Tied for Third: A Trio of Excellence

French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye Course, Yocha Dehe at Cache Creek Casino, and The Greenbrier’s Old White Course, all with a solid rating of 6.82. The Greenbrier, in particular, is quite the gem as it dates back to before 1960, showcasing a classic design that draws golf lovers from all over.

A Variety of Courses to Explore

50 courses are ranked, including a mix of modern courses (those built after 1960) and some classic ones (built before 1960). This diversity is what makes the rankings exciting; they cater to different preferences and playing styles. Some noteworthy courses that stand out include Barona Creek with a rating of 6.61, We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro Course rated at 6.60, and Spirit Hollow at 6.44.

Turning Stone Resort: A Golfer’s Paradise

If you’re looking for a resort that offers a range of golfing experiences, Turning Stone Resort Casino should be on your radar! With three stunning courses—Atunyote, Kaluhyat, and Shenendoah—it’s no wonder this place is recognized in the rankings. The Kaluhyat course even features a slope of 145, making it one of New York’s toughest courses and drawing comparisons to the infamous Bethpage Black layout.

Atunyote is particularly renowned for being a former PGA Tour venue, having hosted events from 2006 to 2010. Plus, the entire Turning Stone property is owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Nation of New York, which is currently investing $400 million to enhance accommodations and dining options!
