Riviera

21^st

There are few courses with no weaknesses, but the Riviera Country Club can take the moniker. It’s a truly remarkable golf course routed across less than ideal terrain.

Average Reviewers Score:

The Country Club (Clyde & Squirrel)

22^nd

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:

Camargo

23^rd

The Camargo Club is set amidst undulating countryside on the edge of Cincinnati in the State of Ohio. It’s a Seth Raynor jewel which opened for play in 1925.

Average Reviewers Score:

Bethpage (Black)

24^th

The Bethpage Black course really is as difficult and penal as the high slope rating suggests. It’s not for the faint hearted.

Average Reviewers Score:

Oakland Hills (South)

25^th

With many holes lined by trees, six US Opens and one Ryder Cup under its belt, the South course at Oakland Hills Country Club should be treated with respect.

Average Reviewers Score:

Ballyneal

26^th

Ballyneal sounds Irish so it’s fitting that this is a links course albeit an inland links. The dream of Rupert and Jim O’Neal is located in the middle of a huge Colorado dunescape, and even the address – Holyoke – echoes that of a current Open Championship links venue.

Average Reviewers Score:

Kiawah Island Resort (Ocean)

27^th

According to Pete Dye, "There’s no other golf course in the Northern Hemisphere that has as many seaside holes" as the Ocean course at Kiawah Island.

Average Reviewers Score:

Whistling Straits (Straits)

28^th

If you didn’t know the history behind Whistling Straits, you’d believe that the 560-acres of land had been shaped by the hands of time.

Average Reviewers Score:

Muirfield Village

29^th

No expense was spared in the construction of Muirfield Village Golf Club, with bold bunkering, water hazards and narrow fairways that require pinpoint tee shots.

Average Reviewers Score:

Garden City

30^th

The strict men-only policy of the exclusive Garden City Golf Club puts it in the limelight for all the wrong reasons...
