New York, NY – Golfweek has unveiled its prestigious Best 2025 rankings, highlighting top-notch golf courses across the United States, including several outstanding options in New York. The state has emerged as a significant player in the golfing community, with numerous courses earning high placements in both Classic and Modern categories.
The rankings are derived from an extensive evaluation process conducted by a panel of hundreds of experts who assess various aspects of golf course design and playability. These criteria include routing, design integrity, land plan, greens and surrounding areas, the variety of par holes, tree management, course conditioning, and the overall experience of spending four hours on the course. Each golf course underwent a thorough review, and an average rating was calculated from the individual evaluations provided by panel members, generating a comprehensive list of America’s top courses.
For a course to be eligible for inclusion in Golfweek’s Top 200 Classic and Modern lists, it must accumulate at least 25 votes from panel members. As a result, some courses appear in the Best 2025 list without necessarily ranking in the top tiers of Classic or Modern categories. Golfweek distinguishes between these two classifications; Classic courses are defined as those that opened before 1960, while Modern courses are those which debuted after this date.
In total, several New York golf courses earned spots on Golfweek’s Top 100 Classic and Top 100 Modern lists, showcasing the state’s rich golfing diversity. New York boasts an impressive 15 courses in Golfweek’s America’s 100 Greatest Courses, surpassing the 14 from California. Notably, New York features three courses in the top 10 and five within the top 15, demonstrating the depth and quality of its golfing landscape. Although California maintains a lead in the quantity of courses listed in America’s Second 100 Greatest Courses (23 compared to New York’s 17), New York’s selection is marked by its remarkable quality.
Long Island has been particularly recognized for its exceptional golf terrain, with renowned courses like Shinnecock Hills and National Golf Links often cited among the best globally. Golfweek’s Best in New York rankings this year are more inclusive than ever, recognizing a wider range of golf course designs situated throughout the state. This expanded recognition speaks to the growing appreciation for diverse layouts and styles.
Public-access courses in New York also received acknowledgment through Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play for 2025. This selection draws from a blend of user-submitted reviews alongside expert ratings, emphasizing the state’s commitment to providing top-quality golfing experiences to all enthusiasts.
Looking ahead, the spotlight on New York golf is set to intensify with the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in 2025. This prestigious tournament is expected to highlight the caliber of public golf available throughout the state and further elevate its status in the golfing world.
The evolving landscape of golf in New York is reflected in Golfweek’s comprehensive rankings, underscoring the importance of design and playability while continually encouraging the enhancement of golfing experiences across the state. As golfers seek the best courses to challenge their skills and enjoy the sport, New York’s prominent standings in Golfweek’s Best 2025 rankings promise to attract both seasoned players and newcomers alike to its rich golfing heritage.
