Tucked into a 2,000-acre private hunting preserve about 75 miles west of Houston, The Covey at The Big Easy Ranch is the most decorated new course in American golf - Chet Williams's par-72, 7,511-yard masterpiece named Golf Digest's Best New Private Course of 2025. Williams, who also designed Whispering Pines (Texas's No. 1 course), draped his routing across rustic backcountry slopes with 50- to 80-foot elevation changes, weaving holes through groves of pine, post oak, and water oak, framed by waterfalls and stone-lined dry creeks that thread the property. The course is defined by its devilish, multi-tiered green complexes - staggered deep bunkers, severe false fronts that eject short approaches 30 yards back down the fairway, and creative par-5 finishes that demand precision on every shot. Standout moments include the drivable par-4 8th, "Split Decision," with alternate fairways and a multilevel green nestled between two merging creeks, and the small, sectioned fallaway green at the short 15th. Zeon Zoysia fairways and TifEagle greens keep the course in tournament condition year-round.

Golf Digest Best New Private Course of 2025 - Chet Williams's Texas standout took top honors against a celebrated field of new private courses. Ranked #2 in Texas by Top 100 Golf Courses and named the best new course in Texas and the No. 10 course in the state by the Dallas Morning News.

Tucked into the pine-clad Black Hills of Wyoming, just eight miles from the iconic Devils Tower National Monument, The Golf Club at Devils Tower is one of the American West's most quietly spectacular private golf experiences. The course began as a three-hole recreational outlet that sawmill patriarch Jim Neiman Sr. carved out of the wilderness for his employees - a private passion project that was eventually expanded into a full 18-hole championship layout by Phelps-Atkinson Golf Design (Dick Phelps and Kevin Atkinson, ASGCA). The par-72, 7,111-yard course opens with a wide-open prairie front nine before climbing into the ponderosa pines on the back, where the trio of canyon-rim holes 11, 12, and 13 reveals jaw-dropping views of Devils Tower in the distance, and a dramatic par-3 plays over a 100-foot canyon drop with bunkers cut into the cliffside. Seventy-seven bunkers, native-grass framing, and elevation changes throughout reward thoughtful shot-making, with the 17th - affectionately nicknamed "where good rounds go to die" - providing one of the great risk-reward finishing tests in the region. The 2019-opened clubhouse houses the 77 Steakhouse & Saloon, anchored by a fully restored 1895 back-bar from the Cowboy Bar in Belle Fourche, SD, and the property even features its own 5,500-foot private runway for fly-in arrivals. Because of the property's remoteness, the host generously includes one onsite lodging night so the experience naturally becomes a true two-round Wyoming destination weekend for three.

Golfweek's Best (2026) - Top 200 Residential Golf Courses in the United States. Voted the #3 Private Golf Course in Wyoming by Golfweek (2025). Featured on Golf.com's Best Golf Courses in Wyoming for 2024-25, and previously honored as a Golf Digest Best New Course (2007).

Tucked into the rolling old-farm landscape just north of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Hidden Glen at Bentdale Farms is one of the Midwest's most distinctive private golf experiences - a quirky, demanding, links-style design by PB Dye that opened in 2001 on a vast tract of former dairy land in Ozaukee County. The 7,017-yard par-72 layout is wide-open with virtually no tree protection from the gusty Wisconsin wind, and it is defended by classic Dye-family hallmarks: cleverly concealed target lines, dramatic grass mounds, massive multi-tiered greens that run lightning-fast on Providence Bent surfaces, and a series of blind shots beginning at the eighth hole that reward local knowledge and creative shot-making. Standouts include the par-4 third - a Dye-family risk/reward gem that bites off as much pond as you dare - and the diabolical short par-3 sixth, where missing the wrong side of a long, narrow green sends balls collecting in a punishing fall-off zone. Local knowledge is king here; first-time visitors come away humbled and immediately itching to return.

Honored as "Course of the Year" by the Wisconsin Golf Course Owners Association (2009).

Set on the rolling western edge of Hunterdon County, just above the Delaware River in Milford, New Jersey, Oak Hill Golf Club is a beloved, member-owned hidden gem with one of the great backstories in American club golf. Originally born from a group of dedicated employees of the Riegel Paper Corporation in the early 1960s - the founding members were so committed they organized "rock-picking parties" to clear the land themselves - the 18-hole, par-72 layout was designed by William F. Gordon of the prominent eastern golf architecture firm Wm. F. Gordon Company and officially opened in 1967. The course threads through mature oak, walnut, and cherry groves with classic mid-century strategic character: tree-framed tee shots, elevated and crowned greens with false fronts, well-placed bunkering, and a creek that comes into play across several holes. The picturesque par-3 fifth plays downhill over a stream and pond, while the 225-yard 15th - Oak Hill's signature hole - is widely considered one of the toughest par 3s in New Jersey, demanding a long uphill carry through a tree-framed opening to a treacherously sloped green. The finishing stretch rewards the climb to the top of the property with sweeping views of the Delaware River and the rolling countryside beyond.

