Golf fans will be treated to two brand-new courses when the 2025 season begins in January.

There are, of course, traditional venues which generally receive praise from the world’s best players. For example, Collin Morikawa loves Riviera Country Club, along with multiple big-name stars.

Lesser-known courses have also impressed over the past year. During the FedEx Cup fall, the Black Desert Resort in Utah was praised for being one of the more unique courses on the PGA Tour circuit.

Now, ahead of the 2025 season, let’s examine two new courses that will test the world’s best players.

Truist Championship at Philadephia Cricket Club

The Truist Championship will replace the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club.

However, since the PGA Championship will be held in Charlotte in May, a replacement venue has been found for the 2025 edition.

Philadelphia Cricket Club will host the 2025 Truist Championship on its Wissahickon Course.

Designed by A.W. Tillinghast, the 7119-yard course has a slope rating of 140. It has previously ranked in America’s top 200 courses, has been ranked inside Pennsylvania’s top ten since 2017, and is currently ranked fifth.

The name Wissahickon comes from the Lenape word for ‘catfish stream,’ and Wissahickon Creek runs adjacent to the course. The venue has previously hosted the 2014 Philadelphia Open, the 2015 PGA Professional National Championship, the 2016 Constellation Senior Players Championship, and the 2024 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball.

Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Golf Club

The ZOZO Championship, previously held during the FedEx Cup fall, is no more. It has been renamed the Baycurrent Classic, and there is also a new venue for the tournament.

Yokohama Country Club in Japan will host the event, which in 2024 attracted Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, and Collin Morikawa.

The course, which was remodelled by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in 2015, is known for its wide fairways and dense clusters of pine trees. For members, the course plays 6938 yards but will no doubt be lengthened when the PGA Tour arrives.
