<p>Anaheim, California is well known for sunshine and fun times. A visit to Anaheim is magical and adventurous. There are many things to do and many excellent places to stay while visiting Anaheim. Anaheim is most well known for Disney resort. However, people do not know that there are many other fun things to do in the Anaheim area.</p>
<p>Disneyland Park: No visit to Southern California is complete without stopping by the magical kingdom of Disneyland. This magical place has been making dreams come true for both kids and adults. It&#8217;s open 365 days out of the year and located within Disneyland Resort. The park is divided into eight lands with various themes like Tomorrowland, Mickey&#8217;s Toon Town, Fantasyland and Critter Country.<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/football.html"> </a></p>
<p>Disney California Adventure: This 67-acre theme park is also located within the Disneyland Resort. It&#8217;s divided into a variety of themed districts like Hollywoodland, The Golden State, Paradise Pier and &#8220;a bug&#8217;s land&#8221;. Disney California Adventure Park brings to life the stories and characters you love and remember in this fun-filled and exciting adventurous theme park. </p>
<p>If you have already visited Disneyland, then consider visiting Downtown Disney. Downtown Disney combines all of the best of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/mystery-shopper.html">shopping</a>, dining, and entertainment into a distinctively Disney flair. Shops, movie theaters, restaurants, and outdoor entertainment dot the landscape. There is no charge to enter downtown Disney and you and your family will find something for everyone. </p>
<p>If Disneyland, Downtown Disney or other events need a nigh off, then consider the House of Blues in Anaheim. The House of Blues is one of the most renown music clubs in the United States. With venues all over the country, the House of Blues is famous for its great music, great dancing, and the ability to have your stress melt off as the night just gets going. The House of Blues is not just great music, but great food too. The menu features great chef-inspired creations, and many culinary delights that will satisfy any pallet. </p>
<p>There are many great hotels in Anaheim. Harbor Boulevard is home to many of the <a href="http://anainn.com">Anaheim hotels</a>. The Carousel Inn and Suites is located very near the Disney Resort entrance on Harbor Boulevard. There is the Fairfield just down the street from the Carousel. Both are Disney&#8217;s Good Neighbor hotels. For the traveler on a budget, just down the street from Disneyland there is a Super 8 Motel. For those on an even tighter budget there&#8217;s a Motel 6 on Katella not too far from the Disney Resort. For visitors who wish to stay on the Disney property, there are three elegant Disney Resort Hotels. Anaheim California is a beautiful place to visit. There are many fun things to do, delicious places to eat and elegant places to stay. It is well worth a visit to Anaheim.</p>

<p>The Dominican Republic is well recognized and regarded as a vacationer&#8217;s paradise, and rightly so &#8211; the sun, sand and surf, tropical temperatures, beautiful scenery and sunsets all support this opinion. But what many travelers might likely not be aware of is that it also the owner of another distinction &#8211; it is considered a golfers paradise. The obvious part about golfing in Punta Cana would be, of course, the weather. But the actual golf courses themselves are some of the best on offer anywhere to an enthusiast, the fact that you&#8217;re in the Dominican Republic just makes it that much better.</p>
<p>Long considered to be one of the West&#8217;s poorest nations, the Dominican Republic, or &#8220;D.R.&#8221;, as it&#8217;s known, has become a much respected golf destination. Development on the island&#8217;s eastern coast has expanded significantly; these new construction and tourism ventures are expected to only increase and reinforce the regions reputation as one of the world&#8217;s finest vacation destinations. A part of this reputation will come from the golf courses in the area.</p>
<p>Punta Cana and the adjacent Cabeza de Toro are now home to multiple resorts and golf courses. The Punta Cana area boasts the Catalonia Caribe Club, Catalonia Cabeza de Toro, and the newly opened Tom Fazio designed private course at Corrales.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most reputable, or famous, of the golf courses in the area is the La Cana Golf Course. The green is located on the grounds of the Punta Cana Resort and Club and its length runs alongside the ocean which provides for some absolutely spectacular views as there are four holes directly on the ocean and stunning ocean views on the 14th and 18th holes. If you are there at sunrise or playing through your final couple of holes at sunset (*Tip: bring your camera!) you&#8217;ll experience incredible natural beauty seldom seen elsewhere. The course was designed by P.B. Dye, who has seen to it to implement many of his famous signature touches, such as pot bunkers guarding the approaches to the green. The course concludes with a lengthy par five on the ocean on the 18th hole. According to some, this easily rivals, if not surpasses, the world famous 18th hole at Pebble Beach.</p>
