You are not imagining things, the game of golf gets longer every year. Especially on the PGA Tour where the longest hitters in the game of golf average 303.3 yards off the tee and the longest hitter averaged 324.8 yards\/drive last season.<\/p>\n

Distance off the tee is just one component of the game but with that in mind, today we are looking at the longest PGA Tour golf courses for the 2026 PGA Tour<\/a> season. Interestingly, the #3 longest PGA Tour golf course won\u2019t host an event this year. Just minutes ago the PGA Tour announced the Sentry will not be played this year (at Kapalua) and thus the Sony will be the first event of th season.<\/p>\n

15 Longest PGA Tour Golf Courses<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t take long before the PGA Tour stops at the longest course on tour this season. The PGA Tour\u2019s Farmers Insurance Open is held at Torry Pines on the North and South Course and it is the South Course at 7,765 yards which lays claim to being the longest of all PGA Tour golf<\/a> courses. But let\u2019s check out the top 15!<\/p>\n

15. Detroit Golf Club \u2013 Rocket Mortgage Classic<\/p>\n

Coming in at #15 on the PGA Tour\u2019s longest golf courses is Detroit Golf Club which plays at 7,370 yards for the Rocket Classic. That will be held from Jul 30 \u2013 August 2 and the reigning champion is Aldrich Potgieter from South Africa in a 3-way playoff.<\/p>\n

From the regular tees, Detroit Golf Club plays 7013 yards which is still long but certainly manageable. Those extra ~300 yards for the pros really add up though with the 17th hole, a par-5, playing the longest.<\/p>\n

14. Memorial Park Golf Course \u2013 Texas Children\u2019s Houston Open<\/p>\n

At #14 is the Memorial Park Golf Course which is listed at both 7,412 yards and 7,475 yards so we\u2019ll go with the shorter measurement here just to be safe\u2026<\/p>\n

Min Woo Lee is the reigning champ at that tournament, his only career PGA Tour win. He ranked 16th on tour last season in driving distance at 313.8 yards\/drive on average.<\/p>\n

13. TPC Craig Ranch \u2013 CJ Cup Byron Nelson<\/p>\n

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch brings in the heavy hitters. Scottie Scheffler is the reigning champion of that tournament and it ranks 13th among the longest PGA Tour golf courses at 7,414 yards, just two yards longer than the one above.<\/p>\n

In that video above, you can see how the course sets up for the PGA Tour tournament. Scottie is obviously one of the longer hitters on tour but he also never gives away strokes around the green. Craig Ranch isn\u2019t all about bombing the ball.<\/p>\n

12. TPC Twin Cities \u2013 3M Open<\/p>\n

This course was designed by Arnold Palmer and it\u2019s a relatively new course, in the grand scheme of things, having been built in 1999. It measures 7,431 yards on tour and is the 12th longest of the PGA Tour golf courses on the 2026 TOUR schedule.<\/p>\n

11. TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) \u2013 Valero Texas Open<\/p>\n

The third TPC course on the list is TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) which hosts the Valero Texas Open and plays at 7,438 yard for the PGA Tour players. This course was designed by Greg Norman and Sergio Garcia and it has a slope rating of 76.6 with Perennial Rye\/Chewing Fescue grass out there to challenge plaeyrs.<\/p>\n

10. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club \u2013 U.S. Open<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s U.S. Open will be held at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club which ranks at #6 on the Most Exclusive Golf Courses in America<\/a> list published here at BroBible. Shinnecock will clock in at 7,440 yards for the U.S. Open and the rough will be brutal. It will be a pure test of everyone\u2019s skills and there will be carnage. We cannot wait.<\/p>\n

9. TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course) \u2013 RBC Canadian Open<\/p>\n

Host of the RBC Canadian Open, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course) is the fourth (and final) TPC course on the list and it plays at 7,445 yards making it the 9th longest PGA Tour course on the 2026 schedule.<\/p>\n

This course is has par-5\u2019s as bookends, starting with a long par-5 on the 1st tee and ending with another of the four par-5s on 18. It makes for a very fun test of distance but also risk\/reward comes into play on 18 for any players looking to make a jump up the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

