Top 10 Golf Spots in the USA
10 items
By
Clarissa Coughanour
The 10 most bucket-list golf courses in America — iconic, public, and ranked by a mom who'd lose balls at all of them.
1
The bucket-list round of all bucket-list rounds — I'd probably lose a ball to the Pacific on the 7th and frame the scorecard anyway.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Scotland energy without the flight to Scotland — wind, dunes, ocean, and not a golf cart in sight. This is a pilgrimage, not a tee time.
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
The greens here are shaped like upside-down bowls and my putts would roll right off — and I'd still tell everybody I played the Home of American Golf.
Pinehurst No. 2
Florida girl's home entry! The island green on 17 is 137 yards of pure anxiety — I'd bring extra balls and zero shame.
TPC Sawgrass
The course that hosted the 'War by the Shore' — the ocean wind decides your score here, not you. Beautiful and absolutely ruthless.
The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island
It looks like Ireland, it's actually Wisconsin, and there are sheep. A thousand bunkers and my ball would find every single one.
Whistling Straits
A public course with a warning sign telling regular people to stay away? That's not a deterrent, that's a dare. U.S. Open golf that anybody can book.
Bethpage Black Course
A city course with U.S. Open history and those cliff views? Tiger won a major here on one leg — I'd just be happy to finish on two.
Torrey Pines Golf Course
Glaciers built this one and the U.S. Open came to Wisconsin for the first time because of it — big, wild, and you walk every step.
Erin Hills
Three superstar-designed courses in the middle of Florida that look like another planet — this is the golf trip hiding in our own backyard.
Streamsong Resort
