There are plenty of reasons why a course is selected to host a PGA Tour event beyond its architectural merits. Of course, the layout must sufficiently test the best players in the world, but the regional market, logistics and history all play important roles in landing a tour event as well.
That said, it’s no secret the tour travels to many of our country’s finest courses. Of the 38 events played in the United States during the 2022-’23 PGA Tour season, 17 are currently ranked on at least one of Golf Digest's national rankings—America's 100 Greatest, Second 100 Greatest and 100 Greatest Public.
In this collection, we rank the 38 U.S. courses across 19 different states that will host a PGA Tour event this season, based on the scores from our 1,900 course-ranking panelists. You’ll likely find few surprises in our top five courses—three of which will host a major championship this year. (This list only includes events played in the U.S.—there are nine international events scheduled this season.)
You might be surprised how the architectural merits of a layout don’t always align with the prestige of the tour event played there. Our panelists evaluate courses on seven scoring criteria, ranging from Shot Options and Layout Variety to Conditioning and Aesthetics.
See the collection below to learn more about each course and read reviews from our course-ranking panelists, all arising from our new searchable course database, Places to Play, which features course reviews, experts’ opinions and star ratings.
