What the Pros Say

I really like the golf course. The golf course is a great test. You’ve just got to look at the winning scores of the last however many years and it’s not super low, and I enjoy that when it’s a battle and you’ve gotta grind. It’s a great golf course and I enjoy being here.

Matt Fitzpatrick 2026 Valspar Championship Winner

I love this place...I love coming here. I think it’s one of the most underrated courses that we have, that we play...it’s a place that I enjoy playing because I think it’s an old school kind of design.

Justin Thomas Two-Time PGA Championship Winner, OWGR #14

Yeah, good to be back. It's kind of a tricky course. I think I've always enjoyed the challenge. That's kind of why I've been back the last few years. Just presents itself well and different wind directions it can be a little intimidating. Just enjoy that challenge and, yeah, looking forward to having another good week.

Xander Schauffle 10x PGA TOUR Champion

I think it's a great golf course. If you're a yard off some times the green depth is normally so, you know, it's so narrow, so small that if you're not in the fairway it's really hard to get the right distances…It's a great golf course, and it's firming up, which is going to make these fairways even narrower and put more premium on hitting 'em.

Jordan Spieth Three-Time Major Champion & 2015 Valspar Championship Winner

As I said, I love this golf course and I think it's a really good test. It's one of those courses, especially with all the ball rollback stuff I think this is a golf course that will, that has stood the test of time and I think it will continue to, just because of the trees, there's some water around there, very narrow fairways, thick rough, small greens. I think it's a great tournament, great golf course, and I would love to win back-to-back.

Viktor Hovland 2025 Valspar Championship Winner

It's up there, it's top 5. This course - I have great history on it. I love it. Doesn't really favor anybody, which is great. It's not a bomber's paradise which seems like typical golf courses that we play this year on tour. So it's nice to play a golf course like this where it's placement, put the ball in the right spots, really tricky, greens are super difficult, so you really have to think your way around it.

Brandt Snedeker Fed Ex Cup Winner & 9-Time PGA TOUR Champion

One of the most difficult courses on the PGA TOUR, but almost universally liked by the players.

Dan Hicks NBC Legendary Commentator

It's one of my favorite courses that we play. It's so hard. No one's going to get away from you. You need to play well no matter what. You're not going to breathe around here.

Matt Wallace PGA TOUR Winner

I think out here par is good a lot of times. You're trying to play patient golf. It's a tough course. So just giving yourself those mid-range chances for birdie and not trying to get too greedy at times is really important.

David Lipsky Runner-Up at 2026 Valspar Championship

Yeah, I mean, Copperhead course is no joke. You got to know where your golf ball is going. The rough is up, the fairways are tight, and the greens are firm. So when you got all three of those combined it's a really good golf course.
