The best golf courses in the world
2. Pine Valley
New Jersey, USA
Hotelier George Crump and Harry Colt can take the bulk of the credit – though many more great architects were involved to a lesser degree –for what is commonly acknowledged as America’s finest layout. It’s about to celebrate its centenary in 2018. Pine Valley is uniquely bunkered and it sometimes seems there is more sand than grass. Every last hole is a masterpiece, separate and distinct from the one that precedes and follows it.
