With PGA Tour heading to a municipal golf course this week in Memorial Park for the Houston Open, it marks one of the cool times you can play the same shots the pros play.
But, it’s really not that rare of an occurrence.
While the 2002 U.S. Open was celebrated as “the People’s U.S. Open” for being played at a municipal golf course, Bethpage Black, for the first time, the PGA Tour has actually been playing at munis and public access courses for decades.
Last week’s Valspar Championship host, Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead course, is public. So too is TPC Sawgrass, home of the Players Championship, although it may cost a pretty penny. With a stay at the famous Bay Hill Lodge, you can also secure a tee time at host of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Even two of this year’s major championship hosts are open to the public.
In fact, of the 39 events on the PGA Tour this season, 20 of them will be contested on 23 different golf courses that you can play.
But playing PGA Tour tracks doesn’t come cheap with greens fees at some courses surpassing $500 while many of the resorts require you to stay on the property.
Keep reading below for a list of all the PGA Tour’s public access courses for the 2024 season, ranked by greens fee.
