One of the most beautiful aspects of the game of golf is the variance between playing terrains. There are great courses, and there are terrible ones, but there’s a world of new playing experiences available to you. In this article, we’ll highlight some of the top places to play golf across America.

- Pebble Beach Golf Links is one course that has received much critical acclaim. Located in Pebble Beach, California, the course has brought class and elegance to the game of golf since its inception in 1919. It was ranked the number one public golf course in America in Golf Digest’s 2005 list. The terrain is a thing of beauty, with holes cutting across ragged coastline and the great Pacific Ocean being incorporated into most holes. Spanning 6,737 yards, this 72-par course has been host to numerous golfing events throughout the years, with the 2000 U.S. Open Championships being held the most recently at the course.

- Located in Pinehurst, North Carolina is the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club. This historic golfing locale has been around since 1895, and features 8 separate golf courses, allowing for much diversity in play. Spanning over 2,000 acres, you can spend weeks just getting used to the different courses. A wonderful place to vacation, Pinehurst also features much in the way of accommodations and recreation.

- Shadow Creek is a golf course located in North Las Vegas. Designed by an architect of much critical acclaim named Tom Brizio, the course is featured in an extravagant package that you can purchase at one of Vegas’s MGM Mirage properties. Upon setting your tee time, a private limousine will pick you up at the hotel and transport you to the course. The landscape of the course is highlighted by beautiful scenes, with waterfalls, creeks and mountains dotting the landscape. Be sure to check out the 18th hole at Shadow Creek; it is a trademark of the beauty and careful thought that went into creating the course.

These are merely a few of the best public courses throughout America. There are hundreds of wonderful courses out there, and as a golfer, you’re encouraged to make at least a few pilgrimages to the beautiful courses our land has to offer.

Need help with name of Country Club/Golf Course -?
About 20 years ago I went to my dad's friend's Country Club (very expensive I believe about 100k a year) to play golf. This was in Bernardsville New Jersey or Close by. The name was an American Indian name. And what I remember vividly is that they had one hole where you have to hit the ball from the top of a cliff and the hole is down on a small island in the middle of a lake that you would have to use the boat to get to to putt. I want to recommend this place to a wealthy friend that is an avid golfer but I cannot remember the name. That hole is the most memorable thing I remember. Besides the fact that most of the members in that club were hardcore republicans. You would see many rich or powerful people there. Does anyone know where I am talking about?? I google mapped a couple of places but I am not sure whether or not it's any of those or not. The names I have found so far are: Roxiticus Golf Course, Somerset Hills Country Club, Basking Ridge Country Club…. That's all I got so far. I know the name was native American Indian. And one of the holes. And also that you could not join without one or two members endorsing you, and that it was supremely expensive.

I hope someone knows this place and can tell me. The area is around Bernardsville, or Morristown.
It's not those two.. but I am wondering now whether or not it was Somerset…. The par-3 12th hole rests on a peninsula that extends into a pond on the left. It's very similar in shape to Auguata National's 16th. Still not sure…but I distinctly remember the shot being a drop from the cliff into the sand which was an island in the lake.