Set on the rolling high plains of Westminster, just north of Denver with the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains as a constant horizon, The Ranch Country Club is one of the metro area's most established and member-loved private clubs. The 18-hole, par-71, 6,672-yard layout was crafted in 1974 by acclaimed Colorado-based golf architect Richard "Dick" Phelps, ASGCA - the same designer behind The Golf Club at Devils Tower and dozens of other Rocky Mountain region standouts - and was thoughtfully updated by Phelps' longtime design associate Kevin Atkinson in 2000. The course threads through naturally rolling, parkland terrain, with mature tree-lined fairways, small and well-defended greens, and a series of lakes and creeks that come into play on a handful of holes. The setting, the conditioning, and the relaxed Western Slope-style hospitality at the clubhouse - full dining, banquet facilities, and a swimming and tennis complex on a hilltop perch - make for a quintessentially Colorado private-club afternoon. Bring all four players if you can; the host has offered to make space.

Tucked into the rugged, oak-studded hills overlooking the Colorado River just west of downtown Austin, River Place Country Club is a quintessentially Texas Hill Country private golf experience - and notably the very first golf course design by Hall of Famer and Austin native Tom Kite, who teamed with Roy Bechtol to craft the layout in 1982. The par-71, 6,611-yard course threads through native cedar and live oak across dramatic limestone terrain, with significant elevation changes, narrow tree-framed corridors, and the club's signature stacked-limestone rock walls supporting many of the tees and greens. The result is a course defined by both stunning natural beauty and demanding precision - a "good views, fun layout, narrow" reputation that locals have known for decades. Panoramic views of the Hill Country and the river valley unfold throughout the round, and the clubhouse - high on a bluff above hole 18 - offers one of the most spectacular dining vistas in central Texas.

Just south of Old Town Alexandria, set on one of George Washington's five original Mount Vernon farms, Mount Vernon Country Club is one of the most quietly historic private golf experiences in the Washington, D.C. region. The 18-hole, par-71 layout (6,759 yards from the back tees) was crafted in two stages - the front nine designed by Russell Roberts opened in 1961 with an exhibition match featuring Sam Snead (who shot a 67 that day), and the back nine was added in 1968 by acclaimed mid-Atlantic architect Ed Ault. The course has been thoughtfully refined over the years by Bill Love and is defined by mature, tree-lined fairways, natural creeks and water features, and a series of artfully shaped sand-flowered green complexes characteristic of post-war American parkland design. Members and guests enjoy meticulously conditioned bent-grass surfaces, a friendly walkable routing, and a stately Georgian-revival clubhouse with terrace views down the course - a refined Virginia member-club experience steeped in genuine American history.

Enjoy a round at one of Fort Worth's premier private golf clubs. Ridglea Country Club is a storied west Fort Worth institution offering 36 holes of immaculately maintained Bermuda-grass golf across two distinct championship layouts. The historic North Course - originally laid out in 1928 by acclaimed Texas course designer John Bredemus, refined by Ralph Plummer in 1954, and redesigned by Jay Morrish in 1987 - is a traditional parkland test of narrow fairways and small, well-defended greens, where shot-making and short-game touch are paramount. The longer, brawnier South Course (Championship) was designed by Ralph Plummer in 1967 and renovated by Jay Morrish in 1988; it stretches over 7,100 yards through tall rough and demanding doglegs, with the Trinity River and Mary's Creek defending some of the most memorable holes in the metroplex. Both courses have hosted U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers, the Texas State Open qualifier, and National Big I tournaments - making this a rare opportunity to experience one of the DFW area's most established private clubs.

Tucked into the rolling Pennsylvania horse country about 45 miles west of Philadelphia, Stonewall is one of the most quietly celebrated private golf experiences in the mid-Atlantic - and the property where Tom Doak first announced himself to American golf. The Old Course (1993), built on a former Amish dairy farm with refurbished dry-stone barns serving as the clubhouse, is widely regarded as Doak's career-defining early masterpiece - a minimalist, walking-only, par-70 routing of 6,717 yards consistently ranked among Golf Digest's top 10 courses in Pennsylvania. The North Course (2003) is Doak's second design on the property, built by associates Brian Schneider, Brian Slawnik, Eric Iverson, and Kye Goalby. It's just as good as the Old - with more creative greens designed so that the "right miss" changes with the pin position - and is cart-accessible. The auction winner has the choice of either course as preferred: the Old is caddies-only (caddie fees paid by the winner), the North includes cart fees. Either way, the day is bookended with lunch before the round and cocktails after at the historic stone-barn clubhouse.

Golf Digest Rankings Old Course #7 Best in State, Pennsylvania (2025-'26); a perennial top-10 fixture in PA since the late 1990s. The North Course was named one of Golf Digest's Top 10 Best New Courses upon opening.

Tucked into the rolling terrain of North Dallas in Lewisville, The Lakes at Castle Hills is one of the region's most distinctive private golf experiences, with water in play on 17 of its 18 holes. Designed by Jay Morrish, the 7,361-yard championship layout was shaped to follow the property's natural topography rather than fight it, weaving across nearly 60 feet of elevation change through serene lakes, winding streams, and dramatic sweeping fairways. MiniVerde greens, lush 419 Bermuda turf, and brilliant Arkansas white crushed quartz bunkers give every hole a polished, postcard-worthy presentation. Precision is rewarded as much as power here, making it a memorable test for skilled players and an unforgettable round for any guest.

