Plays extremely fast, can get the greens rolling at a 13 any day they want to. Conditions are always great and a really good variety of holes (16 sucks but whatever). Best public in the metro and if you can catch it at less than $100, it’s a good to great value.

A friend recently told me that T&C is his litmus test. If someone hates it (many do) then they’re just not on his intellectual level. And I agree!

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Hudson, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
