Augusta National

» Opened: 1933
» Yardage: 6 925
» Par: 72
Not many people could tell you what the first nine holes look like. But from the 10th onwards Augusta National is by far the world's best known course. Every hole on the last nine has become etched on the retinas of keen golf followers.
Pebble Beach
» Monterey Peninsula, California, USA» Opened: 1919
» Yardage: 6 799
» Par: 72
Most great golf courses have been designed by acknowledged great architects. But there are exceptions. Pebble beach was also an amateur creation, but came from the creativity of one man, Jack Neville. In the later years, Neville said: "The golf course was there all the time. All I did was find the holes."
Oakmont

» Yardage: 6 921
» Par: 71
Oakmont, on the outskirts of Pittsburg, is arguably the most penal lay-out in America, with hard, slick greens, bunkers everywhere, narrow fairways with thick rough, and a length of almost 7 000 yards.
St Andrews, Old Course
» St Andrews, Fife, Scotland» Opened: Unknown
» Yardage: 6 933
» Par: 72
This is one of the world's oldest and most revered golf courses and is deservedly know as "the home of golf". It is a favorite course of many top professionals and amateurs, perhaps because it is by no means fearsome in still air but always demands good strategy and shot-making, though some of the first ten holes are easy in the extreme.
Sunningdale

» Yardage: 6 566
» Par: 72
Sunningdale, like its neighbour Wentworth, is a gorgeous course on the Surrey sand belt. Originally three farms surrounded by heather, gorse and pine trees, the land was owned by St John's College, Cambridge, who around the turn of the century were persuaded that the land should be turned into a golf course.
Wentworth
