10 Best Golf Courses In The World

6. Sawgrass

Given its status as the home of the PGA Tour headquarters and the Players Championship, we have to include a course such as Sawgrass which also possesses one of the most iconic holes in the sport.

Only once in the last nine years as the Players Championships been won by more than two shots, highlighting that this is a challenge to any golfer and that it is difficult to execute a sustained run that will separate anyone from the rest of the field.

The penultimate hole has also been known to shatter dreams. There are just 137 yards from tee to pin but it is a distance fraught with danger, especially when the hole is placed in close proximity to the surrounding water on its island green.

In general, the course offers a test of judgement to every player, whether that's with the opening drive or a concluding putt. The course has undergone slight amendments over the years but it still ranks highly with many professionals.
