So last week I talked about the golf courses I would like to play at in Michigan. That list is pretty realistic for me. Well, more realistic than my list of courses across the nation and world. There are so many amazing courses out there in the world. My list mainly consist of courses in the US, but I do have one outside of the country that I just dream of going to.
One of those is St Andrews Old Course. It is the oldest and probably one of the or the most prestigious golf course in the world. My life would probably be complete if I played there. The bridge right there in the picture to the right is well known across globe to every golfer. Its called the Swilcan Bridge and every golfer walks across this 700 year old bridge on the 18th hole to close the round off. This course has been around since 1400 they say. Its history and its a public course so I could play it whenever I take my spontaneous trips to Scotland. Ha jk..
Now the one that I have on my list for in the US are probably the most well known ones in the country. Augusta National is located in Augusta, Georgia and is one of the most famous courses in the nation and world. In 2009 it was ranked the number one golf course in America out of a hundred. It still remains in the top ten to this day. It opened up in 1933 and to me it is by far one of the best looking courses I have ever saw..on the computer and on TV that is. It is home to one of the major championships in the PGA, The Masters. It's been host to The Masters since 1934 and it won't ever change. Other than St Andrews this course is my second course I dream of going to. The only about this course is that it would probably be the hardest to ever play at. Since it's a private course, only members can play on it and to become a member you would have to pay a lot of money. The picture below is one of the iconic holes on the course called Amen Corner.
