America's 50 Toughest Golf Courses
We've identified the most diabolical venues in the U.S.-- the ones that torture and taunt us but keep us asking for more. How would you fare against these monsters?

Pete Dye's Ocean Course tops our eclectic new ranking of America's 50 Toughest Golf Courses. Opened in 1991 before the Ryder Cup—and dubbed Looney Dunes for the mishaps there—the Ocean Course has the highest combination of Slope Rating (155) and Course Rating (79.6) in America.
