Caddie Tap How Caddie Tap Trips works
Caddie Tap Trips recommends where to stay for golf trips to 112 top-ranked public courses, using verified course locations and live hotel prices.
Which courses Caddie Tap Trips includes
Every course appears on Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Public Courses (2025-26) or GolfPass's Golfers' Choice list (2026). Both are public-access lists, so you can actually book a round. Private clubs are excluded — you can't stay-and-play a course you can't get on.
How Caddie Tap Trips verifies course locations
A course only gets a page when two independent sources agree on where it is: the Caddie Tap course catalog (mapped course geometry) and an OpenStreetMap golf-course feature, within 8 km. Courses where the sources disagree or can't be confirmed are left out rather than guessed. Distances are straight-line; drive times are estimates (straight-line distance × 1.3 at highway-mixed speeds), so check a map before you book a tight tee time.
How Caddie Tap Trips picks where to stay
For a multi-course trip, Caddie Tap Trips recommends basing yourself near the course that minimises total travel to every other course in the group. Hotel prices and availability load live from booking partners for your dates.
