The following list is comprised from the architects who I have played at least 3 of their courses. I have divided them into two groups; Classic are those before WWII and Modern are those after WWII. These rankings are based only on the courses I have played by the individual architects, not on the entirety of work they have completed. I also personally ranked these courses in order. The date in (xxxx) is the year the course was initially opened. (redesign xxxx) indicates this architect did not do the original design but worked on the course in this year. The Golf Advisor and Top100golfcourses websites are where I tried to verify the details below.
