The most spectacular courses in the British Isles
8. Castletown
Isle of Man
It sometimes seems that this golf course is an island – the sea appears to extend in all directions. There are several highlights on this unusual blend of clifftop, links and moorland but none more so than the 5th, a cape hole that swings from left to right, and the 17th, where you must drive over the rocks and sea below to find the fairway.
