Paige Spiranac has played some of the most renowned golf courses in the United States during her career. When asked to rank her favorites, however, the former professional golfer had little trouble narrowing down the list.
During an episode of The Joe Vulpis Podcast from June 22nd, Spiranac revealed the courses that have left the biggest impression on her, splitting her selections between private and public layouts.
“Okay, I'll do private and public because I do think that they're very different golf courses. Pine Valley, number one. Cypress, number two. Oakmont, number three. That's on private side,” said Spiranac.

New Jersey’s Pine Valley was ranked the number one course in Golf Magazine's 100 Top Courses in the U.S. and the World a total of five times. Understandably, Spiranac chose it as her favorite.
Along the Pacific Ocean lies California’s Cypress Point Club, and its beautiful views must have caught Spiranac’s eye. Oakmont Country Club, a National Historic Landmark, is also part of the 33-year-old’s list.
“And then for public, I would say, not in a specific order, but Goat Hill. And then you have Fox Hollow in Colorado, Goat Hill is in Oceanside. And then number three, that's so hard. There's so many. I play so many public golf courses. Highland Ranch, and that's in Colorado,” she added on The Joe Vulpis Podcast.
Goat Hill Park is widely popular, and so is Colorado’s Fox Hollow. The University of Denver Golf Club at Highlands Ranch was designed by three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin, and it is known for its expansive bentgrass greens.
Spiranac's golf instructional videos and vlogs often feature courses she has played, but her latest viral moment had nothing to do with golf course rankings.
Paige Spiranac’s viral 4th of July post
Spiranac was accused of using AI for her 4th of July X post. However, she made sure to dismiss the claims.
Spiranac celebrated Independence Day by posting an image of herself in U.S.-flag-themed swimwear with fireworks in the background. People mistook it for synthetic media.
“Not AI. This image was from my 2026 calendar. We shot it in studio, and then a graphic designer made the background,” replied Spiranac to the AI claim on X.
The artificially created background and the professional editing raised doubts in the minds of viewers. However, Spiranac’s explanation cleared up the situation.
