Over 120 years ago, Harry Vardon shared his thoughts on what were the best golf holes in the world: “This is a difficult matter if you limit the question to three varieties of holes, as there are certainly some of equal merit. In the one-stroke holes. I think the hardest and best are the 11th at St. Andrews; the 17th at Newcastle, Ireland; The Maiden and the 8th hole at Sandwich, & the three at Ganton. Of the two-stroke holes, the 17th at Prestwick is certainly the best and hardest that can be found; and I consider the 14th at Sandwich and the 7th at Jersey among the best of three stroke holes. No doubt there are heaps of holes of equal merit, but it is not easy to remember them, as I play on so many courses, but the 17th hole at Prestwick stands out above any other as a good and difficult hole." A wonderful assessment from the 7-time Major Champion and 6-time @TheOpen Champion. @GolfClubAtlas @GolfersJournal @gcamagazine
