Rat River Golf

Spoiler Hey--this can be my "What Are You Listening To?" style PW thread
We have a Rat River as well Claire.

We have one called "The Players"

There is a private club nearby called Wee Burn and another called Woodway - they always make me laugh.

Coolest Names for a Golf Course.
 
Whether it be from historical greatness or just a well-chosen name, what are your favorite names for golf courses anywhere in the world?

Please list no more than one name per post. (A whole list of names wouldn't serve this thread well.) Thanks.

I absolutely LOVE the name Whistling Straits.

Bear Slide

For those in the IN area, it is worth the trip to play it as well. Great course.

I have been on a few courses that should have been named "Mulligan Paradise", where extra shots are the normhttp://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...lies/clapp.gif

We used to play a course called Shamrock Hills. Perfect name because of all the clover. Everywhere. Try to find your white ball when the clover is blooming!

That sounds like a stipper: "And now, on the main stage... Medinah!"

There really aren't any cool named courses around here. I guess that Hawk's Creek is going to have to be my submission. I'm not sure where the name comes from, but it's just down the street from Shady Oaks where Ben Hogan (The Hawk) spent his final years *I'm guessing at him being the namesake, I've never heard one way or the other, and so far, I like it. Don't squash my dreams. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

I will always like the name Dubs Dread in Kansas City, KS since at one time it was in the Guinness Book of World Records (Longest Course) and I played it from the tips, over 8,000 yards. Once. It was stupid long. We didn't hold anyone up, as there was no one else out there at the time.

that makes me think of a nearby course with a not-so-spectacular name...Sentry World but it has a neat hole

You could list a ton from just the Vegas area alone, but I think my favorite in my area is Druids Glen. Seattle, Washington Golf Courses - Druids Glen Golf Club - Covington, WA

Best (or worst?) named one I've played is a local executive course here. Played it once but doubt I'll ever go back:

Jo Daddy's
