Javier Arana, nicknamed ‘Cisco’, began playing the game at the age of ten, practicing on the old 11-hole Neguri course which had been laid out close to the family home on the banks of the Gobelas River.
Javier Arana, nicknamed ‘Cisco’ within the family, was the eldest of three sons born to Luis Arana Urigüen and Maria Dolores Ybarra López de Calle. His parents – Luisón and Lola as they were known – were from wealthy Basque Country families which had amassed fortunes from mining activities in the Bilbao region.
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.
