A popular saying goes, “A bad day golfing is always better than a good day at work.” While that statement absolutely rings true for the vast majority of avid golfers, there is no denying that playing on a world–class course can elevate an ordinary round to an unforgettable one. We have 5 must visit Golf Courses-
Augusta National Golf Club
Augusta National is the most iconic and exclusive golf course on the planet. Home to the PGA Tour’s most prestigious tournament (The Masters), this course is rich in tradition and history. It has some of the most beautiful landscaping you will ever see on a golf course. Unfortunately the club’s strict rules and limited memberships prohibit the vast majority of the public from ever experiencing the thrill of playing a round at Augusta National.
TPC Sawgrass – Stadium Course
TPC Sawgrass is home to one of the most iconic holes in the world. The par-three 17th on Sawgrass’s Stadium Course is short (it usually plays at 125–150 yards), but thanks to its “Island Green,” the hole has the potential to ruin a solid round or drastically alter the leaderboard during tournament play. Sawgrass is more than just one iconic signature hole, though.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
In terms of pure beauty, it’s hard to top Pebble Beach. The iconic northern California course runs along the coastlines of the Pacific Ocean and Carmel Bay and boasts unparalleled views. Pebble Beach has hosted the U.S. Open five times, the PGA Championship once, and has been home to the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am since 1947.
Torrey Pines Golf Course
Torrey Pines is home to two of the best public golf courses in the United States. Both of their courses (the South and the North) run along the coastal cliffs of La Jolla, California and offer scenic views of the Pacific Ocean from start to finish.
Old Course at St. Andrews
The Old Course at St. Andrews is widely considered to be the home of golf. The course was established in 1552, and played a large role in shaping the game as we all know it today. The Old Course is known for the Swilcan Bridge, its double greens shared between two holes, and its brutally tough bunkers.
