Top 100 Courses in the U.S.

GOLF Magazine's biennial Top 100 Courses in the World Rankings are controlled by a 100-in number global board whose individuals incorporate real title champs, draftsmen, writers and a framework of experts who have played the majority of the world's main 100 courses. Specialists assess a poll of 493 courses. Despite the fact that there are no an unchangeable reality criteria they should tail, we believe in their feeling of what constitutes "significance" in a course. These are the best courses in the United States. See underneath for more data about each cours. lumen sports
