Best Golf Courses in the World

If you are devoting an entire day to this game, why not find a place that’s serene? What is golf without the proper surrounding? In order to play golf, one must be in a calming mood because it’s a game of such patience and concentration. Here are a few of the best places to play to get the full experience. First off, allow me to introduce to you the Augusta National Golf Club located in Augusta, Georgia. Beautifully landscaped with 18 holes of breathtaking scenery, currently titled the number one golf course in golfers digest’s list of America’s 100 greatest courses. No wonder it has hosted one of the four major championships in professional golf. This course features azaleas, blooming shrubs and 100 year old trees. What makes this course even more unique is the fact that each hole is named after the trees and shrubs that boarder the course. Another course that caught my attention was the Gardagolf Country club in Soriano del Lago, Italy. This is known as one of the most challenging courses in Italy in 15 years. Who doesn’t love a good challenge? In the golf world that’s what you want to look for.

It’s no surprise the professional’s seeked this place out to hold two Italian opens. Lastly another great course to experience is the Pine Valley Golf Club in Pine Valley, New Jersey. This course was founded by George Arthur Crump in 1913 and has gained the tile as the best golf course in the world by golf magazine. When designing this course he believed that no more than two consecutive holes should play in the same direction (they should not be parallel to one another), players shouldn’t be able to see any other hole other than they’re own, and a round of golf on his course should force the player to utilize every club in the bag. This masterpiece stretches amongst 2 sq km of New Jersey’s thick pinelands. This course is so elite you must be personally invited by the board members to receive tee time. I can imagine a high demand for such an amazing course. The biggest factors to a great game of golf are the weather, the people you’re with and most importantly what you’re surrounded by. You want to look for a course that will give you the most space and relaxation.
