BEST
OF THE WORLD
From
the craggy coastline of California to the
legendary links of Scotland,
these are the clubs, resorts, courses, holes
and people that shape the game.

BEST LINKS COURSES
By
definition, they are built on land reclaimed
from the sea. Historically, they are public
access fields bridging town and strand,
and are sometimes used for grazing cattle.
Traditionally, the front nine follows the
shoreline away from the clubhouse while
the back, or inward, nine returns. By any
reading, our best links comprise a burnished
chain of the most challenging courses. |
