Top 50 PGA Tour 2K21 Courses (as of January 15th)

[cd06]

Inspired by the power rankings on Reddit (which were utterly dreadful), I thought I'd make a top 50 courses list myself. Only guideline I set myself for this is no ports (although designs started in 2019 and finished in this game were fine, such as Whiskey Resort). Hope you like the list. I couldn't be bothered to tag anyone but I don't think I would have anyway. It's just my opinion as well and I know you'll all have your faves. I made this last night which explains the date above

You’re doing some heavy lifting trying to sort out all of these courses. While I would certainly debate the places of some of your rankings, at first glance, I don’t see any glaring omissions.

[cd06]

There were a lot that could have been in... 23 of the 33 dream team courses got in and two of them were really close. Since there were no courses from 2019 or 2, Frankston Heath and Falling Water were omitted but would have been in the top 5 without a doubt.

[cd06]

Also, it's all up for debate - I can definitely see some of the lower courses in this being much higher for others - but I'm glad you've seen the list and Revival was deserving of its spot.

[tpetro]

3 nods? Appreciate it buddy, know these lists are a b!tch to compile.

Is Potunk probably too high? Yep. Am I going to complain? Nope.

[cd06]

Haha - at least I know why I had it as high as I did. Stupid, stupid good and just pure golf. Probably explains why Lido ranked so well.

[lessthanbread]

Really can’t find much to argue with here. Killer list man. Honored to have Minnehaugen grace it. Would be awesome to see updates every so often but I know there’s a ton of work that went into it

[15eicheltower9]

HAVE YOU NOT PLAYED RATTLESNAKE GULCH!!!!!!







Kidding of course, that track is hot garbage. Can't really disagree with the list. That's a tremendous amount of commitment.

[Q]

Thanks for the list, I feel like you've always been a champion for my courses in this game, can't wait to disappoint you with my next course.

All kidding aside this is a very solid list that I can mostly agree with. I would never be disappointed to play any of these courses.

[cd06]

Thanks for having a look at the list everyone! In hindsight there were a couple that really could have been in this list (Shaker Valley, Eucalypt National and Playa Saona were pretty close) but I'll probably hold off from updating it until after the world cup. Glad y'all liked it.

[golfwolfuk]

Nice work and commitment avery06,. Thank you.
Ps. Potunk isn’t too high at all

[rustysblanket]

Props for having Bryn Awelon that high on your list. That course is criminally under played and underrated.

[cd06]

A couple of my course opinions changed as the dream team progressed, but Bryn Awelon never stopped impressing me. The low-lying holes really stood out to me. Thanks to everyone who checked out the list so far and I know there'll be more to discuss after the World Cup!

Well, we definitely agree on something! I went back to Potunk once again and realised how brilliant it is... I probably lost a little focus when putting some courses in this lost but it would have been top 15 anyway. If I'd have included 2019 courses Frankston Heath would have came top 3...

[b101]

Good list. I’m definitely not biased.

Honestly, pretty close to the top 50 courses I’d have had - glad not to have to rank them though. Great stuff and thanks for all the posts in all the threads as you’ve gone through them.
