The late Bob Cupp's self-described “consummate achievement” — 550 acres of Cherokee County elevation and towering pines that draw frequent Augusta comparisons. The drivable par-4 15th, with a waterfall down the right of the green, is the card-wrecker. This is its ninth Final Qualifying selection.

The lone Canadian venue, along the Humber River on Toronto's west side. Tom Bendelow routed it in 1903; Tillinghast, Colt, Ross, Stanley Thompson and finally Rees Jones (2012 restoration) all left fingerprints. Four-time Canadian Open host.

Designed by Ed Sneed — yes, the PGA Tour pro who came a stroke from the 1979 Masters. North of Columbus, it rates 74.1 / 134 with water in play across multiple holes. An OGA Final Qualifying staple for nearly two decades.

An Alfred Tull original (1950) with all 18 greens rebuilt by Arthur Hills in 1999, and every bunker rebuilt — plus a brand-new 18th — by Joel Weiman in 2018–2020. Final Qualifying host since 1987. The new 18th is a do-or-die finisher.

Opened in 1964 as PGA National's Champions Course; Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA here, then returned five decades later to renovate it (unveiled January 2023) at a beefy 7,474 yards. One of the longest layouts in the field, with water on roughly half the holes.

Unique on the schedule: two clubs hosting jointly. Players see a Harry Colt & Charles Alison classic (Century, 1926) and a Jack Nicklaus modern (Golf Club of Purchase, 1996) across the 36 holes — arguably the most architecturally diverse single site in the field.

A hidden Donald Ross school: Ellis Maples worked under Ross before his 1958 original here, and Kris Spence's 2003 restoration brought back the Golden Age bones. Three reachable par 5s offer eagles for the bold.

Sacramento's oldest club (1916), with enhancements by Herbert Fowler — the same Fowler who built Walton Heath — around 1922, and a celebrated 2006 Kyle Phillips reimagining. Deep USGA pedigree: host of the 2015 U.S. Senior Open and five earlier USGA championships.

One of the most original, largely unaltered Donald Ross designs in the country — and one of the shortest tracks in the field. Don't let 6,684 yards fool you: the Ross greens and Clark County elevation make par a genuine test. Final Qualifying host since 2008.

On the Coast Fork of the Willamette, with a clubhouse converted from the original dairy barn and a Dan Hixson refinement (2002). As the westernmost site, it's the last to start and the last to finish — the venue from which “Golf's Longest Day” earns its literal name.
