100 courses
The ultimate CaddieTrail pursuit — 100 greatest golf courses in America, spanning every landscape, era, and access tier. 85 of the 100 are private, and among them sit the most inaccessible clubs in golf: Augusta National, Pine Valley, Cypress Point, Seminole, and Fishers Island require membership, sponsorship, or an invitation that may never come regardless of persistence. Even guest-friendly private courses operate on years-long waiting lists. The roughly 15 public courses — Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black, TPC Sawgrass, Pinehurst No. 2 — serve as the accessible anchors. Geographic dispersion is extreme, spanning every major US golf region. Budget significant resources and realistically plan for 20–40 years of pursuit. This is not a trail you finish — it's a trail that defines you.
