World's best golf course is in New Zealand
Wellington, Oct.8 : The Cape Kidnappers Golf Course has been rated as the world's
best by the Daily Telegraph.
It heads a top 10 that includes, in order, Royal County Down, Northern Ireland, Pebble
Beach, United States, Leopard Creek, South Africa, Green Monkey, Barbados, Domaine de
Sperone, Corsica, Turnberry, Scotland, Canouan, The Grenadines, Doonbeg, Ireland, and
Royal Melbourne.
Telegraph travel news editor Charles Starmer-Smith says: "This course, on the east
coast of New Zealand's North Island, comes top of our list for its dramatic location.
Built on what was a sheep station, its fairways play out along a series of jagged ridges
that jut out like fingers into the Pacific before plunging down to the rocks below.
Players must contend with fearsome ravines, contoured fairways and fast, tilted
greens."
