The five best courses you can play on the LPGA Tour

The longtime home of the JTBC Classic, Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, Calif., is one of the most picturesque venues on the LPGA Tour. With colorful, blooming flowers lining the rolling hills, it comes as no surprise that the venue, which is a part of the Park Hyatt Aviara resort, has been named the No. 1 golf resort in Southern California by Conde Nast Traveler and has been named one of the best resort courses by multiple publications. The only Arnold Palmer design features a par 72 layout that plays more than 7,000 yards with numerous bunkers, water hazards, and wildflowers throughout. The course is located just 20 minutes from Torrey Pines South, which has hosted the U.S. Open. Greens fees vary throughout the year but golfers can expect to pay around $200 to play. GolfPass also offers a golf package for a stay and play.

In a throwback to the golf clubs of yesteryear, The Golf Clubs at the Tribute in The Colony, Texas, have all the feels of a course built in the Golden Age of architecture of the 1920s and 30s. The Tripp Davis and Justin Leonard design at Old American Golf Club incorporates naturally formed bunkers, native grasses and water hazards throughout that make golfers feel as though they’ve been transported to a Scottish links. Wind is one of the course’s biggest defenses and lends itself to the links-style feel of this Texas venue. The course, which hosts the Ascendant LPGA, is a par 71 and can play anywhere from 5,100 yards to more than 7,000 yards, depending on which of the five teeing grounds a player chooses to use.
