NCAA host courses
Duke University
37th
Perry Maxwell submitted the original plans for a course at Duke University Golf Club but the Second World War intervened and the layout in play today is an early Robert Trent Jones design that opened in 1957.
Golden Horseshoe (Gold)
13th
Golden Horseshoe's Gold course was closed during 2016/17 when an extensive renovation was carried out by Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead. Bunkers were reconstructed, greens resurfaced and the entire course re-grassed.
Grand National (Lake)
7th
A dozen of the Lake course fairways at Grand National are laid out around the shores of Lake Saugahatchee and one of those holes is regarded by some as the finest par thee in Alabama’s RTJ Golf Trail.
Grayhawk (Raptor)
42nd
The Tom Fazio designed Raptor course is one of the most beautiful courses in the region with spectacular panoramic views of the McDowell Mountains and the surrounding desert dotted with large saguaro cactus.
Hazeltine National
5th
Hazeltine National Golf Club was modified by Rees Jones (son of RTJ) ahead of the 1991 US Open which turned into a historic battle between Scott Simpson and Payne Stewart.
Holston Hills
3rd
Nestling near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, is the unassuming Holston Hills Country Club. Is this the best-preserved Donald Ross design in the USA?
Homestead (Cascades)
3rd
The Homestead mountain setting is truly delightful and the Cascades golf course looks totally natural with its ponds, streams and slopes, but the fairways were blasted through the limestone using tons of dynamite.
Innisbrook (Island)
84th
The Copperhead course is arguably E. Lawrence Packard's best achievement but his Island course – host to numerous U.S. Open qualifiers and NCAA Championships – is not far behind in the rankings.
