The early holes can knock players off their stride if they allow the water hazards to intimidate as there are ponds to the right, in front of, then to the left of the greens at the first three holes, followed by a tee shot across yet more water at the 4th hole.
After that slightly daunting start, the round settles down and golfers face only a couple of further aquatic challenges between tee and green at the 9th and 18th. The home hole measures 412-yards from the back tees and it kinks left (with out of bounds on that side) as it plays toward an offset green protected by – you guessed it – water on the right hand side.
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.
