Top U.S. Golf Courses by Region

Fundamentally, ranking golf courses is a subjective exercise. Better players often prefer more challenging layouts. Less skilled golfers might appreciate wider fairways with fewer forced carries.

That said, the validity of any individual review isn’t tied to whether that golfer has a degree in golf course architecture or a preference for certain types of grasses.

If you’re a golfer, your opinion matters.

To build our list of the best golf destinations, we turned to TheGrint and to real golfers just like you.

ABOUT THEGRINT’S RANKINGS

To generate our rankings, we leveraged data from TheGrint, a golf handicap and stat-tracking service that also allows golfers to rate the courses they play. Think of it as something similar to Yelp for golf courses.

He played great golf for four days. He lost in an epic playoff with Patrick Cantlay. And he got heckled endlessly.

Patrick Cantlay earned the sixth and final automatic spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team by winning the BMW Championship on Sunday.

Clutch down the stretch and for six dynamic playoff holes, Patrick Cantlay put a fitting end to an epic battle with Bryson DeChambeau by making an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the BMW Championship on Sunday.

Only 30 players are left in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs. They all head to the Tour Championship hoping to get their hands on the winner's $15 million paycheck.

Joe Durant made a 5-foot bogey putt on the par-4 18th Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Bernhard Langer in The Ally Challenge.

Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard struck a bogey-free seven-under-par 63 to earn a one-shot victory at the European Masters on Sunday.

Tiger Woods' 2002 Scotty Cameron backup putter sold at auction for $393,000 making it what is believed to be the most expensive golf club ever sold.

Typically, the postseason is when the pressure rises and every single moment gets scrutinized. For the top 70 still in the PGA Tour's version of the playoffs, things have been pretty simple.

Bryson DeChambeau settled for a 5-under 67 after an up-and-down round left him tied for the lead with Patrick Cantlay at the BMW Championship.

Bernhard Langer birdied the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a share of the second-round lead with Doug Barron at The Ally Challenge.

American Sean Crocker shot a 6-under 64 to move up and share the lead after the third round of the European Masters on Saturday.

Top-ranked amateur Rose Zhang capped off an unbeaten week as the Americans won six of the eight singles matches Saturday to beat Great Britain & Ireland in the Curtis Cup.

From Day One, Shotscope changed on-course data collection. The company developed technology that lets RFID club tags communicate automatically with a wrist band to capture shots. However, the wrist band itself was a problem. Shotscope’s original V1 band featured no GPS functionality, just data collection. It was also roughly the size of one of Her Majesty’s aircraft carriers.

Shotscope V2 was a considerable improvement. Unfortunately, while considerably smaller, V2 was still the size of a Royal destroyer.

Now with the V3 GPS band, Shot Scope offers a full slate of stat-tracking and performance management features, including Strokes Gained analytics.

With that, we’d like to get feedback from MyGolfSpy readers.
