Being that I have only played 52 courses, and am still relatively new to the sport, I think it is interesting how many courses I have played that are the highest rated in their state. And while I haven't bagged a ton of courses, I have a good view of what each of these states has the best to offer:
Ohio - Deis Hill
Texas - Selah Ranch (and Shawshank, Lindsey Gold)
Missouri - Waterworks
Illinois - Foundation Park
Indiana - Seviren Lang
Kentucky - Idlewild (and Lincoln Ridge)
Pennsylvania - Deer Lakes and Moraine, 2 and 3 rated courses
West Virginia - Orange Crush and Seth Burton, 3 and 4 rated courses
