I yearn for the days of my youth when I me and my best mates would wake up at dawn to play one of the three golf courses on our season pass. It was a joyous time, albeit frustrating because of weak golf game, but nonetheless I still really enjoyed walking the fresh cut fairways on a summer's day.
Even though I don't get to play much anymore, I still really enjoy the game and appreciate the skill and art that goes into creating a world renowned golf course. These three golf courses below are some of the coolest America has to offer and should be on your list courses to visit during your golf holiday.
Torrey Pines Golf Course: North Course
The 18 hole regulation course at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, is one of the United States premiere golf course. The course, which was built in 1957, is ranked #8 in California.
The beauty of Torrey Pines, in addition to its epic views and challenging greens, is that the golf course also has a South Course too, which is just as equally as impressive as the North Course and brings Torrey Pines to 72 holes.
The Details:

TPC of Myrtle Beach Golf Course
When is the last time you felt like a Pro? I know its been a while for me too, but now, even in the dead of winter, you can feel like your on the PGA Tour at TPC of Myrtle Beach Golf Course.
The course is designed by Tom Fazio and has hosted the Senior Tour Championship among other PGA tour events. With top-notch fairways and greens, you be testing your skills on one of the best courses in the United States.

Augusta National Golf Club
Opening in 1933, Augusta is the cream of the crop when it comes to must-see and, if you are lucky, must-play golf courses in America. Each year the best of the best from the PGA Tour descend on Augusta, Georgia, to shoot it out at The Masters.
Unfortunately, the real challenge of Augusta is just being allowed to play on it. The course is closed to the public and only members and PGA Tour players who are invited for The Masters have the right to play here. Though, there are some loop holes like caddy days and employee days, so if you are up for a challenge, you may just want to give Augusta a try.
The Details:
18 hole regulation length course
72 par, 7,270 yards
74.0 rating, 135 slope
