The scenic, but unforgiving, Prince Course.

For the first time, Golf Digest has produced The Second 100 Greatest, a ranking of courses from 101 to 200, using the same seven criteria and minimum 45 ballots required for eligibility among America's 100 Greatest. Some courses on the Best in State rankings have higher scores than some on America's Second 100 Greatest, but they do not appear on this list because they did not have the minimum 45 evaluations. Best in State courses require 10 ballots. (Rank among 2011's 100 Greatest listed in parentheses.)
