Ranking the world’s top 10 composite golf courses

Here are 10 of the best composite courses – and a couple honorable mentions – to host some of golf’s biggest events through the years.

Congressional Country Club

U.S. Open/PGA Championship

The 10th Hole of the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club as seen on Thursday, May 20, 2010 in Bethesda, Md.

Congressional’s Blue Course hosted the 1964 U.S. Open, 1976 PGA Championship and seven Kemper Opens on the PGA Tour from 1980-86, while borrowing two holes from the Gold Course and dropping the 16th and par-3 18th. In the 1994 Senior Open at Congressional and the 2011 U.S. Open, the USGA included the par-3 18thhole, but changed the routing of the course so that the 18th was played as the 10th.
