“It’s not just the exclusive private clubs we honor for their architecture,” writes Golfweek in its “Our Opinion” column. “Sure, there’s something sacred about the holes at ultra-private clubs like Cypress Point (No. 1 Classic) and Sand Hills (No. 1 Modern). But a vast majority of the country’s golfers play on daily-fee, publicly accessible layouts. ????\u0412\u00a6our state-by-state list reveals no shortage of wonderful, challenging and beautiful places for everyday golfers.”<\/p>\n
