Renzi Lee Lake Hills Golf Course apprentice head professional Billings, Mont. Tobacco Road Golf Course in Sanford, N.C., is the coolest place around. It used to be an old gravel pit. The greens roll beautifully. You have to climb out of the bunkers with ladders. Best Out West Billings, MT Sious Falls, SD Casper, WY Cheyenne, WY Fort Collins, CO Santa Fe, NM Las Cruces, NM Elegance and oddity are on display at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas.

It would have to be Tyler Country Club in Minnesota. It's a great setup. Years ago it was a nine-hole course. They did a great job integrating the new nine with the old nine. It's fun to score out there. They did a really good job of laying that out. Scott Robbins Ptarmigan Golf Course superintendent Fort Collins, Colo. I'd have to go with Pebble Beach. That one is tough to beat for historical value, scenery and the layout. Gil Martinez Picacho Hill Country Club superintendent Las Cruces, N.M. Santa Ana Golf Club and Tamaya Resort on the Santa Ana Pueblo just outside of Bernalillo, N.M. This 27-hole public course along with an 18-hole resort course is where I cut my teeth in the business. You can play from multiple tee areas and have a fun challenging experience every round. The overall service and atmosphere along with breathtaking views always make me want to return to my hometown. Jimmy Rodriguez Towa Golf Course superintendent Santa Fe, N.M. One time I played Torrey Pines. The course was in awesome shape. The views: being out there on the ocean. It is accessible being a public golf course in San Diego. Some great golf has been played there over the years, (including the 2008 U.S. Open). It was great. Summer 2013 31
