Fields Ranch (The Swing)

The Swing is a 10-hole short course collaboration by Gil Hanse and Beau Welling. When their full 18-hole courses were completed, they walked the short course holes and made design and detail decisions together.

A true collaboration in that Welling’s team would direct Hanse’s shapers and vice versa. It is lit up at night and described as an “urban golf park” with music, a tequila truck and a more laid-back atmosphere. Shorter holes, sloping and tiered greens, more shallow bunkers, and open entrances to the greens make it a playground for newcomers and seasoned players.Paired with the 75,000 sq foot putting course The Dance Floor, you have hours of family-friendly fun.

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.
