The Golf Digest

Summary: Golf Digest is perhaps better known for its rankings of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" that featured the best golf course to be found worldwide.

As far as golf magazine in circulation goes, Golf Digest remains the most widely read monthly golf magazine. Made available in print by an American media company Advance Publications, this monthly digest concerns itself on golf topics in general flavor.

Golf Digest is perhaps better known for its rankings of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" that featured the best golf course to be found worldwide. It was a colossal idea, as one researcher stated, since it promotes those major sponsorships and arrangements at the same time made Golf Digest readily feasible to the reading public if only the information for the best golf course was the collective interest.

So successful was it that ultimately, Golf Digest's biennial rankings are regarded as an actual basis rate as far as every golf course go since its inception at 1985.

The most successful qualifier is the Pine Valley Golf Club, who topped the list every time except on the 2001 ranking.

Golf Digest also produces lists of the best new courses, the best golf resorts, and the best golf course in each state.
