Golf blogger Angela Harper has compiled a short list of a few of the best golf courses in the United States and has shared it with Golf for Beginners blog. In the opinion of GFB, these courses are not meant for beginners nor for the faint of heart. Do you agree?
Golf can be a wonderful game, ripe with precision and either tension or relaxation... depending on who you're playing with and the course you've decided to play. For the most part, even if you're a beginner, you should still start on a regular field where you'll be able to practice real swings instead of a typical mini golf course. You may believe a smaller course will be easier to master, however if you want to be really good as gold you will need to practice your swings at full force and in the exact conditions you were meant to play. Although the golf courses listed below are a few of the best courses to play in the USA, I recommend you play courses which are more forgiving, or from more forward tees allowing you to get the most out of your game.
1. Pacific Dunes in Bandon, Oregon
2. Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass
TPC Sawgrass 17th hole
3. Pebble Beach Golf Links

4. Spyglass Hill, California

ReplyDeleteMany people don’t understand why everyone loves to play golf. It is a great game enjoyed by both sexes, young and old. Aside from being an excellent exercise, golf continues to be a sport where ethics and integrity still matter.
ReplyDeleteWhistling Straits at Wisconsin, Spyglass Hill at California and the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass could be a number of golf courses are preferred by many golfers. They are amateurs, pros, and even the professionals can try these fields. I just realized, golf courses are distinguished according to the level of his or her own players. You can choose own levels of difficulties.

Some of these golf clubs are best for professionals like Spyglass Hill, California & Pebble Beach Golf Links. But there are some other well designed Country Club San Diego as well like The Farms Golf Club. It is specially designed for professional golfers.
ReplyDeleteIncluding these awesome golf clubs there are many other palm desert country clubs too that provide best customer service like La Quinta Country Club
ReplyDeleteI started off playing at a golf course in Vegas which was a great experience and still take some trips there today. I would recommend them for any stage golfer.
