With more than 650 public courses alone, GolfDigest has ranked Michigan as the second-best state for public golf in the U.S.
However, the state also has some of the best private courses in the U.S.
Hundreds of members from the course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them on 10 criteria. The criteria are: Routing, integrity of design (classic courses) or quality of shaping (modern courses), overall land plan, greens and surrounds, variety & memorability of par 3s, variety & variety & memorability of par 4s, variety & memorability of par 5s, tree and landscape management, condition and ecology and "walk in the park" test.