<p>Punta Cana continues to surprise and impress with the selection of golfing choices available and it only improves and gets better with every subsequent new course that opens to the public. With many more courses and resorts under construction, golfing in Punta Cana won&#8217;t remain a secret much longer. Book your vacation and hit the links now!</p>

<p>You are a decent golfer but you suspect that there&#39;s much you can do to improve yourself. It is true, there is always more guidance you can sort through and try out for yourself. Follow the guidance in this article and you must hopefully see an upgrading in your game.</p>
<p>A beneficial tip when it comes to playing golf is to make sure that you mostly keep an eye fixed on your golf clubs while at the course. This is critical due to the price of many clubs, someone else probably already has their eye on them and might take them at their first chance.</p>
<p>A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to not necessarily think the hype when it comes to new clubs or balls. This is vital because golfing is already dear as it is and the benefit from certain products might not match the cost. Companies are constantly looking for new ways to sell you the exact same product.</p>
<p>A useful tip when it comes to golf is to be certain that you have good suppleness. This is crucial both to be sure that you do not injure yourself on the course, but additionally to make sure that your shot is as fluid and potent as practical. More on this at the <a href="http://perfectgolfswingtips.net/">golf swing</a> tips section.</p>
<p>You don&#39;t actually need a golf ball to practice a golfing swing, so don&#39;t forget to swing away wherever you find a tiny bit of room. You&#39;ll get good if you&#39;re employed on keeping the perfect form and making sure you follow through the proper way. You can do this in the rear yard or perhaps in the living room. Simply do not break the TV!</p>
<p>Before you take your shot flex your knees a bit. Keeping your knees bent will permit you to form equilibrium with the ground as it&#39;ll supply a more comfortable base to drive thru the ball. Keep your feet shoulder width apart with your knees bent to elevate the standard of your swing.</p>
<p>Shots that push out to the right are typically the result of your body sliding to the left during your swing. During your downswing, try and target getting your hands released to the ball more quickly. Having the ability to regularly release your hands faster will perform wonders for the precision of your shot.</p>
<p>In conclusion, you believe your golfing game could use some work. It&#39;s a sport that needs tweaking and constant attention to detail. Use the tips supplied here in this piece and you need to put yourself in a much better position to do well on the course.</p>

<p>Golf is a really popular pastime which has been enjoyed by both males and females for years. Though the bona-fide origin of golf is up for argument, currently its normally accepted that the original golf rounds were definitely held in Scotland. Because of its rising worldwide recognition, selecting a golf course is actually a little frightening. Follow this advice to help you find a tough golf course to suit your own personal capability.</p>
<p>Looking for that course to play while you are on vacation or searching for a local course/country club to pass the time on a regular basis the first thing you ought to bear in mind will be the difficulty for the course. Check into the handicap for every hole. The actual course maps ought to point out the handicap for each hole as well as the yardage from the tee box to the pin. These are definitely tremendous signs to the difficulty of the course.</p>
<p>When looking all over the course, take notice of the amount of hazards you&#8217;ll find on your golf course. If it turns out there are a variety of water hazards or sand traps, a new golfer may wish to select a different course. Any of these hazards are difficult to get around and can be very disheartening. This is one of those times in your life when you won&#8217;t want to end up being at the beach.</p>
<p>Remain price conscious. Nothing can ruin a day of golfing more than feeling like it had not been worth it financially ( it is possible having a awful round is worse, but you get the idea). That number is different for everyone. Certain rounds of golf can be as high as $500. For some, that number is just too high. For anybody with limited funds, think about a public golf course, or one that&#8217;s merely nine holes.</p>
