Bawburgh (18-hole)

Bawburgh Golf Club was established in 1979 by Alan Barnard, with the owner designing the first 9-hole layout that was opened for playing. Twelve years after the layout was expanded to 18 holes, and a second 9-hole course has been constructed to create the 27-hole golf course.

The 18-hole course spans about 6,700 yards starting from the back tees. It plays at a par 72 holes. The holes are arranged as two nines returning. There aren't many water hazards along the course however, be aware of the pond which is located just to the left of the green.

The holes that stand out are the second among the three-par par holes on the 2nd hole, which is 136 yards long as well as the slightly right-leaning 4th par four (rated by stroke index 2,) and the final (and shorter) among the five pars on the left doglegging 13th which has an out-of-bounds area across the left of the fairway.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.

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.
