Lang Lang Golf Club was formed in 1925, moving to a number of different locations before finally arriving at its current premises in 1960. Professionals George Naismith and Bill Walker designed the layout, charging the club nothing for their efforts.
The course extends to 5,710 metres from the back markers, playing to a par of 70 (35 out then 35 in), with only one par five hole located in each returning 9-hole circuit. Water comes into play at only one hole, the short par four 3rd, where a pond lies to the front left of the green. The 14th is another notable short two-shotter, doglegging left from tee to green.
Other highlight holes on this tree-lined track include the difficult 375-metre 8th (veering wildly right to a well-bunkered green); the longest of the par threes at the 160-metre 12th (in the northwest corner of the property); and the closing par four 18th which eases slightly right off the tee to the home green next to the clubhouse.
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.
