "can I get home with a 5 wood"? He answered, "I don't think you have anything in the bag to get you home". I said I was playing so well I had to try it and took out my 3 wood. I had played "The Valley" a few times with Mr. Driver so I knew my caddie's advice to hit it over the pond and over the left hand sand bunker as the green kicks everything to the right. The shot came off the club like it was shot from a bazooka. The caddie turned to me and said, "you might just have a gimmie". I did, the ball wound up 4 inches from the cup. I birddied 18 and parred the back side for the most memorable golf experience of my life. I am now 73 years old, hold a 21 handicap, play 3 times a week and still expound this story to my friends at least once a month. Forty-four years ago I was an 8 handicap at Burlington Country Club in Mount Holly, New Jersey. |

Lives up to its #1 Ranking, May 23, 2005

reviewer: Matt Murphy

| I have had the priviledge of playing such U.S. Top 100 courses as Pine Valley, Augusta National, Merion, The Honors Course, Shoal Creek, and Valhalla to name a few and Pine Valley is hands-down the best course in the world because of its challenging layout, outstanding condition, and its exclusivity. If you can swing your way into one day playing there you will not regret a minute of your experience. |

Should be rated 10 stars, Nov 05, 2004

| If you every have the opportunity to play Pine Valley, cancel all other appointments and do it. It will be the greatest golfing experience of your life. Anyone who says differently has either never had the opportunity or was not worthy of the experience. |
