The 7,117-yard par 72 layout weaves through a dense pine forest dotted with dogwoods and around four small lakes. Dallas native Justin Leonard holds the course record of 69 and he’s a big fan of both the consistent bunker sand found at Pine Dunes and its tight fairways.
Architect Morrish designed the course with a quartet of very strong short holes (at 3, 6, 12 and 16) and a pair of trademark short par fours (at the 2nd and 15th). Still, many regard the most memorable holes on the card to be the par fives at 11 (where a large sandy area crosses the fairway) and 18 (which doglegs right past water to the home green).

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.
