I am often asked what are the top courses I have played in the world?? With the help of Top100golfcourse.com, Golf , Golf Digest, and Planet Golf, I have come up with the following list. To qualify, the courses must have been ranked in the most recent World Top 100 in ONE of these publications and have received a Black++ ratings from me. Unfortunately, Golfweek doesn't have a worldwide ranking as courses are only placed in regions. You may notice that I do have "favorite" courses that may be ranked higher than the consensus opinion and a few that I think are way overrated. As I travel the golf world watch for future changes and expansion of my list.