<p>Evaluate the grounds. Some golf courses have a totally equipped eatery around the turn as well as 2 circling beverage carts to satisfy your expectations on the front and back nine. Different courses have a snack machine and public water fountains. Depending on your needs and expectations, you might want to give consideration to your desire for drinks while playing.</p>
<p>Look around and investigate design. A number of the best golf courses worldwide look like they&#8217;re carved out of the surroundings. With tee boxes over looking the Ocean along with pounding surf as a background, a couple of golf courses resemble something from a movie. Part of the fantastic selling point of the game of golf will be the time spent outside. Experiencing an inspiring view will most likely not improve your swing, having said that it may improve the over-all experience.</p>
<p>Talk to people young and old in the region that have played the course. You can always get better info from people that have played the course. Using the internet and course literature can only let you know so much. For those who are considering a country club membership, ask for a tour of the golf course and to enjoy a round.</p>
<p>Golf is surely an international past time and it has been for quit some time. These days, playing golf is so respected, that you have different choices for anybody from novices to professionals. Finding the best course for yourself is an easy task.</p>

<p>Remember way back in the day when golf was exclusively for the rich and privileged? Isn&#8217;t that hilarious? I know more guys who make $25 grand a year who play golf now than I ever knew of rich folks in private clubs. I&#8217;m not sure when the transition happened and when the average Joe took over the game from the snobby rich, but I&#8217;m happy that it happened. I&#8217;ve been a devoted golfer for years, and I&#8217;m finally glad to have people to play with! I&#8217;m also glad that dress codes aren&#8217;t so important anymore, because I love to wear my funny golf t-shirts.</p>
<p>One of the best funny golf t-shirts that I own is my shirt that reads,<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/football.html"> </a>&#8220;It&#8217;s a gimmie&#8230;but PUT IT OUT!&#8221; I am a pretty outstanding driver. Working in a factory all of your life tends to give you a pretty good core set of muscles, and my form is pretty good too. When it comes to putting&#8230;forget about it. My handicap thrives on &#8220;gimmies&#8221;, and if my buddies didn&#8217;t allow them I&#8217;d be terrible on paper. I understand that means I&#8217;m terrible in reality too, but let me lie to myself, okay?</p>
<p>The second-favorite of my funny golf t-shirts is an ode to my golfing hero. No, it doesn&#8217;t have Tiger Woods or Jack Nicholson on it. As a matter of fact, my golf hero isn&#8217;t even real. Chevy Chase&#8217;s character from &#8220;Caddyshack&#8221; has to be the coolest golf player ever to hit a ball. Ty Webb was everything I want to be as a golfer, and my t-shirt that has his face on it is one of the best shirts ever made.</p>
<p>My third favorite of my funny golf t-shirts reads &#8220;Get A Grip&#8221; and features several bent and broken golf clubs. I am notorious for destroying more clubs than I can afford to replace. I am not terrible at slicing my ball, but when it happens&#8230;boy, do I get mad. There was even one time when I borrowed a set of clubs and broke two of them in a fit of rage. My friend that I borrowed them from wasn&#8217;t happy, but I replaced those clubs immediately. He bought me this t-shirt to remind me to take it easy on the clubs.</p>
<p>I admit that I&#8217;m not going to be the most squared-away dude you&#8217;ll ever meet. Even my golf game isn&#8217;t anything to brag about, mostly because I&#8217;m drunk and I&#8217;m only playing for fun. I get mad on the course every once in a while, but that&#8217;s to be expected when you slice your ball deep into the woods. All I know is that I&#8217;m glad that golf is in a place where it is today where I can wear these funny golf t-shirts, have fun with my bros, and play a great 18 holes.</p>

<p>The active adult neighborhood, Sun City Texas, includes a large number of residents who are veterans of America&#8217;s wars. It truly is fitting that a Veterans&#8217; memorial be erected and located in Sun City.</p>
<p>The Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial located in Sun City was the concept in 2002 of Sun City resident and retired Navy Commander, Robert Kelety. His thoughts for a memorial were to honor those men and women who have served or are serving in our military forces. The developer, Pulte Homes/Del Webb, approved the concept of the memorial with the stipulation that it was to be fully funded prior to construction.</p>
