Southampton Golf Club

Situated in close proximity to Shinnecock Hills and the National Golf Links of America, the course at Southampton Golf Club flies under the radar, which is just how this private club likes it.

Seth Raynor was born and raised in Southampton, NY, so it’s fitting that the civil engineer originally laid out the course at Southampton Golf Club in 1925. Brian Silva recently restored the bunkering, returned the greens to their original shapes and sizes and advised on a substantial tree-clearing programme.

Unfortunately Southampton is still largely unappreciated due to its close proximity to the other higher profile courses in the area, which is a shame.

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.
