COURSES RATE: Camargo Club (Seth Raynor architect, 1921) is ranked 26th among the top 100 classical courses and Coldstream (Dick Wilson and Joe Lee designed, 1960) 54th among the top 100 modern courses in Golfweek's 2000 edition of America's best 200 courses. Pine Valley (N.J.) is still the best of the traditional venues and San Hills in Mullen , Neb., maintains a strong lead over the contemporary courses.
