Each month the Reserve List evolves. Favourites stay. New courses earn their place. There will always be somewhere worth playing.
Architect: Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
Modern links done properly. Width, angles, and options everywhere, with the Atlantic looming as both backdrop and threat. Dramatic without being theatrical — the land does the talking.
Architect: Rod Whitman
A true links in the old sense — firm, strategic, and quietly demanding. Less spectacle than its sibling, but arguably more golf.
Architect: Tom Doak
Doak at full volume, but never careless.Fairways hang on cliff edges, angles matter more than power, and recovery is rarely straightforward.
Architect: Alister MacKenzie & AlexRussell
One of the great strategic courses on earth. Firm sandbelt turf, greens that reward thought, and bunkering that dictates play without shouting.
Architect: Harry Colt
Serious links golf with real teeth. Routed through towering dunes, shaped by wind, and utterly uncompromising when conditions turn.
Architect: Old Tom Morris
Simplicity elevated to genius. Greens dominate decisions, natural contours everywhere, and a rhythm that feels inevitable.
Architect: Robert Chambers & GeorgeMorris
Flat, fast, and brutally honest. Positioning off the tee is everything, and the wind does the rest. No hiding place.
Architect: Old Tom Morris (with later refinements)
Perhaps the purest Open venue of them all.Clean sightlines, exacting greens, and relentless exposure.
Architect: Harry Colt
Subtle, idiosyncratic, and deeply intelligent. Every hole looks benign until it isn’t. A course that improves the more you pay attention.
Architect: Alister MacKenzie
Architecture, routing, and setting in perfect balance. The inland holes are as strong as the famous coastal stretch.
Architect: Alister MacKenzie & BobbyJones
Often misunderstood, endlessly copied, never matched. Strategic lines, bold contouring, and greens that dictate everything.
Architect: George C. Thomas Jr.
Golden Age architecture with modern relevance. Width off the tee, complexity into the greens, constant decisions.
Architect: Donald Ross
Ross distilled. Wind-exposed, strategically pure, and relentlessly demanding from the second shot onwards.
Architect: David McLay Kidd
Scale without chaos. Enormous fairways, huge greens, and endless routes to the hole. Playable, fun, and thoughtful.
Architect: Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
Minimalism pushed to the edge — literally. Routing freedom, exposure, and constant wind interaction.
Architect: Rob Collins & Tad King
Compact, clever, and endlessly replayable. Strategic interest packed into nine holes without compromise.
Architect: Mike Strantz
Bold shaping, forced carries, and visual deception everywhere. Architecture with personality.
Architect: Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
Minimalist golf on a vast sandy canvas. Width encourages freedom, greens quietly dictate everything.
Architect: Tom Doak
More demanding and more cerebral. Angles matter, positioning matters, and bravado is punished.
Architect: Gil Hanse
The boldest of the trio. Elevation, scale, and visual intimidation grounded in strategy.
Architect: Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
Designed for match play and refreshingly unconcerned with medal scores. Strategic, quirky, and deeply engaging.
Architect: A.W. Tillinghast (restored byGil Hanse)
Classic Tillinghast brought back to life.Strong green sites, dramatic land movement, and real decisions.
Architect: Pete Dye
A serious test for serious players. Demanding tee shots, exacting approaches, Dye with discipline.
