Golf Special Edition: Ten most beautiful golf resorts (Part1)
Beauty is one of the blessings that mesmerizes the eyes. Be that a woman or a golf course, both carries one away with their breath-taking curves.
Here is a list of top ten courses, which are considered as the most beautiful in the world.
10- Canadian Rockies
The first on the list of top ten most beautiful courses is Banff Springs Golf Club, situated in the Canadian Rockies. Lying under the eyes of the majestic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, this golf resort is one of its kinds. For the ones who are interested
in seeing the venue by themselves, just imagine “Cullen’s place” in Full Moon. This course was designed by Stanley Thompson with a sum of $1 million in 1927.The best of part of this venue is the snow-capped mountains surrounding the course. Apart from this
course the resort holds Silvertip, Stewart Creek, Kananaskis, Canmore, and Jasper Park in its vicinity, which makes the Canadian Rockies worth a visit.
9-Whistling Straits
Next on the list is the magnificent Whistling Straits situated in Kohler, Wisconsin. This is the same venue, where the USPGA championship took place last month. Apart from being known as one of the toughest courses in the world, Whistling Straits is a course
which is not meant for the faint-heart people. Firstly, danger lurks on every shot and secondly, several holes are situated in spots near the Lake Michigan. The scenery is as terrific, and the golf spellbinding. This is the course which was in news few days
back, when Martin Kaymer claimed the Wanamaker Trophy.
8 - Half Moon Bay Golf Resort
Half Moon Bay is located in Half Moon Bay Golf Resort, which is one of the most beautiful resorts in California. This course is placed on points against the frolic cliffs of the Pacific Ocean and is only seconds away from San Francisco. Half Moon Bay Golf
resort is no doubt a complete package of 36 holes of pure championship golf with entertainment.
Another mesmerizing feature of the course is its design, a creation of Arnold Palmer. Arnold is known for his efficient use of land and his creative angles which make the players rush for water. One part of the resort is the Old Course which is an American
parkland-style layout, and the remaining part is the Ocean Course which is an Arthur Hills links land design that is renowned for its dramatic back nines standing above the Pacific. Moreover, there is a Moon Mullins Golf Academy for the amateurs who want to
straighten up their game. As for the non-golfers, there are amenities and accommodations at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, which again is a direct competitor of golf pleasure.
7 - Pinehurst Resort
Pinehurst is located in Pinehurst Resort, which is seventh on our list. This resort is under the proud ownership of sand hills of North Carolina. There are eight championship courses in its vicinity and all are designed by the genius, Donald Ross. As for
the courses, all have one thing common and that is the classic mounded greens, which not only serve the purpose of beauty but also challenge for the golfers. Pinehurst will be hosting the 2014 men’s and women’s U.S. Open in future, which means very soon we
will be reading course previews of this resort.
6 - Pebble Beach Golf Links
The sixth course on the list is the famous Pebble Beach, the same venue where Stewart Cink declared US open victory in 2010. According to an author Robert Louis Stevenson, this course is one of the best demonstrations of meetings of land and sea. For the
ones who fail to understand the meaning of this statement try imagining a green submerging into water. The word is simply amazing.
