Special course with rich history, very challenging off the tee, and commands respect around the greens. Yes, some weak holes but none that are remotely offensive. I firmly believe QHC is a fantastic course and an excellent championship test…

Pinehurst’s crown jewel, No. 2, is a masterpiece. I’ve been lucky to play here several times and it never gets old. Donald Ross’s architecture here is so so good with tons of variety that forces you to hit tons of different shots.

Really enjoyed my round out here at Trump Charlotte. The tee boxes were burnt out as it is the time of season where they do maintenance. A little steep on the rate for a visitor.

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. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope 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. State pages include courses across North Carolina. Rankings refresh about hourly.