<p>By means of the efforts of a grass-roots group of concerned veterans&#8211;later to be referred to as the Veterans Memorial Advisory Group (VMAG)&#8211;the monetary fund drive commenced. Inside 1 year, the group had raised adequate capital and building began.</p>
<p>A Sun City resident designed the 82-foot limestone memorial wall structure. He likewise included the 16-foot memorial wall commemorating the 170-plus military service members from Williamson County who gave their lives in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam conflict and the War on Terrorism.</p>
<p>The flags of the United States of America and Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine fly over the memorial. These flags are lighted and fly 24 hours-a-day. The memorial also recognizes our POW&#8217;s who endured horrific mental and physical hardships during these conflicts.</p>
<p>Currently, the plaza possesses approximately twenty-seven hundred engraved bricks with the names of veterans from throughout the USA. There are customized bricks commemorating military campaigns along with all 50 states and U.S. territorial possessions. The plaza is made to accommodate many other personalized bricks for anybody wanting to acknowledge a veteran or unit.</p>
<p>The plaza was constructed by the Sun City Community Association at no cost to the Community Association, its residents, the City of Georgetown or Williamson County. Capital for the venture originated from the sales of engraved bricks at $75 each and additionally from primary sponsors (local companies and organizations from the Georgetown and Williamson County region). Residual cash and continuing brick profits are available in a reserve account entirely for upkeep and upgrading of the memorial.</p>
<p>Initially, two trees were planted in the plaza to recognize the service of 2 unique individuals. SFC Nathan Chapman was seen as the first U.S. service member slain during the war in Afghanistan. The 2nd tree honors Oliver Walcott, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who served while in the Revolutionary Army.</p>
<p>The Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial Plaza was officially dedicated on May 26, 2003. Patriotic ceremonies are typically scheduled yearly on Memorial and Veterans Day as well as other appropriate opportunities.</p>
<p>Accessible to the general public, the yearly Memorial Day Ceremony is in memory of the women and men who&#8217;ve served or maybe are serving in our armed forces. Each year a distinguished dignitary is guest public speaker at the Veterans Memorial Plaza. The 36th Infantry Division Band of the Texas Army National Guard performs favorite music. Wreaths are laid at both the Memorial Wall and also the Williamson County Memorial Wall to recognize all those who have stepped forward to protect our liberty followed by a reception on the Social Center patio and garden soon after the ceremony.</p>
<p>You can visit the Memorial any time since it is open to everyone. It&#8217;s a really beautiful tribute to our service men and women. Oh, and keep in mind the service <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/dog-training.html">dogs</a> that serve alongside our service women and men and help locate explosives, work diligently in search and rescue, and help rehabilitate service men and women returning home suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Display your American flag with pride on Memorial Day and help support &#8220;Dog Bless You&#8221; in the non-profit organization&#8217;s hard work to help our members of the military. For each and every 5,000 &#8220;Likes&#8221; on Facebook, they will gift a dog to a soldier living with PTSD. Support a returning soldier each and every day of the year with the unconditional love and devotion of a service dog!</p>

<p>I was at my local golfing spot at the park last week, and something very profound dawned on me as I stood there at the tee with my driver in hand. This course is full of people, most of them wearing funny golf t-shirts like me, and none of them even close to be considered &#8220;rich&#8221; or &#8220;well off&#8221;. The sport of golf was finally popular amongst more regular folks than people holed up in some private clubhouse, gloating to each other about how the only poor people around were the waiters. Golf is an everyman&#8217;s game, and I&#8217;m proud that this day has finally arrived.</p>
<p>For years upon years as a shaved numbers off of my handicap and grew ever-more in love with the game of golf, I realized that I was really jealous of the private clubbers who got to play on immaculate courses that were tended by professionals every day. Even if I took off my funny golf t-shirts and put on their polo shirts, I would still never be welcomed in a place like that. This was definitely a case of the grass being greener on the other side&#8230;literally. What I didn&#8217;t know until recently, is that I&#8217;m perfectly content with the courses available to me.</p>
