Amana Colonies Golf Course opened for play in 1989 and its tree-lined fairways within a 600-acre forest offer golfers a feeling of complete and utter golfing seclusion. Featuring wandering streams and shimmering ponds, the course offers five sets of tees, allowing a round to be played at any length between 5,228 and 6,824 yards.
Feature holes include the 522-yard 2nd, rated stroke index 1, which doglegs left then right from tee to green. Both the par threes on the front nine – the 179-yard 4th and 191-yard 8th – are rather spectacular holes, with sand-protected greens positioned behind water hazards.
On the back nine, the short par four 14th is a really interesting hole as the narrow fairway falls away steeply on the left, mandating most players to place their tee shot on the shelf to the right, allowing a straightforward approach to the green with the second shot.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
