Country Club of Fairfield

2^nd

Dan Jenkins reckons "Seth Raynor's best work is the Country Club of Fairfield... It's short but covered up with charm."

Essex County Country Club

9^th

Essex County Country Club is one of the elder statesmen of American golf, incorporated way back in 1887. The course that’s played today goes back to 1918, the work of a rookie golf course designer, A.W. Tillinghast.

Fenway

21^st

With one-shot holes that vary by 100 yards in length, no weak holes and a classical design, it makes us wonder why Fenway Golf Club does not feature more prominently in America’s Top 100.

Forsyth

55^th

In 1918, five years after Forsyth Country Club was formed, A. W. Tillinghast designed a 9-hole layout for the membership. Shortly after, Donald Ross was engaged to extend this course into the 18-hole track that’s still in play today.

Galen Hall

50^th

The Galen Hall Golf Club website describes its layout as: “Something of a mountain course; short but challenging… built on historic South Mountain and as such it features a mixture of hilly terrain as well as undulating fairways.”

Glen Ridge

49^th

Willie Park Jnr expanded the original 9-hole layout at Glen Ridge Country Club to an 18-hole course in 1918. Since then, both A. W. Tillinghast and Robert Trent Jones Snr have been credited with making revisions.

Golden Valley Country Club

11^th

Completely surrounded by housing, with a road and railway track cutting through the property, the old Tom Bendelow course at Golden Valley Country Club does its very best to keep the modern world at bay.

Average Reviewers Score:

Kansas City

3^rd

The classic old A.W. Tillinghast-designed course at Kansas City Country Club has been renovated a number of times - most notably by Robert Trent Jones - but it still retains much of its Golden Age charm.

Average Reviewers Score:

Longue Vue

29^th

Featuring a very fine trio of “Redan,” “Eden” and “Alps” replica holes, the golf course at Longue Vue Club pays more than mere lip service to the origins of the game.
