Easily the best & most beautiful courses, & must lead the nation per capita.

 I thought they would come in second behind Florida 

[Mike Honcho 5,466]

Apparently California doesn't have any golf courses! 

[Vikings4ever 569]

Missed California: 957. Florida or California was my guess.

I’ll put up PNW as a whole for top tier region. Just give me Oregon, Washington, Idaho…big problem is can’t play in decent weather like 4 months of the year

Funny and great book about this topic of best courses in US

This guy played everywhere. I recall him hyping Wisconsin quite a bit IIRC.

No I haven’t actually, fair point. I’ve seen photos of course.

my father and brother (belongs to the Olympic club) are big golfers. growing up, most vacations were golf related. i have played many wonderful courses (hilton head, pinehurst, doral, torrey pines, pebble, etc). The USA is so diverse that we are fortunate to have a wide range of scenic courses.

I’m pretty sure the number is private and public courses 

[Tree of Knowledge 2,162]

I bet those numbers are way down from 20 years ago.  It’s sad how many courses we lost in my area.  

[SUXBNME 1,600]

My guess was CA. Totally forgot about FL.

 

At least I have 2 aces to my credit (humble brag)

[MikeMatt 396]

My guess was California based on size - that’s what she said.
