Notable holes include the 434-yard 4th, with a pond to the right of a fairway that rises up to a an elevated green; the 203-yard 6th, where a waterfall sits to the left of the putting surface; and the 541-yard 12th, which plays downhill to a green that’s fronted by a creek feeding into a pond on the right side of the fairway.
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.
