The course Adam Scott would choose to play every day for the rest of his life

It’s pretty clear now that Australia has an impressive collection of golf courses, and there’s no shortage of options there for Scott.

Still, when he was asked by Golf Digest back in 2010 which course he’d choose if he could only play one for the rest of his life, he picked a spectacular spot in the US.

He said: “Cypress Point. It’s a golfing architectural masterpiece, really clever. I wish I could’ve played it when the sand dunes were exposed with less grass. It’s brilliant, though, and not too long.”

Cypress Point’s exit from the PGA Tour

Cypress Point has always been known for its exclusivity. The course was part of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am rotation from 1947 until 1990.

In 1991, though, it was removed after failing to meet the PGA Tour’s anti-discrimination requirements. At that point, the club still didn’t have any people of colour among its members.

Sports Illustrated reported in 1997 that Cypress Point explained their membership list had a seven-year wait and they weren’t willing to change it just to fit new policies.

Golf Digest noted this year that Cypress Point has only around 250 members, with initiation fees believed to be close to $250,000.

The course did host the Walker Cup in 2025 under the condition that no changes were made by the USGA. Still, there’s no indication that a return to the PGA Tour is on the horizon.
