Traditionally, the best courses in the US are regarded as Pebble Beach and Pinehurst #2.
But new courses are being designed all the time, with different things that make them unique. Some consider the best as the "hardest" courses, others consider the best as the most well kept.
It just depends.

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is my personal favorite. However, I really enjoyed TPC at Sawgrass and Pinehurst #2. If I could I think I would most want to play the Augusta National. I have been to the Masters every year for the past 15 years and that golf course is absolutely amazing. There isn't a misplaced blade of grass anywhere on that property.

could only find the Best NEW
The Winners' Circle
It's a first-time honor for each of the winning architects. You could say it comes none too soon for a couple of veteran designers, but too late for another one who is basically out of the business. Another pair of architects may see their accomplishment overshadowed by the promotional machine of a champion golfer now dabbling in course design.
There are back stories galore accompanying our Best New Courses this year, but first comes the declaration of winners: The Best New Private Course is Sutton Bay Golf Club in Agar, S.D. In the Best New Upscale Public category (covering courses whose green fees exceed $50), The Quarry at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, Minn., prevailed, and in the Best New Affordable Public category (for courses whose green fees don't exceed $50), the winner is Copper Mill Golf Club in Zachary, La. In the Best New Canadian category, top honors went to The Rock Golf Club in Ontario's Muskoka region.
Golf Digest's Best New Rankings are decided by our nationwide panel of more than 800 course raters who judge candidate courses on the basis of five criteria: Shot Values, Design Variety, Resistance to Scoring, Memorability and Aesthetics. The average scores of each criterion are totaled for each course, then bonus points are awarded to clubs that allow walking, adjusted by our panel's collective judgment as to the true walkability of each course. In each of our four categories, the course with the highest total score was declared Best New.

I'd say Pebble Beach, but what do I know ? I don't play golf, I like to watch it though, but I don't know the names of the famous courses.

don't know, since I haven't played every course in the US... but I'd say Bandon Dunes resort (3 courses there) is the best resort... in summer.
