The top golf courses in the world
April 15th, 2009 Senior Golf
Here are my personal top five courses from places all over the World. Get those electric golf trolleys ready, here come the best of the best.
5. Number five is Shinecock Hills golf club
This is a brilliant course that has been the host to four US opens. Really very challenging, easily going to struggle to get your usual handicap on this course. This course was designed way back in 1891 and had major works to it in 1930 and since then the course has remained in pretty much the same way, which of course is brilliant.
4. The oldest course ever? St Andrews
This is more than likely the oldest golf course in the world with golf rumoured to have been played here way back in the 12th century. Although this course is the home of golf it apprently doesnt treat newcomers very well. This is a course that you have to get to know before you like playing here so many other golfers have said.
3. Cypress point golf club
the vast majority of people will never get a chance to play on this course as it only has 250 members but the last few holes have been called the best in golf. This had to come into the top five, I have never actually played this course but always wanted too.
2. Royal County Down golf course is at number two
This course has been voted the best course in the UK, locaded in Ireland it was designed way back in 1889 with huge modifcations made in 1908. This took the number two slot simply because it is a fantastic course with some of the best golf I have ever played.
1.Pine Valley golf course
This course is stunning both in looks and in the way it plays which is why in my opinion it has taken the number one spot in this list. Great caddies and a brilliant course apart from the 10ft deep bunker with no sand in it! Get it in that bunker and you are truly stuffed.
There you have it my personal favourite top five course in the world. No need to charge up those golf batteries when you have the caddies at these places to drag your clubs around for you.
