Many golf players love to play in different courses, and they may tell you that each course provides a different experience. It is difficult to come up with a list of the best golf courses in the world, as different golfers obviously have different standards, not to mention there are far too many courses to choose from! If you ask me, I can tell you that I really like a course that is driven by a rich historical background, filled with world class facilities, surrounded by breath-taking scenery, and is rising in popularity.

Although it is difficult for all golf players to reach an agreement on the best course in the world, I still feel like to share with you two of my top favorites where you can play this wonderful game. I vote for them not just for the technical challenge they impose on golf players, but also for the extra features that adds to your golfing fun.

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.

This club has a coverage of 7,470 yards, with 155 slopes and 77.6 rating. This, coupled with its amazingly beautiful landscaping and fairway bunks, has made it a most challenging yet enjoyable golfing course for players. If you would like to know how its name derived, we need to look back to 1969 when Nicklaus yielded a three-foot putt. That act of sportsmanship was all needed by the British team (led by Jacklin) to tie with the Americans. Although the Americans were the winners of the tournament, the act was forever etched in the annals of the sporting world. Many years later, the two golf legends teamed up to develop a golf club on a 1,200-acre property, which is the Concession In Florida we get to enjoy today.
