Do you ever wonder what makes golf courses popular? Is it because of the world ranking pro golfers that tee off the greens or is the degree of difficulty of these courses that brings the best in every golfer? Is it made famous by the natural scenery that makes golfing more enjoyable? Or is it because professional tournaments are always held in these country clubs? If you ask some of the renowned golf developers in the world, they would surely say that their creations are the best in the world. But is there a way for us to know which greens are more famous than others? And do these famous golf courses can also be considered as the best in the world?
For those that are not really familiar with the elite sport, there’s no telling whether a certain golf course is different from others. For them, every green is one and the same. Yet even novice golfers would know the difference. The following are some of the well known golf courses that are famous for a lot of reasons.
When people talk of golf destinations, Arkansas is always included in their discussion. The serene ambience and majestic beauty of the Natural State are simply the main factors why golf enthusiasts troop to Arkansas. They say the state’s natural beauty—a combination of hardwood forests, mountain lakes and water streams, and gentle rolling hills—complement the state’s numerous championship courses. These include The Legend at Arrowhead, Palm Valley, Scottsdale Silverado, Scottsdale C.C., and Pavilion Lakes, among others. And if the names of the famous designers like Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Edmund Ault were any indication, Arkansas’ golf courses naturally incorporated the sceneries of the state.
The search for the famous golf courses also takes us to Augusta, Georgia. Here is where Augusta National draws hordes of golf players every year since its opening in 1933, all eager to try its par 72 greens. Don’t be deceived by its seemingly easy first nine holes, because the game really starts on the 10th hole. This is where the fun begins. A lot of golf aficionados even consider the course as the world’s best known course because of the challenge it brings.
They say golf courses are only as good as the designers who created it. These words can only be the truth. In California, there is one golf course that was made famous by the creative genius of one man. Who would have thought that such beauty as The Pebble Beach in the Monterey Peninsula. Jack Neville is not really known in the golfing world. But The Pebble Beach proved to be a masterpiece that would bring his name to greater stature. Everyone was in awe seeing what he had done on that once desolate piece of property. Neville, being the humble man that he is, attributes the success of the country club to the natural landscape. According to him, all he had to do was to “put holes on the greens”.
Of course, there are other famous golf courses out there. And the ones included here are just the tip of the iceberg. What’s certain is that there will be more, as golf landscapers will always be there to turn every isolated piece of land into a golf destination.
