Golfers' Choice Rankings 2023: Best Surroundings

Whether it's a blue ocean, a snowy mountain peak, or lush meadows, every golfer loves nice views on the golf course. This is the Golfers' Choice ranking of the golf clubs with the best surroundings in 2023. Only golf clubs with enough reviews have qualified for this ranking and only the rating for the surrounding has been taken into account.

A scenic golf course or a golf course with great surroundings is one that combines the beauty of nature with the artistry of the golf course architect. There are no set rules to be considered "scenic" as a golf course, it's all in the eye of the beholder. You will recognise a golf course with great surroundings when you see one. However, there are some elements that usually lead to high scores on the "great surroundings-meter".

First and foremost, the golf course must be located in an area that is naturally beautiful. This could be a forested area, a coastal region, or a mountainous landscape. The natural beauty of the surroundings must be highlighted and incorporated into the design of the golf course.

So a scenic golf course is one that seamlessly blends natural beauty, water features, quality landscaping, and thoughtful architecture to create a stunning and memorable golfing experience.
