1. Cypress Point
Located: Del Monte Forest, California
Major Championships hosted: Walker Cup, Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Cypress Point is ranked #1 in the world and is right at the bottom of the Santa Lucia Mountains overlooking the beautiful ocean. Every golfer dreams of playing here, including myself. This golf course is so scenic, I would imagine its hard to focus on the actual round of golf you are playing
2. Pine Valley
Located: Pine Valley, New Jersey
Major Championships hosted: Walker Cup
Pine Valley is the #2 ranked golf course in the world. It was built in 1919 by a man named George Crump who sadly passed away one year before the golf course was set to be complete. Pine Valley is known for its tight fairways and packed hole structure. It is a very hard course but has some of the most beautiful scenery in golf. I would love to play there especially since it is closer to me. The only issue is that this course is private and you must be invited to come and play
3. Royal County Down
Located: Newcastle, Northern Ireland
Major Championship hosted: Walker Cup, Arnold Palmer Cup, Irish Open, and many more
Royal County Down is ranked #3 in the world. The reason for this is because it is such a well made course and the scenery is something that is so breath taking, I would think t would be every golfers dream to play a round there. This course is very challenging because it is very long yardage wise so it makes it extremely difficult to play, which is a great challenge for the pros. Personally, I would really like to play there, but I wouldn’t shoot a very good score just based on the fact that pros struggle at this course.
