PGA Championship Host Golf Courses

Fancy Playing a PGA Championship Golf Course?

Did you know?

Out of golf's four majors, the PGA Championship routinely has the deepest field in golf, and is, therefore, the toughest tournament in the game to win.

That might come as a surprise considering we'd guess the majority of golfers would pick The Masters or either of the Opens as the major they'd most like to conquer, but needless to say, a tournament such as the USPGA requires some serious golf courses on which the best players in the world can compete for the Wannamaker Trophy!

One of the great things about golf is that we mere mortals can follow in the footsteps of our golfing superheroes and tee it up at the exact same courses they compete on for golf's greatest prizes. Well, having said that, you probably won't be teeing it up at Augusta National any time soon, but when it comes to PGA Championship host venues, there are plenty that you can tick off your golf bucket list on a dream USA Golf Holiday.

Pinehurst, No.2 Course

In 1951 and before Great Britain teamed up with the rest of Europe to take on the dominant Team USA, the Ryder Cup was held at the famous Pinehurst Resort. Such as the times, Sam Snead led the US to a overwhelming victory with GB only picking up 2 and a half points.

The No 2 course at Pinehurst has since hosted three US Opens and is considered as the toughest to have ever done so. The course tests even the most elite golfers and will have you relishing the prospect of taking on the layout where so many pros have played.

"Pinehurst is known for its crowned, undulating greens, which are some of the most difficult and widely celebrated in the world, it is clear that Pinehurst No. 2’s main design features were born out of Scottish influence, with Ross having cut his teeth at Royal Dornoch before he left for America."

Champion Course at PGA National

Originally designed by Tom Fazio, the course has been more recently reworked by golf’s most celebrated player - Jack Nicklaus. Featuring some of the most daunting closing holes on the PGA Tour, the so called ‘Bear Trap’ has ruined the round of the many of the game’s greats.

PGA National like it’s refurbisher, is one of the most acclaimed courses in the States having hosted both the Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship - to this day it also hosts the annual Honda Classic which in recent years has been won by Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Adam Scott.
