Featuring attractive Alister MacKenzie-style bunkers, the Gary Nicklaus-designed course at The Dalhousie Golf Club is quite a departure from what many might consider a typical Nicklaus Design layout should look like.
Dalhousie was the fourth golf project to be developed by the Golden Bear’s design firm in Missouri – following Top of the Rock in 1996 and a couple of new millennium layouts, Winghaven and Porto Cima – and the layout occupies land originally settled on by Scottish immigrant Rebecca Ramsey, sister of the Earl of Dalhousie, in 1798.
Zoysia fairways, fringed with fescue and bluegrass rough, are laid out on an undulating, forested landscape that’s punctuated by several large, natural water hazards.
More observant golfers will also note that bent grass greensites have bunker complexes modeled on those at another Nicklaus Design course, The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Florida.
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.
