Big Spring
Host to the PGA Championship in 1952, the course at Big Spring Country Club has been altered a number of times down the years by the likes of William Diddel, Larry Packard, Arthur Hills and, most recently, Rees Jones in 2004.
The club merged with Harmony Landing Country Club, located half an hour’s drive to the north, in 2014, offering the combined membership the choice of two 18-hole layouts, fourteen tennis courts and two Junior Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Tree-lined fairways are routed around the MIddle Fork of Beargrass Creek, with several holes affected by the flowing waters of this natural water hazard. The new millennium remodel of the layout by Rees Jones – which involved rebuilding greens and adding fairway bunkers – now provides players with a tougher test.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
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.
