The Most Iconic Golf Courses in The World

Golf has a long and rich history in both the UK, the US and abroad and this history has led to the development of some iconic courses across the globe which are steeped in history. Here are a few of our favourite iconic golf courses from around the world.

St Andrews Old Course

Fife’s St Andrews Old Course is one of the most famous golf courses in the world. Stretching across over 6700 yards, the 72 par course is one of the oldest in the game and has been played by legends of the sport. The Swilcan Bridge and Hell Bunker are also two of the toughest obstacles in the sport.

The Stadium Course

The Stadium Course, located in Florida, USA, is always listed as one of the best courses in the world, with the 17th island green famous for how tricky it can be. This 17th hole is the shortest of the course, but players are only ever one slight miss-hit from landing in the water and slumping down to a double bogey.

Royal County Down Golf Club

Northern Ireland has a long affinity with the sport of golf and playing games there is always dramatic because of the harsh winds and unforgiving landscape. The Royal County Down Golf Club is always a go-to destination for golf lovers visiting Northern Ireland. The course is situated in the mountains and is easily one of the best 100 courses in the world and certainly within Northern Ireland.

Dubai Creek

Dubai Creek is one of the newest courses, opening in the early 90s, but has been billed as one of the best courses in the world today. Although the history isn’t quite here yet, the high-quality course is in keeping with Dubai’s reputation for luxury and quality.
