Golf Digest – 24August11
Golf Digest is a monthly golf magazine published by Condé Nast Publications in the United States. It is a generalist golf publication covering recreational golf and men’s and women’s competitive golf. Condé Nast Publications also publishes the more specialized Golf for Women, Golf World and Golf World Business. The magazine started in 1950, and was sold to The New York Times Company in 1969. The Times company sold their magazine division toCondé Nast in 2001.
“America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses”
Since 1985 Golf Digest has produced biennial rankings of “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses”. The courses are voted on by a panel of several hundred golf experts. Although Pine Valley Golf Club has topped the list every year except 2001, when Pebble Beach Golf Links ranked first, it was again outranked on the 2009-10 list – this time byAugusta National Golf Club. The magazine also produces lists of the best new courses, the best golf resorts and the best courses in each U.S. state. Before the “Greatest” rankings were introduced in 1985 Golf Digest produced lists called at different times America’s 100 Most Testing Courses and America’s 100 Greatest Tests of Golf.
The top ten on the 2009-10 list are as follows:[1]

[edit]”America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses”
Alongside the “100 Greatest Courses” ranking, and using the same methodology, Golf Digest publishes a list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses”. In this context, “public” means a golf course that is open to play by the public, as opposed to a private club—not necessarily a course operated by a governmental entity.
The top ten on the 2007-08 list, also published in May 2007, was as follows:
1. Pebble Beach Golf Links – Pebble Beach, California
2. Pacific Dunes Golf Course – Bandon, Oregon
3. Pinehurst No. 2 – Pinehurst, North Carolina
4. The Straits Course, Whistling Straits – Haven, Wisconsin
5. Bethpage State Park, Black Course – Farmingdale, New York
6. Shadow Creek Golf Course – North Las Vegas, Nevada
7. Bandon Dunes Golf Course – Bandon, Oregon
8. The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island – Kiawah Island, South Carolina
9. Prince Golf Course – Princeville, Hawaiʻi
10. Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course – Arcadia, Michigan
Of these courses, the only one that is operated by a governmental entity is Bethpage Black.
In addition to its national rankings, Golf Digest also ranks courses at a state level. For example, in a 1998 survey of Connecticut Public Golf Courses Golf Digest ranked Crestbrook Park Golf Course as one of Connecticut’s top public golf courses.
[edit]”100 Best Golf Courses Outside the United States”
The magazine also compiles a list of the leading courses outside the United States. This is created using information from national golf associations, plus votes by the same panelists supplemented by some additional ones with international knowledge.
In 2007 the most represented countries were Scotland with fourteen courses in the top 100, Canada with ten, England with ten, Ireland with ten (eight in the Republic of Ireland and two in Northern Ireland), Canada with nine, and Australia with eight. The top 10 were:
