I am hoping TST can help me out!

I am looking to find out what courses a number of PGA Tour members call home. If you know how I can most easily find this info, or if you know where any of them are members, please post in here!

Thanks a bunch.

I dunno if it's necessarily their "home course" but Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood, Raymond Floyd, Louis Oousty are based out of Old Palm CC in Palm Beach Gardens.

Rickie Fowler, Tiger, Dustin Johnson, and Keegan Bradley are at Medalist in Jupiter.

Ernies Els is Bears Club. I think Luke Donald and Rory are there too.

Obviously there are a lot of PGA Tour Pros who live in Palm Beach County.

Not sure about Orlando at this point, but Bubba Watson lives at Tiger's old house at Isleworth.

Poulter, McDowell, and Justin Rose are Lake Nona.

These guys are obviously all over the place though. Not 100% these are their "home courses," so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaking of home clubs, up to sometime in the 1960s, a touring pro would always be introduced as Joe Golfer, playing out of the [name of golf club] in [city, state].

Does anybody know what that was all about? A holdover from the days when touring pros were club pros in the off season? Do you know when that practice stopped?

While that's a related question, it's probably slightly OT for this thread.

One of my college buddies lives in Jupiter. I went down there to visit him a few weeks ago and played three rounds of golf.  If you've ever been there, you'll understand why--there is a championship golf course in pristine condition per ever square mile of land in that area.  North Palm, West Palm, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter--they could all be the best golf town in any state in the US.

Sorry SoCal folks--y'all have the weather, but you can't touch the number and quality of courses in that area.

Don't want to get off topic or bash Florida by any means because it's obviously a great place to be if you're a golfer but the lack of topography in my opinion in that state (i.e. it's the flattest state in the union) makes it hard for there to be truly great courses there. You can have fun/good courses that are in fantastic shape, but IMHO, a great course needs some contours and natural topography that Florida isn't able to offer. There's a reason none of the US Open, PGA, Ryder Cup, etc. courses are in Florida.

Derek Ernst is a member at Belmont CC in Fresno, Ca. (Probably not quite the level of tour pro you were after, but it's all I got ;))

Yes, that reason is called summer.  They don't play US Opens or PGA Championships in Florida or Texas because they are held in June and August respectively.  The USGA chooses traditional courses in NY, PA, MI, which were operational before air conditioning and development came to FL.


Plus, there's this event called the Players Championship which takes place in FL each year and it is considered the 5th major.  In addition to the WGC event at Doral and the other tour events.

They have played US Opens in Texas several times (Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston) and most of those were before everybody had air conditioning.

They also played the US Open in St. Louis and that's the hottest place in the world in the summer. (Hyperbole but not much). ;-)

My wife's family lives near Tulsa, that can be a furnace as well, and they've played the US Open there.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
