Golf course construction is booming. A lot of that is happening in the private club model, but there are new public courses opening at high-end resorts both at home and abroad. There’s a ton to be excited about, so we’ve rounded up the most interesting new courses to check out in 2025. Some might require you to call in a favor, but the thrill of the chase can be part of the fun.

Broomsedge, 35 minutes east of Columbia, South Carolina, is golf’s feel-good story. Mike Koprowski, who co-designed the course with Kyle Franz, was convinced that it was the perfect ground for golf and bought the land with his own money. The course seeks to take a prime place in a rapidly growing golf region in the Sandhills of South Carolina and to take advantage of the Masters halo effect each April. Though private, the course will offer public play at special times of the year via a request portal. The course features firm and fast conditions on a compact routing of 200 acres with multiple strategies for players of all skill levels. Opens in February 2025.
