Every second summer, SCOREGolf compiles a listing of the Top 59 public golf courses in Canada, as decided by a panel of knowledgeable volunteers from across the country. It complements our biennial Top 100 ranking, which includes public and private courses, most recently released last year.
If you're asking — or have forgotten — why we rank just 59 public venues, it's because 59 is considered a magical number in golf, a score carded on the PGA Tour 13 times (the latest being Jake Knapp at this year's Cognizant Classic) and on the LPGA Tour once, that being Annika Sorenstam in 2001. Yes, Jim Furyk shot 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship and Cristobal Del Solar went one shot lower than that on the Korn Ferry Tour last year. But we're not shrinking the list any farther. Who knows how much lower these pros are going to go?
