It was about 20 years ago when I first looked at the Golf Digest Top 100 Golf Courses in America list. I thought a knew a lot about golf courses back then, but it turns out that I didn’t know jack shit.
I had not heard of at least 40 of the golf courses on that list and I was also disappointed to learn that the vast majority of golf courses on the Top 100 list were private golf courses. As a twenty something year old kid, I had no idea how to access these golf courses and the thought of playing every single one of those courses felt overwhelming. So I flipped the page and decided to focus on the Top 100 public courses list instead.
It took me about 20 years but in 2023 I finally finished that list. With a par on the 18th hole at Belvedere Golf Club in Michigan. I had played all 1800 of America’s greatest public golf holes. If only I had an awesome way to track and celebrate this achievement.
Fortunately it would only take me another year to find the perfect solution to all of my golf course list chasing dreams.
Rota Golf delivers the very finest Top 100 golf “pegboard” in the entire world. You simply stick one of the 100 provided tees into the corresponding hole for each course. It is without a doubt the greatest way to keep track of one of the greatest personal endeavors in golf.
Each piece is produced individually with the finest white birch wood and handcrafted and a matte varnish. Each map undergoes a rigorous creation process and no two pieces are the same.
There are three distinct stain options available and two unique frame options for each piece. Each piece is personalized with your name or whatever you want. You even get an individual Serial No for each map. There is simply nothing finer than Rota Golf.
By the time that I discovered Rota Golf, I had also managed to make my way through a large portion of the Top 100 Golf courses in America list as well. I have just 7 pegs left to go on my 2024 list.
The Rota Golf map is not for everyone. Only the finest list chasers will aspire to this level of greatness. At 50'“ x 30” the the size of the map is also in line with this level of magnitude. It’s a bold piece that commands attention. It is certain to create conversation with every golfer that enters its sphere of influence.
For me this golf map is much more than just a map, It is a beautiful piece of art that tells hundreds of stories and reminds me of the many people that shared in my experiences across America. It is truly one of the coolest things that I have on my wall of golf.