<p>Since the beginning roots of the game in Scotland, people have taken golf way too seriously. I love winning just like anyone else, and I am constantly trying to improve my game. Just because I&#8217;m wearing funny golf t-shirts doesn&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;m not a true fan of the sport. However, I really need you guys who obsess over every tiny aspect of the game to just stop. How are you going to have any fun at all? Laugh a little when you sink your ball into the sand trap. Who cares? Laugh it off, and enjoy the rest of your day!</p>
<p>There are lots of the upper class courses that seriously frown on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/alcoholism.html">drinking</a> on the course. I understand that they don&#8217;t want beer cans strewn all over their well-maintained green. I also understand that golfing is done in a seriously open area during the middle of the day where everyone can see you drop beer cans. If someone is being a rude litterer who has no concept of decency on the course, then they will be confronted pretty quickly. Trust me, I&#8217;ve seen some of my friends go after some jerks on the fairway for just such an offense, which looks pretty funny when you consider that they&#8217;re wearing funny golf t-shirts while they do it.</p>
<p>Even if a course has dress codes, you can still have a lot of fun with your funny golf t-shirts. Most courses only require that you not wear shorts or jeans. That leaves plenty of wiggle room for your funny golf t-shirts. Whatever you need to do, just make sure you have plenty of fun. If you&#8217;re not having a great time, then you&#8217;re not playing golf the right way. If you find yourself angry, unhappy, irate, or sad at a golf course&#8230;then you&#8217;re probably playing at a country club without realizing it.</p>

<div style='font-style:italic' class='golfbyline'>by William M.<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/football.html"> </a> Shea</div>
<p>Golf is a popular sporting activity that&#8217;s been played by women and men for years. Although the true beginning of playing golf is up for argument, it is most frequently agreed on that the earliest golf rounds were actually held in Scotland. Because of its lasting global recognition, picking a golf course might be a bit challenging. Here are some tips which may help you find a tough golf course that suits your current abilities.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re searching for that course to relax and play while you are vacationing or searching for a local course to experience daily, the first thing you want to look into is the difficulty for the golf course. Check into the handicap, slope and rating. Even if you don&#8217;t know what the mean keep in mind that the higher the number the harder the course. The exact course maps ought to display the handicap for each and every hole plus the yardage from the tee box into the pin. They are terrific signs to the difficulty of the course.</p>
<p>When looking over the course, take notice of the number of hazards you will discover on it. Provided there are tons of water hazards or sand traps, a totally new player may want to select a totally different golf course to play. Many of these hazards are hard to stay away from and can be extremely frustrating. Golf is one of the times in life when you won&#8217;t want to end up being on the beach.</p>
<p>Always be price conscious. Absolutely nothing can wreck a day of golfing much more than sensing like it had not been worth it financially. Possible playing a terrible round is worse, but you get the idea. The number differs for every individual. Certain rounds of golf can get as high as three hundred dollars. For many, that number is simply too excessive. If you are on a tight budget, give some thought to a public golf course, or one which is only 9 holes. There are certainly plenty of nice courses around the country that aren&#8217;t more than thirty of forty dollars.</p>
<p>Think about the grounds. A lot of golf courses have a nice completely equipped eatery around the turn as well as two circling beverage carts to suit your preferences over the front and back 9. Other courses contain a vending machine and community water <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/alcoholism.html">drinking</a> fountains. Determined by your needs and expectations, you might like to take into consideration the desire for refreshments while playing.</p>
