I here courses described as such all of the time, but being a budget golfer, I have never truly experienced such a course. What makes a course, such as, say, Pebble Beach, nicer than a well kept muni? Is it just an aesthetics thing? Is it services provided? Difficulty? What, to you, constitutes a "nice" course?

The layout and conditions and the friendliness of the people that work there.

The Golf Club at Quincy meets my definition. It's a great course with several interesting holes, always in good condition and the staff is incredibly friendly and laid back.

I've played some snooty courses and don't care for them no matter how the layout and conditions are.

Also, some courses just have majestic views. Like playing along the Ocean for 4 or 5 holes is very cool and can make a course "nice" even if the layout isn't as good as some others.

At the same time we have a local course that has 3 majestic holes, and I never play there because the greens are complete garbage.
