The Ryder Cup is a tournament which evokes passion like no other, golfers from across Europe and America all want to be there. For us fans, every two years we get to experience magical moments and watch these elite players create memories which last a lifetime.
Marco Simone Golf Club. Another one for the future; Marco Simone will host the first Ryder Cup in Italy when it comes around in 2023. The beautiful venue is immaculately maintained and is set between simply stunning lakes in central Italy.
Royal Birkdale Golf Club. The pedigree of Royal Birkdale Golf Club is beyond doubt, having hosted The Open 9 times, the Ryder Cup twice and a multitude of other championships including the Walker Cup and Women's British Open.
Arnold Palmer succeeded in working with the existing mature trees and water features to create a magnificent test for golfers of all standards.
Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. Having been catapulted onto the golfing scene following the 1991 Ryder Cup dubbed the ‘War on the Shore’, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island has gone onto host all four of the PGA of America’s major tournaments and is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated courses in America.
Having hosted the 2002 and 2009 US Open - the Bethpage Black Course is no stranger to big tournaments. In 2025, major competition returns to this glorious New York golf course as the best players from Europe and America will compete for the coveted Ryder Cup.
At the second ever Ryder Cup hosted in Scotland, Paul McGinley led Europe to yet another victory at Gleneagles. It was contested on the incredible PGA Centenary course which is widely considered as one of Jack Nicklaus’ best designs.
A gentle dogleg left starts the journey out to Lake Michigan where the true meaning of links golf starts to shine.
The shortest of the two par 5s on the front nine, be aware of a pot bunker placed 35 yards short of the long-stretched green.
Visually intimidating off the tee, the most difficult par 4 on the golf course is protected by length, undulations and, of course, pot bunkers.
The longer of the two par 5s on the front nine, this winding fairway demands accuracy from tee to green.
Down the path to the shoreline, the picturesque par 3 creates a dramatic approach to the green.
With over 100 bunkers, intimidating to say the least, the green drops off the back into a deadly pot bunker.
Do not be fooled by the funnel effect to the small green. Soak up the beautiful scenery back to the clubhouse before returning to the lake on No. 10.
All three formats used in the Ryder Cup -- four-ball, foursome and one-on-one -- will be scored using the match play system.
he 2021 Ryder Cup will feature two teams, 24 golfers and three different competition formats.T
The 2020 Ryder Cup was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Future Ryder Cup events are scheduled to take place in odd-numbered years. The Ryder Cup was moved to even-numbered years following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The morning set of matches on Friday and Saturday will use the foursome format.
The final round of competition is played in a single, match-play format. There will be 12 singles matches with each golfer facing a member of the opposing team one-on-one. The winning golfer secures his team a point. Once again, a draw earns each team half a point.
The afternoon set of matches on Friday and Saturday will use the four-ball format.
While stroke play scores the total number of strokes throughout a tournament, match play scores each hole. Whichever golfer or team gets the lower score on a given hole tallies a point. If the two sides get the same score, the hole is “halved,” giving each side half a point.
Half of the current layout was a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design known as Wentwood Hills. The European Tour decided it wanted to take the Ryder Cup to Wales, but didn’t want spectators and players dealing with nine of the hillier holes, so its in-house design team created nine new holes, 1 through 5, 14 and 16 through 18. The RTJ Jr. holes that remain are 6 through 13 and No. 15. American parkland in style, this brawny, lake-studded track in the handsome Usk Valley offers risk/reward opportunities throughout, but too many of the holes look like they were airlifted from Florida.
For now, we’ve ranked every past Ryder Cup course, grouping them in no particular order, into three categories — Birdie, Par or Bogey — based on design merit, character and tournament pedigree.
Only barely rising to Par because it played host to Ben Hogan’s first major win at the 1946 PGA Championship, Portland gained the Ryder Cup because benefactor Robert Hudson was a member there and also a member of the PGA of America’s Advisory Board. Money and supplies were still tight after World War II and he agreed to foot the bill for both teams, provided the match was played at Portland. The design was unmemorable, albeit with splendid arboreal framing, but the course was a sodden mess due to summer-long rains, plus a full inch the night before the event began.
The “War by the Shore” took place over a brand new Pete Dye course that played so tough, Ryder Cuppers Raymond Floyd and Nick Faldo wondered aloud that had it been stroke play, they might not break 80 — or even finish the round. Currently ranked 24th in the U.S. by Golf Digest, the seaside Ocean Course may not play like a textbook links, thanks to its sticky paspalum grass, but it dished out a thrilling match-play test that windy week, when Bernhard Langer’s missed 6-footer returned the Cup to the U.S. The course’s harder edges have been softened twice since then, but it has still produced two outstanding PGA Championship winners — Rory McIlroy in 2012 and Phil Mickelson in 2021.
Jack Nicklaus’ homage to Augusta National currently ranks 15th in the United States by Golf Digest and has been a favorite of PGA Tour players since the Memorial Tournament started in 1976 . Beautiful, fair and balanced, if devoid of any quirk, it presents compelling drama via risk/reward par-5s and a terrific short par 4 at the 14th, while also being a strong test from start to finish.
Nowhere does the design genius of Donald Ross burn more brightly than on his No. 2 course at Pinehurst. Host venue to three U.S. Opens, with many more on the way, plus a PGA Championship, and dozens of PGA Tour events, No. 2 rolls gently and spaciously through tall Longleaf pines. Holes culminate in “inverted saucer” greens that have confounded the game’s best since they were first grassed in 1935. A 2011 Coore-Crenshaw restoration brought back the tawny-edged fairways, native roughs and shot values last seen around the time of the 1951 Ryder Cup.
This suburban London layout has been considered England’s premier inland championship course practically since H.S. Colt designed it in 1926 . A Hall of Fame cast has competed and won here. Yet, its appeal was always tied more to its relentless challenge than it was for its charm or memorable holes. Its ranking has plummeted, both before and after two Ernie Els makeovers.
Since the first edition of the Ryder Cup in 1927, we have seen a variation of different courses the event has been played on.
Lastly, in 2027, we head to yet another Tom Fazio redesigned course in Adare Manor, which underwent a 24-month course reconstruction to set itself up for a Ryder Cup event.
The next venue in 2025 is Bethpage Black, a venue which has hosted multiple Major championships, seen hundreds of thousands of American fans filter through its entrances and, once again, is not far from the centre of New York.

It was the same for Matt Fitzpatrick, who had to walk to the course after traffic around the town caused chaos for the players in the event.
