The 50 oldest golf courses in America by recorded founding year, from Edgewood Club of Tivoli in Tivoli in 1884 to 1895. They are drawn from the 7,479 American courses with a recorded founding year — 60% of the 12,541 listed here; the median founding year across that group is 1967. The rest carry no recorded year, so an older course may not appear on this list.
