Courses played in 2024 — new acct because I lost access to my old one _.
2025 has been a great year—so far I’ve played 79 rounds of golf across 57 courses (49 of which I hadn’t played before) and have two more rounds to go. I only display logo balls for the first time I play at a course and played my second round at Royal Dornoch and Castle Stuart. I also played Chambers Bay 22 times this year (I’m a member there).
I’m sharing a few things below: 1) My overall progress to lifetime goals 2) the new courses I played in 2025 with logo balls shown. In the comments I’ll also share some my favorite pictures that I took along the way this year as well as courses I hope to play in 2026.

Dude just put the pictures of the courses in your main post. You don’t need to include them as 50 individual comments lol
When I retire, I hope my yearly itinerary looks like this. Until then, not enough time nor money. Nice work.

That is a bonkers list in one year! Congrats to my fellow golf world traveler. Did you miss Royal St George’s while in Deal/Sandwich? That was my favorite new course played this year.
Row 7 #1 is my all time hidden gem of hidden gems. Curious to hear what you thought.
This summer at Arcadia Bluffs, I played with a married couple who had played every major course you can imagine. If they legitimately counted every stroke they hit, they scored 120+. There is a difference between saying you played the course and took on the challenges it presents or just teeing a shot up and slapping it around so that you can say you experienced the location. Not to judge you in particular but casual golfers are often sight seer’s at these venues rather than golfers trying to match their skills against the design and elements.
That’s a great collection. Living in Irvine, this really makes me miss golf trips outside Orange County. Each logo brings back a different kind of memory.
Curious how you came up with 17 Dream Golf Courses. Even counting the short courses at Bandon and Sand Valley, I get 14 when I add in Wild Spring Dunes and Rodeo Dunes
Yo I would love those shelves can you link one those? I’m collecting balls too!!
Is this the great 80 trillion dollar wealth transfer I’ve been hearing about?
Sent you a DM if you want a Midwest TPC hookup.
You came to Spokane/Coeur D Alene but play the Cda Resort? Circling Raven is a much better course, but typically I’ll see the resort in the mix.
How was Monte Rei? played it last year but was pretty underwhelming in terms of quality.
What rack do you use for your collection? I need one.
