Rory McIlroy revealed the four golf courses he would have on his Mount Rushmore.

McIlroy recently made an appearance on the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason and Travis Kelce as he prepares to return to the golf course.

McIlroy is playing at this week’s Truist Championship, his first appearance since he completed back-to-back Masters wins last month. The Hollywood man is gearing up for the second men’s major of the year when the PGA Championship takes place in a week.

When asked to name his Mount Rushmore of golf courses, Rory McIlroy, after tentatively making sure that meant top 4, picked Kingston Heath in Melbourne, Australia, his home course of Royal County Down, Pine Valley in New Jersey and Cypress Point in California.

Kingston Heath is just 35 minutes outside Melbourne city centre and is consistently ranked in the top 3 for courses in Australia by Golf Digest, with its neighbour, Royal Melbourne, also getting high ranks as well.

McIlroy will be delighted when he goes down under later this year, as he’s set to take part in the Australian Open at Kingston Heath this December.

Then, Royal County Down, the course of his home county. Golf Digest also routinely ranks it as one of the best courses in the world, being number one back in 2024. That same year, it hosted the Irish Open, which Rory McIlroy finished runner-up in, just one shot behind Rasmus Hojgaard.

Then McIlroy names two American courses, one east and one west coast in Pine Valley and Cypress Point. Pine Valley is currently not in rotation on the PGA Tour, with McIlroy saying it’s one of his favourite to play when he’s when he’s not in competition.

Cypress Point in California used to be part of the rotation for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which McIlroy won in 2025, but has been out of it for a while and rarely hosts public events, with the Walker Cup last year being a rare ocassion.
