Pennsylvania Has 3 Of The Top 100 Golf Courses In America

The season is upon us!

Early morning tee times, excuses to hit the range, buying new clubs to make you play better.

Golf season is here! Luckily for us some of the BEST courses in all of America are just a short drive away.

“After panelists filed their evaluations, Golf Digest calculated the scores of the categories (scores in the Shot Values and Layout Variety categories count double) and totaled the averages to determine the overall rankings. The result is a new set of rankings we’re proud of—and we’re sure you’ll enjoy digging deeper” (Golf Digest)

Rankings of the courses were based upon multiple categories. These categories were then given a score from 1 to 10. Scores were based on Shot Options, Challenge, Layout Variety, Aesthetics, Conditioning and Character.

Its no surprise that the 3 courses appearing in the Top 100 are also the top 3 courses in the Pennsylvania rankings.

There are 444 golf courses in Pennsylvania so we have MANY choices when it comes to getting out on the greens.

Pennsylvania Has 3 Of The Top 100 Golf Courses In America and here they are:

  • Oakmont Country Club

    Oakmont was ranked as the the 5th best golf course in America. According to Golf Digest “The USGA has already awarded Oakmont three additional Opens between 2033 and 2049, reinforcing its title as it the Host of the Most U.S. Opens ever.”

  • Aronimink Golf Club

    Aronimink Golf Club was ranked as the 94th best course in American. According to Golf Digest “ A more recent renovation by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, who live nearby, has put the course’s architecture more in line with what aerial photographs depict of the early design, particularly the bunkering that might have been imagined as larger in scale but built in smaller, more scatter-shot formations.”

    In 1926, Aronimink acquired 300 acres in Newtown Square and commissioned Donald Ross to design the historical golf course. On Memorial Day of 1928, the Club moved into the current clubhouse.
