Welcome to Golfweek’s Best 2022 list of top private golf courses in the U.S., as judged by our international panel of raters.

The hundreds of members of that ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on 10 criteria on a points basis of 1 through 10. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings are averaged to produce these rankings.

All the courses on this list are private and don’t accept daily-fee or resort play.

KEY: (m) modern, built in 1960 or after; (c) classic, built before 1960. For courses with a number preceding the (m) or (c), that is where the course ranks on Golfweek’s Best lists for top 200 modern and classic courses in the U.S. Also included with many courses are links to recent stories about that layout.

I arrived at Ballyneal amidst approaching storms. I thought the day would be a wash out due to the impending storms. However, I decided to venture out inbetween passing thunderstorms and wait to see if the sun would appear. I decided to situate myself by the 3rd tee at Ballyneal and to my delight the sun appeared for a brief moment allowing me to capture this dramatic shot of the hole. I susequently captured several dramatic shots this day with the backdrop of the dark and ominous clouds in the distance.
