CordeValle
Located in the Santa Clara Valley, close to the Santa Cruz Mountains, CordeValle is operated by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, with the course at its private golf club offering tee times to resort guests.
CordeValle Golf Club plays host to a number of top national golf tournaments – such as the PGA Tour’s 2013/14 Frys.com Open and the 2016 US Women’s Open – so it’s perhaps no surprise to learn it can be stretched to all of 7,360 yards for competitive play.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr and occupying a 260-acre site that’s free from real estate development, the course first opened for play in 1999.
The 325-yard short par four 8th is a real feature hole on the front nine, with water guarding the front right of the green, whilst the short 16th is the pick of the par threes, playing to a small target that’s surrounded by sand.

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.
