For the average golfer the chance to play on a world class golf course is the dream of a life time. There are hundreds of great golf courses both in the United States as well as around the world. You can use a golf course finder to do some research but for people who don’t have enough time and money to play all the great golf courses I have narrowed the field to five golf courses which have been nominated due to a certain aspect or feature of the course. The five courses and the category they represent is as follows.
The most difficult golf course is widely regarded as the Cypress point golf course. This golf course is a private coarse which features a single eighteen hole course. See picture above. Cypress point is well known for its views over the Pacific Ocean and the 16th hole which is actually played by hitting over the water. This golf club is also famous for its use as one of the courses used for the AT and T Pebble Beach Pro-am and has hosted may famous golf personalities over its long history.
The most beautiful of the hundreds of golf courses to choose from is the Augusta National Golf Club. This course is located in Augusta, Georgia and has been around since the first tee off in 1933. This golf course continues to be voted the best golf course in the world and also the most beautiful of golf courses due to the shrubs and flowers that have been grown to represent each of the different holes.
One of the most unusual golf courses is the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course which is in Indianapolis located right next to the race track. This golf course was designed by Pete Dye and is constantly rated as one of the top public golf courses. What makes this golf course unique is that four of the holes are located in the middle of the race track.
Considered as one of the most scenic golf courses in the world, the Pebble Beach Golf course is one of those courses that everyone has on their must play list. The course is a challenging one but rewards the player with scenery such as cliffside fairways, rugged coastline and wide open areas with great views.
One of the most expensive golf courses to play is the Shadow Creek Course which is located in Las Vegas. This golf course has been created in the Nevada desert and was designed by Tom Fazio. This golf course is truly an oasis in the desert but with that comes the large price to play which is upwards of $400US.
