Clarkes Golf announce the results of their study to rank all the top golf courses around the world. With plenty of people planning their 2023 activities, golf lovers won’t want to miss this!
The top 20 golf courses in the world
Clarkes Golf decided to rank 498 golf courses across the world for three key attributes to dictate whether they belong on your bucket list:
The Courses Followers
Gauged from looking at their Instagram account and jotting down the followers.
We decided that following a course on Instagram is as good as putting it on your to-do list. Otherwise, why would you put yourself through the heartbreak of seeing pictures of it every week if you never intend to go!
The Courses Interest
Gauged from looking at how many times that particular course is searched on Google.
We decided that in order to build up your bucket list, you’ll have to do the legwork and research the best courses. So it’s only natural that the one’s that are searched the most are the most desired!
The Courses Popularity
Gauged from looking at the traffic each golf courses’ website gets.
We decided that the amount of people visiting that website should be the final piece of the puzzle when it comes to building your dream list of golf courses. After all, how else are you going to book yourself a game!
Easiest Golf Courses in the World
Taken from looking at the best golf courses in the world, and then looking at which 18-holers have the lowest par.
It’s clear that Australia has a thing for the easier courses, featuring in 4 of the top 10 easiest courses around the world - with Glades Golf and Spa taking top position. Suppose you would want something nice, easy and relaxing for a spa.
The Hardest Golf Courses in the World
Taken exactly like the easiest courses, but in reverse, it’s clear that a par 73 is something of a benchmark for a difficult course.
However, Scotland’s Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers defies that tradition with a whopping par 76 for their course. That’s enough to turn anyone’s ginger locks white.
