A random golf course generator draws a layout from a fixed list of famous courses. This one uses 166 names. You choose a region or the major-host list, ask for up to 100 courses, and get a numbered list. Turn duplicates off and each course appears once.
The card shows the course and the country. A clipboard line looks like "1. Augusta National Golf Club — United States". The tool does not assign a tee time, a green fee, or a winner.
The default is three courses from the full list, with repeats allowed. The United States pool has 74 courses, the UK and Ireland pool has 36, and the rest of the world has 56. Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links are in Nova Scotia, so they sit in the worldwide pool.
Three steps from a region to a name you can paste.
Leave the list on every course, or limit it to the United States, the UK and Ireland, the rest of the world, or major championship hosts.
The box starts at 3 courses. Duplicates are allowed up to 100. Turn them off to draw each course once.
Generate a course, then copy the numbered line. The country is on the card and in the clipboard text.
The Masters stays at Augusta National every year. In 2026 the other three men's majors moved: the PGA Championship to Aronimink, the U.S. Open to Shinnecock Hills, and the 154th Open to Royal Birkdale. The R&A's site records Ryan Fox as the champion golfer at that Open.
Women's majors used five courses. Memorial Park in Houston hosted the Chevron Championship. Riviera hosted the U.S. Women's Open, its first USGA women's championship. Hazeltine hosted the Women's PGA Championship. Royal Lytham & St Annes hosted the AIG Women's Open. The Evian Championship is played at Evian Resort Golf Club.

The Open's venue list names 14courses, all of them links. The modern rotation uses ten: St Andrews, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Royal Troon, Turnberry, Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham & St Annes, Royal St George's, and Royal Portrush. Prestwick, Musselburgh, Prince's, and Royal Cinque Ports are the historic venues.

The major-host filter is the courses in this library that have hosted a men's or women's major, including historic Open venues and early U.S. Open venues. It is a curated set, so it leaves out some championship sites that are not in the library.
Team events stay in the regional lists unless the course has also hosted a major. Bethpage Black has hosted both the Ryder Cup and men's majors, so it is in the major-host filter. Adare Manor, which hosts the 2027 Ryder Cup, is in the Ireland list. Le Golf National and Kasumigaseki, Olympic golf venues, are in the worldwide list. TPC Sawgrass, home of the Players Championship, is in the United States list.
