Hazeltine Natl
The private Hazeltine National Golf Club sits alongside Hazeltine Lake near Chaska in the "Twin Cities" metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St Paul. Here you'll find a much revered layout, created with the aim of being one of the USA's top-flight tournament courses.
Hazeltine's roll of honour is indeed impressive. It is one of only a few clubs in the USA to have hosted every premier championship staged by the USGA and PGA of America. The 2016 Ryder Cup (with another to follow in 2029) further underlines Hazeltine's lustre.
This excellent tree-lined and open parkland layout stretches across rolling hills, mature woods, picturesque lakes and open "prairies" to provide a thoroughly memorable golfing environment. Two directly lakeshore holes, plenty of rolling elevation changes and a plethora of stylish bunkering ensure the course is always pleasing on the eye and a great test for your shot-making.
Originally designed by the great Robert Trent Jones Snr, the course was modified and renovated by his son Rees Jones in readiness for the 1991 U.S. Open. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club - guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Excellent
Hazeltine National is one of the top tournament courses in the United States, having hosted the US Open, US PGA Championship, US Women's Open, US Senior Open and US Amateur Championship, and many other top level events. In 2016 it hosted the Ryder Cup, and will do so again in 2029.
The roll call of championship winners here includes Billy Casper, Payne Stewart, Tony Jacklin and Y.E. Yang (who in 2009 won a "toe-to-toe" duel with 54-hole leader Tiger Woods. Yang became the first Asian winner of a men's major championship). For more details see Top Golf Tournaments at Hazeltine National Golf Club.

Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
