Fairways on the front nine are routed around the reservoir with four of them actually playing over it. These holes require tee shots at the par three 3rd, the par three 5th, and the par five 7th to carry the water, as does the approach shot to the green on the par four 8th.
The terrain on the back nine is a good bit hillier as holes move westward in an anticlockwise direction from the clubhouse. The par five 12th is regarded as the signature hole with its peninsula green protruding into Boggs Pond but beware the right doglegged 18th, rated stroke index 2.
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.
