Average Reviewers Score:

Seattle

9^th

Seattle Golf Club was founded in 1900 and the course lies on a rather compact site with holes laid out around a forest of stately pine trees.

Average Reviewers Score:

Shinnecock Hills

1^st 3^rd 3^rd 3^rd

Not only was Shinnecock Hills Golf Club one of the five founding members of the USGA but also it was where one of the first specifically designed golf clubhouses was built.

Average Reviewers Score:

Shoal Creek

1^st

Bob Cupp (when he was senior designer for Jack Nicklaus) designed Shoal Creek and the course opened in 1977, hosting several top-flight competitions since then.

Average Reviewers Score:

Southern Hills (Championship)

1^st 43^rd 47^th

There’s nothing flash about Southern Hills. Mature deciduous trees line many of the Bermuda grass fairways and the rough is notoriously thick and tangly.

Average Reviewers Score:

St Louis

1^st

Opened in 1914, the course at Saint Louis Country Club sits on a tight parcel of land in the suburb of Ladue, ten miles west of St Louis city centre...

Average Reviewers Score:

The Country Club

7^th 97^th

Host to the US Women’s Amateur in 2012, the Country Club originally moved to Pepper Pike in the mid 1920s, where William Flynn laid out eighteen holes that were both stylish and strategic.

Average Reviewers Score:

The Country Club (Clyde & Squirrel)

1^st 23^rd 24^th 49^th

The name may sound a little arrogant and for golfers in the know, there’s no need to explain that The Country Club at Brookline was the first of its type in the USA.

Average Reviewers Score:

The Honors Course

1^st 75^th 86^th

The Honors Course is set in a secret valley to the north of Chattanooga and it’s another jewel in America’s golf course crown.
