Golfweek’s Best 30 under 30: The top golf courses opened since 1992 in the U.S.

Count down the top 30 courses of the past three decades, as judged by Golfweek’s panel of raters.

It’s been a crazy string of decades in golf design, with construction going gangbusters through the 1990s and early 2000s before grinding nearly to a complete halt after the financial crisis of 2007 and ’08. Things have picked up a bit in recent years, especially when considering high-end destinations scattered in far-flung locales around the U.S.

Through it all, these are the best 30 courses opened in the past 30 years in the U.S., as voted by Golfweek’s Best panel of raters.

The hundreds of members of our course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on our 10 criteria. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings on each course are averaged to produce a final, cumulative rating.

This ranking is compiled from data included in the 2021 Golfweek’s Best Modern Courses list, and it focuses on the golf courses themselves, not on resorts or private clubs as a whole or other amenities. Each golf course included is listed with its average rating from 1 to 10, its location, architect(s), the year it opened and its status as a private club (p), a resort (r), a daily-fee operation (d) or a real estate development (re).

Bobby Wagner makes Forbes’ 30 under 30 list in sports category

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner was named to Forbes’ 30 under 30 list in the sports category, thanks to strong financial literacy.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner was recognized by popular business magazine “Forbes” on its list of 30 sports figures under the age of 30.

Wagner has always prioritized being financially savvy, and he has always encouraged other athletes to learn those skills as well.

“We should take the time to learn and understand how to make money work for us,” Wagner told Forbes. “Versus working for money.”

Wagner has invested in a handful of startups, including Denali Therapeutics and the Cultural Leadership Fund. He also negotiated his own contract extension, a three-year, $54 million dollar pact that made him the highest-paid inside linebacker of all-time.

Wagner is using a lot of that money to continue investing and growing his business acumen, but he’s also very willing to give back to his community – as evidenced by his recent decision to buy groceries for low-income families at a Safeway in West Seattle last month.

Wagner will look to build on his strong 2019 season when the 10-2 Seahawks take on the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
