2010 Golf World Readers' Choice Awards: Top 50 Public Courses - #4 Tobacco Road. Tobacco Road also ranked in the Top 10 in the following criteria:
Rated 10th in toughest courses to play in USA Golf Digest rated it # 82 Top 100 Public Golf Courses in USA & gave it 4.5 Stars. This course is not a typical links-style, but it leans more to a links feel than a traditional style course. The fairways are generous, some as wide as ninety-nine yards, and the greens are also ample. The quote "Its bark is more intimidating than its bite" aptly describes this course that contains some blind and restricted tee shots. A staff consensus is that the course does not have a signature hole; rather it is in essence a "signature golf course." Mike Strantz's design here is exhilarating, infuriating and bewildering -- but never dull. This immensely entertaining test of patience and self-belief might just be the most underrated course in America. If you prefer A-to-Z target golf, this isn’t for you, with blind shots and greens with more bumps and false fronts than a Hollywood starlet. If you relish courses that area head-scratching joy to play, you won't find anything better. Visit their website for more details. See a video presentation.