<p>Browse around and investigate the layout. Many of the highly regarded courses across the globe look like they&#8217;re carved out of the earth. Having tee boxes over looking the Pacific, together with pounding surf as a background, a lot of courses appear to be something out of a picture. Part of the wonderful benefit of golfing will be the time spent outdoors. Finding an inspiring view might not improve your swing, but it may improve the general golf round.</p>
<p>Talk with women and men in the region that have played the golf course. You can always get better information from people who have played the golf course. Using the internet and golf course booklets are only able to let you know so much. If you&#8217;re entertaining the idea of a country club membership, ask for a tour of the golf course or even to play a round.</p>
<p>Playing golf is surely an international past time and has been for decades. In the present day, golf is so respected, that there are a lot of options for anybody from newbies to professionals. Finding the right course to suit your needs is an easy task when you know what to look for.</p>

<p>What does a golfer look for in a course? The typical golfer will often look for a course that will take him/her to the limit. There&#8217;s no better achievement in defeating yourself and getting through the challenge golf offers you. A course that offers fair <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/online-degree.html">degree</a> of difficulty coupled with breath taking scenery is heavenly for players. Public courses that are used for tournaments are also a good experience for the average player, they also get to face what the pros deal with. After searching high and low, here are some of the top courses that a player can go to. There&#8217;s a whole lot of courses out there, but these golf courses offer the best of the best.</p>
<p>The Old Course, St. Andrews Links: For being around for almost 6 centuries, who wouldn&#8217;t agree that this course is &#8220;The Home of Golf&#8221;?<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://golfarticles.org/l/football.html"> </a> The game has been played on this course since 1400 A.D. And is the largest golfing complex in Europe. Fairways maintained for centuries, the scenery and the challenge taunting you as early as the first hole will make sure that this is an unforgettable experience. The images seen or videos shown online or in television may deceive you. The ground looks flat but when actually on the course, the grounds are humped and the bunkers are deeper thus the challenge is all over you. Located at Scotland, you can book in advance by ballots. If you want to feel what golf really is about, this might be right for you. </p>
<p>Murfield: This is certainly the course of The Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers &#8211; The oldest group in golf. The style of the course is purely a masterpiece, and it has been that way since 1891. If that history isn&#8217;t ample, the club was also linked to writing the original rules of golf way back in 1744. This course was designed with holes organized in a circular fashion which need the golfers to always adjust with the wind directions. There are times that a player should stop and admire the spectacular view this course has &#8211; the trees, the sea view, and the trees near it. The eye-catching landscape is just a glimpse of what this course actually offer to the players. Bunkers are all around and the greens are small that is extremely challenging for the golf player when it comes to accuracy. </p>
<p>Oakmond Country Club: If you get yourself to play in this course, expect an experience that&#8217;s un forgettable. 210 deep bunkers and greens that slope away await the golfer, and it will be challenging as every shot must be carefully done. One wasted shot and you might end up on its deep bunkers. The fairways are tight, so accuracy will be the key. This course also cradles a long history, which stretches as far as 1903. This course is perhaps one of the hardest to play on, as bunkers can be seen left and right.</p>
<p>Royal Birkdale (The Birkdale): This course is a top ranker in England, with the spectacular scenery and the great golf holes. The fairways are designed in such a way that the ball will rarely go off course. A nice club house, kind staff and a well-stocked golf shop is just a tip of the course&#8217;s iceberg. But be ready to have a good punch at your pockets as the experience may be expensive. However, the challenge the course offers will make sure that the money will be well-spent. The wind Birkdale has is really an evil force to deal with, but the challenge will push the golfer to the limits. A good bang for the buck.</p>
<p>Shinnecock Hills: This course has hosted four US opens and is a very rough course to play on which was built in 1891 and remodelled during the 1930&#8217;s. The holes may start out very easy to make shots with, but it will progressively become difficult and quite deceiving. The hole will demand that the golfer will learn to adapt and play employing astounding skills. The 300-acre course has a clubhouse that is located at their highest point, hence giving a good view to the place. this golf course swanks of winds from the Atlantic, the sandy terrain, and the grasses that border the fairways. Aftergame cocktails could be availed by the club members aside from the game experience they receive.  </p>
