Top 10 Golf Courses in the World
Top 10 Golf Courses in the World
1. St Andrews (Old Course)
Taking home the prize for the best golf course in the world is St. Andrews in Scotland. This storied course holds the record for hosting the most Open Championships, with 29. The course has practically been around since the game itself, being built in the 1400s. With so much history in the course itself, combined with the historic matches that have occurred here, nothing can beat St. Andrews for the top position.
2. Pine Valley Golf Club
Although this course isn’t famous for hosting any major championships, what it lacks in big-time golf notoriety, it makes up for with its gorgeous scenery and impeccable design. The course has a desert feel but it’s surrounded by pine trees at the same time, giving it a truly unique and cool design.
3. Augusta National Golf Club
This course, first constructed in 1933, is famous for hosting the Masters and some of the most memorable moments in golf history. In addition to its historical place in the game of golf, the course is also a masterpiece of beauty and design.
4. Cypress Point Club
This course used to be part of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Although an unfortunate incident led to it being dropped it’s still one of the most beautiful settings to play golf in the world.
5. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club
Shinnecock Hills in Southampton New York has already hosted four U.S. Open Championships and is set to host it again in 2018.
6. Royal County Down Golf Club
This wide-open course in Northern Ireland has been around since 1889 and hosted numerous important competitions. It also boasts some of the finest individual holes in the world.
7. Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Unfortunately, the history of Dornoch is getting overlooked because of its relative inaccessibility, which unfortunately affects its tournament pedigree. However, this is still one of the finest courses in all of Scotland.
8. Oakmont Country Club
Home of the 2016 U.S. Open, Oakmont was actually designed by its industrialist founder instead of a well-known professional architect.
9. Royal Melbourne Golf Club
This course is Australia’s longest and oldest continually existing club. It’s also the most distinguished venuein the country.
10. Muirfield
This course has held the Open Championship 16 times. While the record belongs to another course in Scotland, Muifield still has a strong place in Open Championship history combined with a fabulous course.
