March Madness: Which No. 1 Seed Has the Best Golf Course? Here's the Top 4

March Madness has arrived!

Millions of brackets will be filled out (and then more than likely get busted), Cinderella stories will be written, and two teams will emerge as the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Basketball National Champions.

Before the mayhem begins, however, we thought it'd be fun to debate a topic that involves the top seeds from each region:

The only criteria here is similar to the rankings we did for College Football Playoff teams, where the university or college has to have its name associated with the course. There's something inherently cool about having a golf course with the name of your school on it, and we're all about school pride . . . especially during March Madness.

So, without further ado, here's our Top 4 courses:

We start off in Sweet Home Alabama at Auburn University Club, home of the Men's South Region No. 1 seeded Auburn Tigers. Designed by former Auburn men's golf team member Bill Bergin, the course is home to the university's men's and women's golf teams, so you know it packs a punch. Its 7,326 yards and 18 holes weave around Yarbrough Lake via rolling hills and woodlands, mixing in natural water features like rivers, creeks and streams to create a gorgeous setting but also some challenging holes. However, the course prides itself in being a spot that can be enjoyed by all skill levels and not just Division I golfers, so a spin around here is well worth it, no matter what tee you play from.

We head next to The Swamp and the home of the Men's West Region No. 1 seed, where the Mark Bostick Golf Course has been an anchor in the northwest part of the University of Florida campus for over 80 years. The course was originally designed by Donald Ross in the 1920s but has evolved over the years. Bobby Weed transformed Mark Bostick in 2001, overseeing a $4 million renovation project that transformed the course's contours, beefed up its length and made it more challenging for the Florida golf teams that practice there . . . and have done so for decades. Mark Bostick is relatively short still by today's standards (par 70; 6,700 yards) but its soft rolling terrain, tree-lined fairways and Donald Ross architectural bones yield both a fun and memorable experience in Gainesville.

While the Texas women's basketball team is eyeing a national title as a No. 1 seed, the school's namesake golf course already has quite a resume as our No. 2 choice. Located in the Steiner Ranch area of Austin, the University of Texas Golf Club is a Bechtol Russell design and home to the school's legendary golf teams . . . which means the practice facilities are state-of-the-art. Located about 30 minutes from campus, the par-71 course tips out at 7,412 yards and is a challenging, stern test - as it should be since Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth used to practice here. The brawn is matched with beauty, though, as UT Golf Club also provides some seriously beautiful panoramic views of Texas Hill Country and overlooks Lake Austin. There's also the Spieth Lower 40 6-hole, par-3 course to warm-up on.

Known for its talented college basketball teams, including this year's No. 1 seed in the Men's East Region, Duke University in Durham, North Carolina also has a fantastic golf course on its campus. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opening in 1957, the Duke University Golf Club is on an excellent piece of property that creates a mildly rolling terrain with unusual elevation changes — in a similar vein to nearby Pinehurst and Mid-Pines. Jones' eldest son Rees Jones came in for a redesign of tees and greens complexes, plus re-grassing, in the '90s, but left his father's work largely the same. As Trent Jones Sr. says, "the golf holes were on the ground, just lying there, waiting to be grassed over," making it an easy choice for our No. 1 spot
