This is a list of golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and his company Nicklaus Design, a partnership between Nicklaus, his four sons, and his son-in-law—one of the largest golf design practices in the world.
In the mid-1960s, Pete Dye initially requested Nicklaus's advice for the design of The Golf Club in suburban Columbus, Ohio. His first design Harbour Town Golf Links, co-credited with Dye, was opened for play in 1969. A subsequent early, yet more prominent design was Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio which opened in 1974 and has hosted the Memorial Tournament since its inception in 1976. This course has also hosted the 1987 Ryder Cup and the 1998 Solheim Cup matches. For the first few years, all of his projects were co-designs with either Pete Dye or Desmond Muirhead.
The company has designed over 410 courses in 45 countries, over 1% of all the courses in the world. Most Nicklaus-designed courses are in the United States, but courses are found in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, and Mexico.
