Many golf players love to travel from one course to another, as you can always experience something new with a different ground. There are far too many great golf courses around the world, and it is hard to come up with the best one or two just because there can be various views. For me, I am always attracted to a course which is rich in historical background, equipped with world class facilities, surrounded by breath-taking scenery, and is rising in popularity.
I am about to share with you two of the golf courses which won my top votes. I do not simply like them for the sake of golfing fun, but also for the extra features which bring about extra enjoyment.
1. The Eagle Point Golf Club
Situated in the eastern part of North Carolina, this par-72 gold club has lots of loyal customers. With its vast area of green land, you can choose to walk as you go through different holes. The club’s caddie service has received plenty of positive comments, and you also get to enjoy tennis and swimming in addition to golfing.
There are more than 7,000 yards of golfing grounds, with a 74.5 rating and replete with 137 slopes for golf players to test their mettle. What adds to the challenge for players is the prevailing wind from the Atlantic Ocean. At the first glance, the club looks traditional, but it is filled with top rated facilities. There is even a high-tech learning center for those who would like to further their golfing skills. These, together with the town’s unbeatable year-round weather and the great private retreat for golfers and their families, make the Eagle Point Club one of the best golf destinations country wide.
2. The Concession In Florida
This club was created by two legendary golfers – Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin. Since its opening in 2006, the club keeps being featured in the best golf course list by a number of well-known publications such as the Golfweek.
The name was derived from what transpired in 1969 when Nicklaus yielded a three-foot putt. That act of sportsmanship was all the British team (led by Jacklin) needed to tie with the Americans. While the Americans eventually won in the tournament, the act was forever etched in the annals of the sporting world. Decades after, the golf legends have worked on a 1,200-acre property that is free from housing developments. The par-72 Concession (7,470 yards, with 155 slopes and 77.6 rating) may be hard to conquer for its landscape angles and fairway bunkers. But this makes it one of the best golf courses-it’s challenging, yet enjoyable. And if you need some tips, just ask pro Jimmy Wright at the practice range.
