Golfweek's Best 2019: Top 100 courses you can play
[jwplayer yBVcxrw4-9JtFt04J]
These are the top 100 public-access golf courses in Golfweek's Best 2019 list of Best Courses You Can Play.
The members of our course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on our 10 criteria. They also file a single, overall rating on each course.
Those overall ratings on each course are averaged together to produce a final rating for each course. Then each course is ranked against other courses in its state, or nationally, to produce the final rankings.
