Some believe golf has origins as far back as the 15th century. In the ensuing years, athletes have perfected golf into the game fans know and love today, and many beautiful courses have been built to allow players to enjoy their preferred hobby in scenic locations. The following three historic courses are considered to be among the most iconic.
1. Augusta National Golf Club. Located in the state of Georgia in the U.S., the Augusta National Golf Club opened in 1933. Augusta National is the site of the first invitation-only tournament, which the world knows today as the Masters. It was co-designed by golf legend Bobby Jones and famed architect Alister MacKenzie.
2. Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Established in Australia, the Royal Melbourne Golf Club is known as “the best golf club south of the equator.” It is designed around three distinct natural features, with six holes located within a densely wooded area featuring oak trees, six holes located on land surrounding a collection of ponds noted for their abundance of wildlife, and six holes situated in an area characterized by prairie-wetlands.
3. St. Andrews. The Scottish course known as St. Andrews is arguably the most historic course in the world. Historians believe golf has been played there for 600 years, and the course brands itself as “the home of golf.”
