2020 - 2021
We thought it would be fun to rank the best courses in America. A few of our members who are panelists for other publications helped us come up with solid criteria. We rank each course on a scale of 1-10 in a variety of categories that are important to us while enjoying this great game. We average all those scores and come up with a total score for each course. We don't do this professionally and its simply a means to add to our personal experience and engage in architectural discussion in our forum. Please don't take us too seriously! - Preserved Links Membership
