The Old Course at St Andrews: Golf's Most Important Eighteen Holes

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

There is no course in the world that divides opinion on first sight quite like the Old Course at St Andrews. Players who arrive expecting the manicured precision of an American parkland layout will find themselves staring at what appears to be a large, flat field with some bumps in it. The fairways are enormous — absurdly so by modern standards — and the greens are shared between holes going out and holes coming in. It looks, at first glance, like nobody designed it at all. And that, of course, is precisely the point. Nobody did. The land designed itself, over centuries, and what remains is the most important eighteen holes in the game.

Chambers Bay Crowned America's Best Public Golf Course for 2026

Chambers Bay, the striking links-style course perched above Puget Sound in University Place, Washington, has been named the top public golf course in the United States in the 2026 Golfers’ Choice rankings published by GolfPass.

The rankings, which are based on more than 226,000 reviews submitted by recreational golfers throughout 2025, evaluate courses across seven categories: value, conditions, layout, pace of play, staff friendliness, off-course amenities, and overall experience. Unlike rankings produced by panels of industry insiders, the Golfers’ Choice lists are entirely consumer-driven — by the people who actually pay to play these courses.
