How we ranked them
Each 18-hole course is ranked by the total yardage of its longest set of tees, added up hole by hole from its own scorecard. Courses of three or more named nines aren't ranked, since their length depends on which two nines you play.
The list covers courses with a free maps.golf guide whose scorecard we’ve published, and it updates on its own as new guides go live. Numbers are as printed on each course’s card; courses re-rate and re-tee, so check the course’s own scorecard before you play. Running one of these courses and see a wrong number? Tell us.
