Kiven J. Molina Blogs: Top 100 Public Courses in the USA

2016 Most Wanted - Top 100 Golf Courses

Earlier this season we posted our rankings of the Top 10 Golf Courses for several of the most popular golf destination states. Now it's time to round out the year by providing our list of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the USA. If you're looking for world-class golf, each of the courses on this list makes for a perfect getaway destination.

About Our Rankings

To generate our rankings, we used data from TheGrint, a golf handicap and stat tracking service that also allows golfers to rate the courses they play. Here are the pertinent details:

Ranking derived from over 200,000 golf course reviews from golfers just like you
Only reviews from the last 365 days are considered
A course must have a minimum of 30 reviews is required in order to qualify for ranking

Nearly every aspect of a golf course review is subjective and there's always going to be a difference of opinion, so healthy (and hopefully polite) debate is to be expected.

To make this list a bit more interesting, we've provided an interactive map that allows you to sort and filter by course name, state, and rank. Feel free to click and zoom to your hear's content. For any display, the largest dot will always show the highest ranked course on the map. Smaller dots, lower ranking. You get it.
