Cosby
Founded in 1895, Cosby Golf Club was renamed from its original title of Narborough Golf Club in 1934. A 9-hole track operated until 1966, when a 14-hole layout was introduced. Two years later, another four holes were added.
Today, this tree-lined course measures almost 6,500 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 71, with holes occupying an area of not more 115 acres. A round here opens with seven straight par fours and there are only two par fives on the card, at the 9th and 11th.
Notable holes include the right doglegging par four 3rd (“Steeple”) which is rated stroke index 2; the long, narrow par three 8th (“Memory”); the tough par four 12th (“Bogey”); and the tight par four 18th (“Orchard”) which plays to a heavily sand-protected home green.

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.