8. Dunes Golf & Beach Club \u2013 Myrtle Beach Classic<\/p>\n

At 7,450 yards, Myrtle Beach\u2019s Dunes Golf & Beach Club is the 8th longest PGA Tour golf course on the 2026 schedule. This course is the annual host of the Myrtle Beach Classic and arguably the nicest golf course in Myrtle Beach depending on who you are talking to. It is definitely worth playing for anyone in that area if you can finagle a tee time.<\/p>\n

7. Bay Hill Club and Lodge \u2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational<\/p>\n

One of the best known courses on the PGA Tour schedule is the Bay Hill Club and Lodge, home of the annual Arnold Palmer Invitational. I daresay this course has some of the best tees of any course in the annual roation if not the best.<\/p>\n

At 7,466 yards, Bay Hill in Orlando is the 7th longest PGA Tour Golf Course on the schedule this year.<\/p>\n

6. East Lake Golf Club \u2013 TOUR Championship<\/p>\n

Another fixture on the PGA Tour\u2019s schedule is the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta which is home to the TOUR Championship. I feel like this course gets a little overlooked because of the odd formats they have used in the past but it was at the center of the golf world this year when Tommy Fleetwood secured his first-ever PGA Tour victory there.<\/p>\n

East Lake GC measures 7,490 yards for the pros making it the sixth-longest PGA Tour golf course in rotation, even if the field is limited.<\/p>\n

5. Grand Reserve Country Club \u2013 Puerto Rico Open<\/p>\n

At #5 on this list is the Grand Reserve Country Club in Puerto Rico, home to the Puerto Rico Open which is an alternate field event running parallel to the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It is certainly of interest that tow of the 7 longest golf courses on the PGA Tour host tournaments on the same week.<\/p>\n

Grand Reserve CC measures 7,506 yards and is an absolute behemoth for the players not at the Arnold Palmer.<\/p>\n

4. Quail Hollow Club \u2013 Truist Championship<\/p>\n

Host of the Truist Championship (and various major championships), Quail Hollow Club is home to the infamous \u2018Green Mile\u2019 and measures 7,538 yards, making it the 4th longest golf course in the PGA Tour rotation. I love this course, I think it makes for a great TV product, but I do think that in years when it hosts a major championship it should not also host a regular tour stop and I think the same goes for any other course double dipping.<\/p>\n

3. Augusta National Golf Club \u2013 The Masters<\/p>\n

At 7,545 Yards, Augusta National Golf Club is the third-longest golf course played by PGA Tour pros. It is not a PGA Tour event but an invitation-only major championship filled primarily with current, former, and future PGA Tour members. I was able to go to my first Masters this year, a Tuesday practice round.<\/p>\n

2. Muirfield Village Golf Club \u2013 The Memorial Tournament<\/p>\n

Coming in at #2 among the longest PGA Tour golf courses is Muirfield Village Golf Club which hosts The Memorial Tournament. This is a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course hosted annually by the Golden Bear himself.<\/p>\n

At 7,571 yards this is a true test for all of the longer hitters on tour. Shorter hitters will struggle on the longer holes but Muirfield isn\u2019t all about length, everyone knows that. They will still need to properly place shots in order to navigate the course without blowing up.<\/p>\n

1. Torrey Pines Golf Course (South Course) \u2013 Farmers Insurance Open<\/p>\n

The longest golf course on the PGA Tour, as mentioned at the start of this article, is the South Course at Torrey Pines. Home of the Farmers Insurance Open and other tournaments throughout the year, the South Course at Torrey Pines measures 7,802 yards.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just the longest course on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule, Torrey Pines is also one of the most picturesque in La Jolla. Tiger Woods won his 2008 U.S. Open here. Is is the #40 ranked public course in the United States. And a bucket list destination for ever lover of the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Image \/ Orlando Ramirez You are not imagining things, the game of golf gets longer every year.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[8153,111258,49,48,60,622,3747,109131,82,41405],"class_list":["post-235023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-slideshow","tag-augusta-national-golf-club","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-featured","tag-golf","tag-pga-tour","tag-slideshows","tag-sports","tag-the-masters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
