I'm a sucker for these lists of the "Best of [ Something ] in Each State". So even though I don't play golf, I do enjoy watching it, particularly a close tournament, because of the nerviness involved.
This list of top golf courses in each state thus caught my interest.
The Best Golf Course in Each State
Since I'm in Maryland, I naturally checked to see which course in Maryland was picked. It's the Bulle Rock course in northeastern Maryland, just inland from Havre de Grace. I've been near it.
The introduction indicates that these courses are accessible to the public, because there are likely great (and with accompanying exorbitant membership fees) private courses. For example, how is the best course in California NOT Pebble Beach? Or in Georgia, wouldn't Augusta National be the number one run of 18 holes? So if you play, these are playable and your wallet might survive the experience.
Two other notes: The course picked in Wisconsin is in the middle of the rural center of the state, which might mean it's not too hard to get a tee time. The private Whistling Straits course on the shore of Lake Michigan north of Sheboygan might be the overall best course.
Two, there is a lot of great scenery around these courses. The Divide Ranch & Club in Colorado stands out in this category. It also happens to be just a little north of the mining towns Ouray and Telluride.
