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.

NCGA Hall of Famer Wally Goodwin Dies Aged 94

July 21, 2021

Wally Goodwin, who left his mark in golf coaching at numerous institutions including Stanford University and was inducted into the NCGA Hall of Fame in 2014, died July 20 at the age of 94.

Goodwin, who coached at Stanford from 1987-2000, led the Cardinal to the 1994 NCAA title, its first since 1953, while finishing second in 1995. He was named national coach of the year in 1992 and 1994 and Pac-10 Coach of the Year twice and guided Stanford to a pair of conference championships while producing seven All-Americans.

Among his recruits that helped revive a struggling Stanford program were Tiger Woods, Notah Begay III, Casey Martin, Joel Kribel and current Cardinal head coach and NCGA Hall of Famer Conrad Ray.

“Stanford Golf and the world of college athletics lost an icon,” Ray said. “Coach Goodwin had a profound impact on so many young student-athletes over the years, including myself. He was not only a legendary coach, but also a man of character, hard work, and total positivity which carried over to everything he was involved in.”
