Dramatic elevation changes of 50–70 feet are just part of the challenge of this visually stunning locale. A shot-makers course, Ballyhack features 150-yard fairways, gouged-out bunkers and rugged terrain. Don’t forget to greet the family of African Boer Goats, who live near the 14th green.

West End, North Carolina

No. 10 Best Private Course in North Carolina – Golfweek 2020
Rustic, secluded and peaceful, Dormie Club’s 310 acres melt into the rolling hills. The only original Coore & Crenshaw design in North Carolina features a 241-yard reverse Redan par three and plays very fast. Definitely a bucket list course.
Victoria National, a true test of tenacity
Newburgh, Indiana

Are you up to the challenge? Covering 418 acres and holding more than 500 million gallons of water, this course carved from an abandoned coal mine culminates in The Gauntlet: five of the most difficult holes found anywhere in golf.
ArborLinks, centrally located a million miles from ordinary
Nebraska City, Nebraska
Architect: Arnold Palmer
No. 5 Best Private Course in Nebraska – Golfweek 2020
Off-grid in the Nebraska countryside, the first Dormie Network club spans 300+ acres of pure golf. You’ll be surprised by this club, found down a dirt road, and surrounded by cornfields and prairie. The 18th green features a drive-through silo along the South Table Creek, and historic Arbor Day Farm is just a short hike away.
Briggs Ranch, showcasing Texas Hill Country
San Antonio, Texas
Architect: Tom Fazio
No. 182 of the Next 100 Modern – Golfweek 2020
Truly a course interesting yet friendly enough to play every day, Briggs Ranch is the epitome of pure understated Texas. Covering more than 260 acres, this is the Southern-most American course with bentgrass greens.

No. 10 Best Private Course in New Jersey – Golfweek 2020
Don’t be fooled by the wide-open first hole—this one gets more challenging as you go. Covering 750 acres of aged woodlands, Hidden Creek is a colorful walk in the woods blanketed in the deafening silence of a course that feels completely your own.
