Yeah, I'm right there with ya. What do you have so far?

Off the top of my head...

Celtic Manor
Coeur d'Alene
Cog Hill
Congressional
Flint Hills
Hazeltine
Hanauma Cliffs
Linfield
Nine Lakes
Teton Pines
Quarry at Giants Ridge

Any recommendations for a couple that I don't have?

Well the only one I have that you don't is Portmarnock and I like it. You have to like old links courses. I really like Castle Stuart and I'd put Portmarnock right with it or just slightly behind. I haven't played them a ton so my opinion may change. I really wish they would set a more reasonable price and let us buy them online and get instant access. I'm sure I'd buy quite a few more if that was the case. They'd get a lot more spur of the moment buys. Having to buy in bulk and then wait a week plus to get the courses released is archaic.

How do you like playing Hanauma Cliffs? It looks like a pretty course but I've wondered how it plays.

Castle Stuart is only a couple of hours up the road from me... but I've still never played it in real life. I'm hoping to remedy that this year! The FSX version is good, but it's much like a lot of the courses round here (Carnoustie / St Andrews / Royal Aberdeen etc).
As I'm in Scotland, I'd rather play typical American courses rather than the Links style courses I'm surrounded by! I like a course with some water hazards.

Hanauma Cliffs is ok. There's a couple of really good holes (I bought it purely on the Foresight video), but it's a tricky course to play if you're not playing well as the fairways are really narrow and there's random volcanic rock everywhere.
I've just gone back and watched the video, and it's now a different hole... at it used to be a par 3 (16th I think)

I was considering Dallas National and Emirates Club Majlis as my next 2.

I previously asked Foresight if they'd do a 'buy 3, get a 4th free' or similar deal, but they told me I was already getting a good discount on the courses.
I know what you mean though... I'd like to pay / play on the same day, rather than having to wait a few days for the activation.
