New and Improved
Here is a look at some of the new additions to the Top 100 Courses in the U.S. and the World.
NANEA#44 in the U.S.#76 in the World
Our top new American course is an
ultra-private enclave on the Big Island
of Hawaii, just up-mountain from the
Four Seasons Resort in Kailua-Kona.
Bandon Dunes architect David McLay
Kidd etched a links-style layout from
the side of a mountain atop volcanic
lava. The result is a firm, fast track with
elevated views of the Pacific from
every hole. At 7,503 yards, par 73, it's
enough golf to test anyone, but the
real challenge is solving Kidd's pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later puzzles that
come in the form of ornery bunkers,
clever angles, significant slopes and
hard-to-read greens.