Founded in 1920 and tucked along the rolling, wooded banks of the Mississippi River, St. Cloud Country Club is one of central Minnesota's most storied private clubs and a true throwback to the golden age of American golf design. The original 18-hole layout was routed by Tom Vardon - head professional at White Bear Yacht Club and brother of six-time British Open champion Harry Vardon - who shaped a classic, tree-lined parkland course that uses the river and the property's natural elevation to subtle, strategic effect. Holes 3, 4, 10, 13 and 14 deliver the best river views, with the par-3 third in particular standing out: an elevated tee plays down to a large green framed by bunkers left and right and the Mississippi shimmering just beyond. The course rewards thoughtful sight lines over raw power, and decades of meticulous conditioning have earned it a reputation for some of the truest, best-presented greens in the state. A century of tradition, scenery, and quiet refinement makes this an experience any guest will remember.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Flatirons and the snow-capped Indian Peaks of Colorado's Front Range, Boulder Country Club is one of the most scenic private golf experiences in the Rocky Mountain region. Originally founded in 1920 and relocated to its current Gunbarrel home in 1963, the championship layout was designed by J. Press Maxwell - son of the legendary Perry Maxwell and a past president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects - with a recent thoughtful renovation by Kevin Atkinson completed in 2025. The course measures up to 7,110 yards and weaves quietly through mature trees, winding canals, and tranquil lakes, with softly undulating bentgrass greens that demand both precision and feel. A round here feels both old-school and current: classic Maxwell strategy, immaculate conditioning, and Colorado mountain panoramas at nearly every turn. It is the kind of private club experience that lingers long after the final putt.

Tucked into the canyon hills of southern Orange County, Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club is one of California's most sought-after private experiences and the only 36-hole private country club of its kind in the region. Both championship courses were designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. - son of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and one of golf's most prolific modern architects, with credits including Chambers Bay, Poppy Hills, and The Links at Spanish Bay. The North Course, opened in 1987 and stretching to 7,228 yards, is widely regarded as one of the finest tests in Orange County, opening with a signature 601-yard par 5 that plays over a barranca toward a narrow green framed by Mt. Trabuco. The shorter, tighter South Course (1995) winds quietly through the Coto canyon with each hole revealed in turn, rewarding precision and short-game finesse over raw distance. Mature oak woodlands, dramatic elevation changes, native vegetation, and meticulously conditioned bent-grass greens give every round a polished, secluded feel that members rarely share with guests.

Coto de Caza was named a National Winner of the Urban Land Institute's "Award for Excellence" and is an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary.

A true Golden Age treasure tucked quietly into the hills south of Tulsa, Oaks Country Club is one of only two courses in Oklahoma to carry the design imprimatur of legendary architect A.W. Tillinghast, who laid out the original 18 in the 1920s with his signature philosophy that nature must precede the architect. Perry Maxwell - the "father of Oklahoma golf" - later refined several holes and greens in the 1930s, and in 2015 architect Bill Bergin completed a celebrated restoration that brought the original Tillinghast character back to life, earning recognition among Golf Digest's Best New Remodels. The result is a course rich with old-school charm: fairways framed by towering oaks, small sloping greens, and simple, strategic bunkering scaled perfectly to the rolling terrain. Often described as Tulsa's hidden gem, Oaks rewards thoughtful shot-making and quietly outshines far better-known names in the region.

Rising from the rugged sandhills near Roggen on Colorado's high plains, Rodeo Dunes is the newest addition to the Keiser family's celebrated Dream Golf collection, the visionaries behind Bandon Dunes and Sand Valley. Designed by the legendary team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the flagship course is carved directly through windswept dunes that climb as high as ninety feet, lending the layout the raw, untamed character of a great Irish links. Expect more blind shots than on any other Coore and Crenshaw design, with hidden landing zones, sweeping native brush, and greens dramatically framed by serpentine bunkering, all set against long views toward the Rocky Mountains. Spread across more than 4,000 acres of sand just under an hour from downtown Denver, this walking-only course delivers a pure, immersive experience that early previewers are already calling one of the finest new courses in America. To play here during its exclusive founders preview season is to walk ground destined to become one of the game's next great destinations.

Tucked between Geneva Lake and Twin Lakes near the Bloomfield Wildlife area, Goldeneye Club is an invitation-only sanctuary spread across 120 secluded acres just minutes from downtown Lake Geneva. The intimate 18-hole layout designed by Dan McClean and Mike Lasch routes around a large reservoir and a string of smaller ponds, with thoughtful bunkering, generous fairways, and a par-71 cadence that rewards strategy over brute strength. Managed by KemperSports - the team behind Streamsong and Chambers Bay - the club delivers a quiet, members-only atmosphere where there are no tee times and the clubhouse feels like an extension of a private estate. A round here is less a tee time than a rare invitation into one of the Midwest's most discreet golf retreats.
