Glenwild Golf Club & Spa
Although the course at Glenwild Golf Club measures an imposing 7,541 yards from the back tees, because it is situated at an altitude of 7,000 feet above sea level, it really only plays to a length of around 6,800 yards.
Laid out within a large residential development, the course offers players of all ages and abilities a challenging round of golf, particularly at the par fives (at 3, 7 and 16) where two of these holes measure in excess of 600 yards from the back markers.
The four short holes on the card are also worthy of mention, particularly the two par threes on the back nine at holes 11 and 17, both of which call for tee shots to be played across wetlands and water from tee to green.
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.
