15 Cool U.S. Golf Courses to Play

One of the coolest parts of playing golf is that no two golf courses are the same.

Fundamentally, the game is identical:  you swing the same clubs, and you hit the same ball. But each game varies based on the course you’re playing.

1. Pacific Dunes

– Location: Oregon, USA – Year Built: 2001 – Architect: Tom Doak – Yardage and Par: 6633 yards, par 71

Pacific Dunes is a beautiful course by the ocean. It doesn’t feel like it was built  but discovered. A lot of the formations and sandy bunker lines remain  the same as they have for centuries.

2. Pebble Beach Golf Links

– Location: California, USA – Year Built: 1919 – Architect: Jack Neville and Douglas Grant – Yardage and Par: 6828 yards, par 72

Over the years, Pebble Beach has been home to some of golf’s greatest events. This includes the US  Open, the PGA Championship, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and the  PURE Insurance Championship.

3. Pinehurst No. 2

– Location: North Carolina, USA – Year Built: 1902 – Architect: Donald Ross – Yardage and Par: 7588 yards, par 72

Pinehurst No. 2’s long 18 holes boast the title of having the most golf championships  hosted in the history of US golf. With rolling fairways, legendary  inverted-saucer greens, and tall Longleaf pines, this course is a  must-see for golfers visiting North Carolina.

4. Oakmont Country Club

– Location: Pennsylvania, USA – Year Built: 1903 – Architect: Henry Clay Fownes – Yardage and Par: 7255 yards, par 70

Regarded as the “oldest top-ranked golf course in the United States,” Oakmont remains perhaps one of the most difficult golf courses in the US.

5. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club

– Location: New York, USA – Year Built: 1931 – Architect: William Flynn – Yardage and Par: 6940 yards, par 70

Considered to be one of the earliest golf courses in America, Shinnecock Hills’ architecture hasn’t really been altered in over 50 years.

6. Cypress Point Club

– Location: California, USA – Year Built: 1928 – Architect: Alister Mackenzie – Yardage and Par: 6536 yards, par 72

Regarded as one of the most prestigious golf courses in the entire world, it’s almost impossible to visit Cypress Point without a member inviting you.
