Ron Fream of Golfplan designed the course at Sandpine Golf Club, where the tree-lined fairways occupy sandy-soiled, undulating terrain just outside the city of Gangneung, home to the indoor events at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Opened for play in 2007, the course is set within a beautiful coastal pine forest, with the trees protecting golfers from the prevailing East Sea breezes. Extending to just over 7,000 yards from the back markers, the layout plays to a par of 72 from five tee positions.
Feature holes include water-laden par fours at the 6th and 7th and a terrific closing sequence that starts with the right doglegged par five 16th and ends with the uphill par four 18th, with the home green perched above an enormous protecting bunker.
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.
