(WXYZ) — Golf Digest released its updated list of “America’s 100 Great Golf Courses” on Tuesday and two courses in Michigan made the list.
According to Golf Digest, the 2025-26 ranking is based on nearly 88,000 evaluations over the 10-year scoring cycle by course-ranking panelists. Then, the company’s statistician determines the rest.
Two courses in Michigan made the list, but both were in the top 20.
Oakland Hills Country Club’s South Course came in at No. 20, the same spot as its previous ranking.
The South Course reopened in 2021 after a restoration project by Gil Hanse. It hosted the U.S. Junior Amateur last year and will host the 2034 and 2051 U.S. Opens, plus several other USGA championships.
Crystal Downs in Frankfort came in at No. 15 on the list, dropping one spot from No. 14. It swapped places with Friar’s Head Golf Club in New York, which moved from 15 to 14.
Another club near Michigan made the list. Inverness Club in Toledo was ranked No. 62. The club hosted the 2021 Solheim Cup and will also host the 2027 U.S. Women’s Open and 2029 U.S. Amateur.
The last time Golf Digest released its list, Arcadia Bluffs was on the list, but it has since dropped off.
