While all are very good my 3 favorites in descending order are The Cornelia, The Sultan and the National. The reason the Cornelia replaced the Sultan as my favourite is due mainly to the number of hills and contours the course has. In the main apart from 2 holes (the 1st and 10th) each holes is very different both visually and to play. On this course there is something for everyone whither big hitter or finesse is your strength The Sultan I first played on a bad day (for me) and it was only later that night I was able to rationalise the course and its beauty and challenge. Water and long shots play a big part in the course so one has to be on ones game to at least match the challenge. Again a very wide variety of layout of holes The National is a different beast. Tight narrow tree lined Fairways, water and some blind shots make this a difficult course. I always coeme off wondering just how it was possible to drop shots where I did. The short 2nd is a real character builder being played to an island green. I would say all the holes visually seem similar to each other.