<p>Turnberry (Ailsa Course), Scotland: The Turnberry Golf Club was established in 1902, then the Turnberry Hotel in 1906 that connects to the local railway station. When it was utilized in the Two World Wars, this course was almost ruined but it was reopened in 1951 following substantial repairwork. The lack of dunes on the holes close to the sea coast that make a perfect test for the golfer makes this course very unique. It has hosted 4 Opens and continues to be a favorite. The view of the British Isles is just a taste of the entire game experience, besides being on exactly the same holes Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus fought on!  </p>
<p>Royal County Down Golf Club: Having one of the best front nines among the world&#8217;s courses, this is worth the trip. Located in Northern Ireland, it rests nicely at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and is welcomes the player with a magnificent view of the Bay of Dundrum. With its pristine conditions for a challenging game, this course suprinsingly haven&#8217;t hosted a single Open. The course may give you the eye candy, but can also give major pain in your game, as the winds are unpredictable. The strength of the winds can topple a trolley, bend the ball flight and bend the flagstick. The difficulty of the course will challenge a golfer to the limit, not only because of the winds but also with its number of blind drives as well. The challenge it offers simply deserve a spot in the top ten of the world.</p>
<p>Augusta National Golf Club: Being the host to the annual Masters, this dream course is found in a dream-like setting, and even getting to play here is also dream-like too. The remarkably exclusive status of the club lives up to its reputation, even the green fees and its list of members are not available to the public. The fame of the course is well known worldwide, even having other courses attempting to replicate their design. Designed by Bobby Jones and Alister Mackenzie, anyone can easily say that it is the ideal duo that designed a perfect course. Normally, changes are carried out to one or two holes of the course to provide a variety to the playing experience every after concluded Masters. No surprise that it gets closed every 6 months and not anyone can simply list up and get to play the tee. The scenery of the course just comes next to its good reputation, playing experience, and exclusive status. A chance to play on this course is a chance not worth turning down.  </p>
<p>Cypress Point, USA: This golf course has surely the largest water hazard of all which is the Pacific Ocean on the third tee. It is a longshot to even get the chance to play on this course that even the late J. F. Kennedy was declined entry to the restaurant and it has only a few members such as politicians, actors, and corporate giants. The course still saves it historical traditions, being a walking-only course, no yardage markers and even the lockers could make you feel that it&#8217;s still 1920. The parking lot isn&#8217;t even more than 15 stalls, and doesn&#8217;t get that much players in a single day. It is really an advantage for the course to have not so many players as it will help the course to be kept pristine in its condition and one of greens that is so smooth without bumps, ball marks, nematode patches, or sand from nearby bunkers. If given the opportunity to play on it, it is simply one of the greatest courses of the world. </p>
<p>Pine Valley, USA: This was a brain child of Philadelphian hotelier George Crump, who deceased a year prior to when the course&#8217;s completion. It launched on 1919 and players had a tough time accomplishing the course in 70 strokes, quickly gaining the standing as the ultimate golf challenge. Each hole mocks you with a different challenge, with one bunker 10 feet deep. Missing the green will mean a lot, with there being sloping greens and the holes are wrapped in pine covered heath &#8211; not the perfect area where the ball to land on. It can be a massive pain the moment you get a mistake in your shot. Having the chance to play in this magnificent course is horribly rare, so don&#8217;t refuse an invite. There&#8217;s never a course visually inviting and as challenging as Pine Valley. It greatly justifies why golfers rank this as No. 1. </p>
<p>Surely, there are other courses out there that doesn&#8217;t require a membership. However, being able to experience the real challenges of golf lies in these courses, so don&#8217;t let an oppurtunity to play in these courses pass by.</p>
