It seems like you can’t open up X or Instagram without another Top 100 golf ranking appearing. Some, however, hold more weight in the golf community than others and the GOLF Magazine US Top 100 comes out pretty much near the top of the pile.
Every two years the panellists from GOLF Magazine vote on their top 100 courses in theUSA, in the odd years they turn their attention to the World Top 100. The panel is made up of just over 100 members who simply put their choices in ‘buckets’. You can read more about the methodology here. They used to publish a list of the members of the panel too. That seems to have disappeared from the website but hopefully it will come back soon as it brought a welcome transparency.
Here is the list, excuse any fat fingers with my spelling or state attribution in my re-type!
