The mission of Where2Golf.com
The golf course guide which we have compiled at Where2Golf.com contains the knowledge-base and impressions accumulated by two much-travelled golfers. Our aim is to help the travelling golfer find the best.
Where2Golf started over 20 years ago, and has steadily grown to now include details of the world’s 5,000 top courses (public, private and resort). We have played 1,500 of the courses featured, and made a full 18-hole cart tour of a further 1,000. Based on our coverage and knowledge base, we've been adopted by Today’s Golfer as panel members for the Golf World course rankings (GB&I and Contl Europe).
The golf course reviews with ratings showcase the golf courses that we consider to be the best. Where2golf.com is not exhaustive and some golfers will no doubt be disappointed not to find a review of a course they consider to be a personal favourite. However, this unique guide represents a wide and rich selection of courses that travelling golfers from around the world would be very interested to play.
Our “Search by Maps” feature (homepage) is always popular, and takes readers to a feature page for each course.
Complementing our course details, there are substantial sections on golf Tournaments (majors, top tours, team events, etc), a Who’s Who section (c.850 of the great and good), and a Dictionary section. We don’t include sections on Equipment or Instruction.
We have sought out and played what most golfers would describe as the “best” golf courses in the following locations:
AMERICAS:
USA: 25 States
Canada: Atlantic; British Columbia and Alberta, Ontario, Prairie Provinces, Quebec
Caribbean Islands
EUROPE:
Continental Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland
ASIA:
China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand
AFRICA:
South Africa and Mauritius
Middle East: Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates
OCEANIA:
Australia, Fiji, French Polynesia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea

Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
