What do golfers think are the best private courses in America?
Not editors. Not architects. Not a hand-selected panel.
Golfers.
TheGrint’s Top 100 U.S. Private Courses are built from years of course ratings, personal rankings, rounds played, and comparisons made across one of the largest golf communities in the world.
Many of golf’s iconic names rose to the top. Others may surprise you.
Here are No. 50 through No. 1.
Which course would be at the top of your list?

What would a ranking of America’s best public golf courses look like if it were built from millions of golfers instead of a panel of experts?
We now have an answer.
Golfers on TheGrint have logged tens of millions of rounds, rated the courses they have played, built personal rankings, and compared their experiences over time.
Together, that data creates a different kind of Top 100. One shaped by the golfers who actually book the tee times, make the trips, lose the balls, and decide whether a course lived up to the hype.
Introducing No. 100 through No. 51 of TheGrint’s Top 100 U.S. Public Courses.
The Top 50 arrives tomorrow, or see ALL of the Top 100 Lists inside TheGrint app (link in bio)
