Golfing is taking on a whole new vibe, and it’s not just about hitting the ball on a lush green. The rankings now boast a handy state-by-state list, making it super simple to find the best courses in your neck of the woods. If you thought you were limited to a few big names, think again!

One state making waves is Wisconsin, which has stepped up its golf game significantly and now ranks among the top five states in the nation for the sport. With new designs and renovations surfacing, the Badger State has become a must-visit for avid golfers. Who knew Wisconsin would be drawing so much attention?
New Developments and Renovations
There’s some serious buzz going on in Florida and Texas, where developers are opening new, high-profile golf courses. These fresh designs are taking advantage of natural features like sand veins, particularly in states such as South Carolina and Florida, to create unique and remarkable experiences on the fairways. Ever thought of playing golf in the sand? Now might be the time to find out!
Accessibility Beyond the Cities
Golf is no longer just for those living in metropolitan areas. Emerging hubs like Ardmore and Aiken are proving that you can find incredible golf experiences away from the hustle and bustle. These unexpected gems are welcoming more players who crave a day on the greens without venturing into crowded city courses.
The Ranking Process
So, how does GOLF come up with these rankings? The process involves grouping courses into various “buckets” based on their perceived quality. This way, panelists can share their insights and experiences, adding depth and diversity to their assessments. To maintain integrity, voters are carefully vetted, and any connections to eligible courses are transparently disclosed. This ensures a fair evaluation process, focusing on the course design and architecture over fancy amenities.
Exclusive Resorts for Every Golfer
If you’re looking for a luxurious golfing getaway, there are some exclusive resorts across the nation that stand out. Consider trying the Lodge at Torrey Pines in California, where you can enjoy two 18-hole championship courses paired with luxury amenities, or the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in Hawaii, known for its breathtaking oceanfront course. And let’s not forget about Pebble Beach Resorts in California, renowned for its world-class courses and leisure activities.

No matter where you are in the United States, this new ranking has something for everyone. From stunning resorts to hidden gems, the growing enthusiasm for golf means it’s a great time to grab your clubs and explore all that the golfing world has to offer.
