According to http://www.sports-wired.com/golf/trivia.asp, the correct answer is “none of the above.” They say that the oldest continuously used course in the US is Middlesboro Country Club in Kentucky.

Altho 2 of the courses in todays quiz are older by 1 and 2 years, I think the oldest golf course in continous use is actually Middlesboro country club in Middlesboro, Ky.

Also, the drawing is random, but we have a lot of golfers from Arizona and California so they tend to win more often, don’t you trust me? - Keri

More info:
St. Andrews is “the oldest continuously existing golf club in the United States,”
Middlesboro is “course opened is not definite, but 1889 is the earliest year that golfing has been confirmed. That makes the course the oldest continuously played course in the United States “
