Not that anything about golf is easy, but now that the final PGA Tour stats are in for 2025, we can take a look at the golf courses that were most favorable to scoring by the pros this year. As everyone knows, the length of a course doesn't directly correlate to scoring conditions. The easiest scoring course in 2025 was also the sixth longest on tour.

Where did the four major venues rank in difficulty in 2025?

First, let's tell you where the majors ranked in 2025. The U.S. Open, no surprise, had the most difficult golf course: Oakmont Country Club. Behind it were Quail Hollow Club, which hosted the PGA Championship, in third; Augusta National, home of the Masters, checking in at No. 7; and Royal Portrush at No. 10 for the Open Championship.

What were the easiest golf courses on the PGA Tour in 2025?

There were 32 golf courses in 2025 where the scoring average was below par. There were 11 where the scoring average was as least two strokes better than par. The top course on this list was simply overrun by PGA Tour pros in 2025, who averaged more than four strokes below par. That was at The Sentry, which is not on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.
