USA. |

Bethpage (Black) |
| The Bethpage Black course really is as
difficult and penal as the high slope rating suggests.
It's not for the feint hearted. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
| |
Olympic Club
(Lake) |
| Host to four US Opens, the Lake course
at Olympic Club is a serious challenge. Take your stabilisers
and expect few level lies on these sloping fairways. |

Loch Lomond |

high road or the low road, a visit to the bonnie banks

than that of the last five holes at Portmarnock? said

>Royal Liverpool |
| Without doubt, Royal Liverpool is a tough
links. Only a couple of holes are in the dunes ?otherwise
there is little protection from the ever-changing wind. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
| |
Royal St George's |

St George's; there is a natural look and feel to the
course that blends beautifully into the surroundings. |

the British Isles's most aesthetically pleasing inland
courses. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
| |
Ballyneal |
| Ballyneal sounds Irish so it's fitting
that this is a links course albeit an inland links.
Even the address ?Holyoke ?sounds like a British Open
Championship venue. |

Mature deciduous trees line many of the Bermuda grass
fairways and the rough is notoriously thick and tangly. |
