White Bear Yacht Club

1^st 58^th 67^th

With modest length, White Bear Yacht Club requires accuracy rather than length from the tee. If you suffer from a lack of balance, it might not be the golf course for you as you will seldom get a flat stance.

Average Reviewers Score:

Whitemarsh Valley

36^th

Squeezed into a tight and rather hilly property, the course at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club hosted the 1934 U.S. Women's Amateur and the Philadelphia Open between 1963 and 1980. Five of its holes utilize the Wissahickon Creek as an intimidating water hazard.

Average Reviewers Score:

Whitinsville

15^th

Situated in Blackstone Valley, the course at Whitinsville Golf Club was established by Donald Ross in the mid-1920s and it’s widely regarded as one of the best 9-hole layouts in the entire country.

Average Reviewers Score:

Wianno

56^th

Gil Hanse has been consulting at Wianno Club since 2012 and we’re sure he’d agree that Wianno’s short-legged, giraffe-shaped routing gives Cape Cod’s striking fishhook form a run for its money.

Average Reviewers Score:

Wilmington Municipal

55^th

The old Donald Ross design at Wilmington Municipal Golf Course has been stretched down the years to 6,784 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 71. John Fought rejuvenated Wilmington’s greensites and drainage in 2014.
