Best major cities to be a golfer? Hoping to move to the US soon for an MBA and stay there after. I am in Toronto and think it’s among the worst: Can’t play from November to March. Munis are overpriced for what they are, max out at 6000 yards, also impossible to get a tee time. Better public courses in the GTA a hassle to get to with traffic, and expensive relative to the rest of Ontario. Private clubs are super expensive. Public ranges are terrible yet still overcrowded.

Chicago if you live in the suburbs. Usually considered to have the best collection of publics and privates in the country out of major urban areas.

Most courses in the South and West of the country were designed for riding, which is a complete no go for me.

like

Chicago is above average in the volume of public courses. Value can be found in the park district and forest preserve courses, but the upkeep of the course can vary significantly. It can be a pain to get to many of the nicer public courses in the burbs when you factor in traffic; even then, some of those are pricey for what they are. It’s still a relatively short golf season between April and October/November; hope you don’t mind a few rounds in the low 40’s.

The state of Florida. SC is probably slept on as well

like

The higher end courses in Florida are amazing but very expensive. The vast majority of courses are flat and work themselves around housing developments. Nicely maintained, sure, but for me they don’t provide that day away from it all when every hole is lined with people’s back yard.

Literally anywhere in the country outside the very northern states. But the southeast has great golf

Philadelphia is a great golf town but you do need to join a private club to get the best experience. A ton of very nice private clubs in a 20 mile radius of Center City Philadelphia. On the negative side public golf is only average in the area.

Birmingham, AL is an incredible golf community. Tons of great public options and a bunch of elite private courses that you can get on.

State also has the Robert Trent Jones trail. That a look at it online.

If you can get into a country club, Atlanta is awesome.

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

Which would you choose?

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?
