The layout extends to 6,664 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 72, with holes arranged as two returning nines. Water hazards feature at half the holes, especially around the greens, and the 5-hole sequence from the 3rd to 7th is largely dominated by this aquatic influence.
Notable holes include the 441-yard par four 2nd, doglegging sharply left to the green; the 533-yard par five 9th, with a lake running along the right of the fairway; the shortest of the par threes at the 147-yard 14th; and the 438-yard closing hole which narrows considerably as it reaches 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.
