I travel to Florida almost every month and have played each of the central Florida courses on the list in the past 45 days.  I’m sorry but The Club at Eaglebrooke should not be in the same conversation as the others.  Tranquilo, Waldorf Astoria and The New Course at Grand Cypress are in a class by themselves (The layout, wildlife and beauty of Tranquilo are insane, the Waldorf has the best greens in the Orlando area and the New Course is the most fun course I have ever played).  Pine Barrens and El Campeon are close behind (Pine Barrens is extremely hard especially from the tips).  There are 5-10 other courses in Central Florida that should be rated higher then Eaglebrooke.  Bella Collina, Orange County Crooked Cat, Champions Gate Country Club, Grand Cyprus North/South/East, Orange County Panther Lake, LPGA Hills Course and even Eagle Creek. The rating for central flordida should be: 1. Tranquilo 2. The New Course 3. Bella Collina 4. Waldorf Astoria 5. El Campeon 6. Orange County Crooked Cat7. Pine Barrens 8. Grand Cyprus North/South/East9. LPGA Hills Course10. Champions Gate Country Club

for apublic course look at island west in south carolina has been writen up in golf digest

Verrado is a nice course, nowhere near anyone's top 50, not even top 25 in Arizona. Copper Canyon, even less so. TPC is fun, given the notoriety of the tournament, but who rates these courses higher than the Troon courses, We-Ko-Pa courses, Boulders, Quintero, Southern Dunes, on and on?- NO ONE!

Well, please get on there and rate them, TerryF :). These lists are reflective of our readers' opinions, not ours. 

I throw in a rating now and then, not that often. Usually only if the experience differs from my expectation, but do people really need a rating on Troon, Boulders, We-Ko-Pa? There are so many resources out there that promote them for the great courses that they are.

DUMBEST LIST I HAVE EVER SEEN. MUST BE ALL PUBLINKS PLAYERS WHO DREAMED UP THIS ABORTION.

THE MORONS THAT PICKED THESE HAD BETTER STICK TO PICKING THEIR NOSES. HOW CAN A "BEST" LIST NOT INCLUDE COURSES LIKE PEBBLE BEACH, NATIONAL GOLF LINKS, SHINNECOCK,CYPRESS POINT, ETC ETC ETC????? WHAT IS THIS- THE CHEAP CHARLIE LIST OF BETTER SECOND RATE COURSES?

The methodology is explained in the introduction.

A great list....I have played a numer of these courses and would concur with the assessments ! However, I do question why Pebble Beach would not be included in this list of the "Best

Pebble Beach is No. 1 on our Monterey Destination Guide, but it didn't receive enough votes to qualify for 2015 specifically. http://www.golfadvisor.com/destinations/17-monterey-peninsula-ca/

Oak creek not even close to Sedona golf course. What are they thinking?

Oakcreek CC is located 7.5 miles south of Sedona.
