What Makes a Good Golf Course?

Are you someone who is fond of playing golf? Then you can probably tell the difference between golf courses that are well-designed and those that aren't. There are thousands of golf courses located across the globe and you probably won't be able to visit them all in a single lifetime. So why waste your time playing in the mediocre ones when you only deserve to play in the best.

One sure way to know if a golf course is at par with international standards is if it has accreditation from United States Golf Association (USGA). This group has established a set of guidelines which all golf courses must meet in order to be accredited. Of course, credible golf designers and architects are all aware of these standards and follow them for the most part.

Good courses are characterized by having well manicured fairways and greens. They also need to have their fair share of challenges to spice up any golf game. These challenges come in the form of water hazards such as lakes and streams-either natural or manmade. If the golf course is located by the sea the ocean can serve as an extra challenge.

Sand bunkers of different shapes and sizes also guard the greens. These bunkers add an extra layer of difficulty for golfers to get their ball into the hole. In some holes, crevices can serve as added challenges. Courses built on mountains have plenty of these to offer golfers, while they have less of the water hazards.

Aside from giving golfers a more challenging golfing experience, these hazards also serve to beautify the golf course. While waiting for your turn to hit the ball you can enjoy the view of the clear blue sea, the majestic mountains, and so much more. Well-designed courses make every golf game a challenging yet relaxing experience at the same time.

Hopefully, more courses will continue to follow USGA standards, so golfers around the world can be provided with the best golfing experiences.
