Measuring just over 7,000 yards from the tips, the course is laid out across rolling terrain, with holes arranged as two returning nines. Water comes into play occasionally, most memorably at the right doglegging par four 13th which plays to an island green.

Other highlights here include the closing par fours on both nines, rated stroke index 2 and 1, respectively: the 9th narrows significantly as the fairway approaches the green and the 18th doglegs right to a home green that’s protected by an enormous bunker to the left of the putting surface.
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.
