There has been a plethora of great golf open up in America in the past few years and the competition is so tough... You could probably do the Next Best USA Top 100 and still add more to the list. From 75 onwards, there are probably 75 more that could be included or swapped out. However, we've done the heavy lifting and produced what will be the first of a few updates in 2025.
Additionally, there is a plethora of new courses opening in both traditional and non-traditional markets. Whatever the case, the rankings will be updated in 2025 when we get more eyes on new builds and freshly opened courses after renovations and restorations.
The rankings will be updated in an 'always up to date format' which will be introduced during 2025. We will refine the rankings during 2025 when we look again at the World, and North America Rankings and wait for new course openings.
One thing for certain is that there is a lot of new and high-end golf state-side at the moment.

New Entries include Ladera at 83, Sedge Valley at 98, and Medinah No. 3 at 99.
Old Barnwell is the biggest riser - up 24 spots to 47th. Some big names fall down the ranking, including Tree Farm, Southern Hills, and The Country Club.
Two of Tom Doak's designs at Streamsong Blue and Sebonack both fall from the Top 100. The other golf course which may well be just a small hiatus is Yale. We await the re-opening and probable re-entry to the USA Top 100 Ranking.
The Top 25 is pretty steady with most well and truly staples not only in America but also in the World's Top 100.
