Without exaggeration, it stands as the finest Jack Nicklaus design I've ever had the privilege to play.

The last time I played this course it was called the Challenge at Manele so I was excited to get to play it again after all these years.

Manele has ocean views from nearly every hole, and is beautifully maintained.

I've never been a huge fan of Nicklaus designs but this one is excellent.

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.
