British expatriates formed the now defunct Apia Golf Club on the northern coastline of Upolu back in 1925. Forty five years later, some Apia members established the Royal Samoa Country Club when they laid out a 9-hole track beside Fagalii domestic airport, a couple of miles east of their now abandoned course.

The former Head of State, Malietoa Tanumafili II was not only club patron but a low handicapper who loved to get a round in whenever time permitted. Unfortunately, he passed away a few months before the club hosted the golfing event during the 13th South Pacific Games in 2007.
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.
