10 Best Golf Courses in the World

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, in which competing players, using many types of clubs, attempt to hit balls into each hole on a golf course while employing the fewest number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game is played on golf "courses", each of which features a unique design, although courses typically consist of either nine or 18 holes.
Some of the 10 best golf courses in the world have hosted golf's biggest championships.These are:
1.Pine Valley, Pine Valley, New Jersey. This course is widely regarded as the best golf course in the world because of its collection of par three (considered the best in the world) and its well-designed layout.
2.Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, California. This golf course flanks the Monterey Peninsula and offers jaw-dropping ocean views on many of its holes, making it one of the best golf courses in the world.
3.Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, California. This golf course flanks the Monterey Peninsula and offers jaw-dropping ocean views on many of its holes, making it one of the best golf courses in the world.
