Welcome to the Official Site of the North Carolina Golf Panel!

Founded in 1995, the North Carolina Golf Panel ranks the state’s best courses in what we believe is the best state for golf in the country. Our annual rankings of the top 100 courses in the state are published each April in the award-winning Business North Carolina magazine and also within the pages of this site and in numerous other media outlets statewide. Like any rankings, ours is not an exact science; our hope simply is that they can be appreciated by a broad spectrum of golfers.
