Willie Campbell set out the original 6-hole course at Cohasset Golf Club but Donald Ross expanded this initial layout to eighteen holes in two stages by 1920. Ron Prichard (in 1999) and Ron Forse (in 2014) have since conducted course renovations.

Cohasset

Willie Campbell set out the original 6-hole course at Cohasset Golf Club but Donald Ross expanded this initial layout to eighteen holes in two stages by 1920. Ron Prichard (in 1999) and Ron Forse (in 2014) have since conducted course renovations.

Highlight holes include the longest par five on the card, the 576-yard 4th, which is rated stroke index 1. A creek slashes across the fairway and a couple of cross bunkers need to be negotiated on the way to a false-fronted green that’s surrounded by large stone formations.

On the back nine, the 267-yard 13th is another great hole – a Classic Donald Ross par 3½ short par four following a par 3½ long par three, played to a severely back-to-front sloping green that’s protected by bunkers to the left, right and front of the putting surface.

The club considers the 376-yard 16th as the “signature hole” on the course which twists between more big, rocky outcroppings on its way to a raised, bunkerless green that falls off steeply on the left.

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.
