There are literally thousands of golf courses in the United
States, some the only place to play for hundreds of miles and others
right next to one another. To choose only Seven Great American Golf
Courses is no easy task.
Here's what we came up with after getting suggestions from literally thousands of players from all over the country.
Pebble Beach Golf Links at Pebble Beach, California began its golfing dynasty in 1919. The Pacific coast provides an incredible view and sea breezes affect the path of the ball without notice. The greens have a slope and the fairways present a challenge as the ball
soars over the edge of the ocean cliff to hopefully land on the greens instead of plopping in the Pacific Ocean. Legends are a part of the course, with annual and rotating championships part of the lore.
Charlotte, North Carolina has Quail Hollow Club, a private course with Bermuda grass and great golfing weather nearly every day of the year. The course, opened in 1961, hosted the Kemper Open for ten years and now hosts PGA's Wells Fargo Championship Tour. Arnold Palmer modified the course one time and Tom Fazio redesigned Quail Hollow twice.
Famous architect Tom Fazio helped in the design of theWynn Golf Club and Course in Las Vegas, Nevada, an eighteen-hole course with manmade elevations rising above the Strip and landscaping with streams and waterfalls. A forrest challenges golfers of all levels, causing them to review techniques and strategic tactics needed to conquer this beautiful course.
The beautiful emerald green fairways at Gatlinburg Golf Course in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee enhance many of the best views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The layout of the course demands concentration and strategy while reflecting the ambience of the woods and greens architect William Langford used to design the course. Renovated in 1993 and 2007, all levels of golfers will thrill to this opportunity to best one of the most exciting golf courses while enjoying its beauty.
Corona, California features the Golf Club at Glen Ivy and its famousTrilogy Course, designed by architect Ted Robinson, Sr. Citrus trees and hillsides combine with the incredible canyons that are a part of the Cleveland National Forest. Lovely views and incredible greens challenge the player while allowing a feeling of relaxation due to several playing options for golfers at all levels.
The final two courses are across the country from each other, starting with Selbyville, Delaware and the Bayside Resort Golf Club with its Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. The coastline enhances the beauty of the woodlands and wetlands that combine to create the challenge of determining how best to avoid traps and hazards. Thousands of miles away, the 18-hole Destroyer Course at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course beckons. Opened in 1966 in Cypress, California, its upgrade a few years ago improved the 6,780 yards of tough decisions and challenges for experienced golfers.
One of the most amazing features of any golf course is the continual maintenance that is required to keep it perfect for those who use the greens.
Golf is a game of patience, concentration and skill. Players demand the very best personal performance and expect the greens to be in excellent condition. Even one bad cut on a section of grass affects the angle of direction when a ball lands.
Customer satisfaction has much to do with the rating a course gets and good management strives for the best recommendations possible. Great courses host tournaments, drawing international attention, television coverage and new players.
At one time nine-hole courses were typical and eighteen-hole courses considered a privilege, but now twenty-seven and thirty-six-hole venues are not uncommon. Competition keeps them in prime condition as the game of golf continues to grow in popularity.
