CALIFORNIA'S TOP 20 COURSES^
^
Normally a poll such as this is subjective. However, in 1986, Mark
Soltau instituted a yearly feature in the San Francisco Examiner called
"The Top 20 Golf Courses in Northern California."^
^
A 45-member panel of golfing experts and enthusiasts contributes to
the selection process. Participants have included professional golfers
George Archer, Dan Forsman, Roger Maltbie, Johnny Miller, Nathaniel
Crosby and Julie Inkster; golf course architects Robert Trent Jones,
Jr. and Ronald Fream; former United States Golf Association
president Frank "Sandy" Tatum and current USGA president Grant
Spaeth.^
^
With help from several Southern California colleagues, including Fred
Robledo of the Los Angeles Times and T.R. Reinman of the San
Diego Tribune, here are the state's top 20 courses:^
