Fun test. Got lucky with a couple.

This should be an entry test to GCA.  -18 as well, even if I had to guess on one Florida course thru process of elimination.

A mere 17. Got tripped up on a Florida tour stop.

I can't believe that they got permission to build a golf course at the Old Head site.

This should be an entry test to GCA.


What would be the required score?  And why?

It wasn't easy and the local population is still upset about the course.

There were two I wasn’t sure about and I guessed them both wrong.


16 out of the 18 courses are in the States. I’d like to see how some of you do with 18 non-US courses.

What about 180 Ally?


@GolfBible has been running a quiz on Twitter.  It’s up to 180 courses, the vast majority GB&I.  Not sure if he’s finished now or whether there might be more to come but all the previous ones are still there.


It’s a tough school. If you take more than 10 seconds to figure it out and reply with the correct answer, you’re too slow.

If you are on a mobile device an aerial of the entire course pops up which is a bit of a giveaway.  They may need to work on their photo cropping.
Ask not what GolfClubAtlas can do for you; ask what you can do for GolfClubAtlas.

Yes, and a single digit handicap should be required too!
