Wonderful use of varied terrain, working down into the lowlands and across ravines on the front, then moving up into the hills on the back.

Need an A+ GPA to break 80 here
The par 5, 1st hole reminds me of Cypress Pointe in that you have to hit over a road and its often hard to get your aim point right.

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.
