The spiritual home of New York is not a church, a mosque, a synagogue or a temple. It is not a place of worship — at least not the Biblical kind. It is a bar, cozy, loud, and outdated, with creaky wooden floorboards and scuffed pool tables. A hole in the side of 29th Street with friendly bartenders, well-worn wooden chairs, and old-fashioned, floor-to-shoulder urinals. A place where the music is usually a few decibels too loud, the bar tab is usually a few bucks too light, and the constant churn of the city melts into a dull hum. This is not any bar — it’s Paddy Reilly’s, where the music is live and the vibes are good and the Guinness is cold, seven nights a week.

Golfers certainly do. But with the game in higher demand than ever (hurrah!) and inflation persisting, good values have become increasingly harder to find. That in mind, GOLF’s course raters and editors set out to compile a list of 18-hole golf courses in the United States that represent exceptional bang for the buck. Our criteria were simple: To qualify for our list, courses needed to be (1) accessible to the public, (2) the kind of golf experience you’d recommend to a friend and (3) offer peak-season weekend walking rates that do not exceed $100.
